Mothers Suicide Note Said 'I Was Murdered By Boyfriend', Court Hears
Young mother hit by a train left suicide note accusing her partner, Ryan Wellings, of killing her after prolonged abuse MailOnline 28 NOV 2024 ![]() A young mother who was tragically hit by a train after suffering a campaign of domestic abuse left a note saying her partner had 'killed me', a jury heard ![]() ![]() THUG Wellings denies manslaughter of Kiena Dawes who was struck by a train travelling at 110mph Bright and popular Kiena Dawes, 23, left her nine-month-old daughter with a friend then drove to a nearby railway line, lying across the tracks as an express train approached at 110mph. Following her death, a suicide note was found on her phone in which she wrote: Ryan Wellings killed me. Her final words were read to a jury as 30-year-old Wellings stood trial for the manslaughter of Ms Dawes, as well as controlling and coercive behaviour over a two-and-a-half year period and assaulting causing actual bodily harm. Wellings treated Ms Dawes in a thoroughly abusive way and subjected her to repeated physical assaults during the pairs relationship, Paul Greaney, KC, told jurors. A final assault on July 11, 2022 just 11 days before her suicide on the West Coast Main Line near Garstang, Lancashire - was a 'significant factor' in her decision to take her own life, he said. In the suicide note, Ms Dawes wrote: Ryan Wellings killed me. Kayleigh Anderson Wellings' ex partner helped torture me. He ruined every bit of strength I had left. I didnt deserve it. I didnt ask for it. I was murdered. Slowly....They tortured me till there was nothing left. I lost my fight but I didn't give up my battle. Ms Dawes wrote that worst of all was having to leave behind the daughter she shared with Wellings. Please can the world protect her, she added. Make sure she is safe. She is loved. I'm so sorry I had to go. I tried my hardest to stay with you, to keep you safe from these monsters. ![]() Judge Robert Altham, the Honorary Recorder of Preston, warned jurors not to let sympathy and emotion affect their deliberations. It's a terribly sad case,' he said. Whatever your findings, the fact remains Ms Dawes lost her life. He said it was 'natural' for jurors to experience feelings of sadness, feelings of sympathy. But they would need to recognise sympathy and emotion when it crops up and put it to one side and deal with the evidence in a cold and analytical manner. The trial continues. |
