The mother of a woman who took her own life after suffering prolonged domestic violence has branded her daughter’s abuser “a monster”.
Angela Dawes told journalists in a statement outside Preston Crown Court that she wished she could bring Kiena Dawes back and tell her “it’s OK, you’re safe now”.
Kiena, 23, left a note saying, “Ryan Wellings killed me”, before leaving their nine-month-old daughter with a friend and taking her own life on a railway line on July 22 2022.

Evidence please
if it was prolonged domestic violence why wasn't he in jail. man beats woman, police do nothing, woman dead. police say its an isolated incident. just thousands of them
oh look, white british christian male are not immune to abusing women and children too, whoever would have thought, my heart goes out to the victims
Confused as fuck
He is a monster and the verdict is shameful.poor girl . So very sad . As an abuse survivor I know the incompetence that surrounds it. It’s not taken seriously enough . I also thought suicide was a way out … thankfully I didn’t let him win by erasing me totally
Let's all bear in mind that the facts are, more women are the instigators of domestic violence than men. Sorry about that.
And to his parents for raising an absolute disgusting cretin for a human you have blood on your hands. To the men that hear or know of this behaviour from your friends YOU also need to be calling it out.
DO BETTER.
Another monster gets away with it COWARD PICKING ON A DEFENCELESS WOMAN
The fact is, she took her own life.. she made that choice. No doubt the guy may have been a scumbag, but he didn't kill her. She did it to herself.
Normal family for UK…😮
This is so badddd. It breaks my heart where my country is now. It hurts, dropping off your daughter then ending it. That poor woman, I could cry. He should never see the light of day again, this has also wrecked her daughters life, she has no mum.
Another attack against men. No surprise there in this rediculous country.
The 1400 girls just ignored because Mohammad
Once again police do nothing to a male abuser. Why is it okay in this country for an abusive male to literally unalive his partner through abuse? Why do courts so often disbelieve female victims and side with the abuser? THEY'RE NOT ALL EFFING MAKING IT UP
Someone will deal with it.
One look at him and you'd know he's trouble. Why do these Women go after 'bad boys' and not expect chaos? She was a very attractive woman, she could have dated anyone, but she chose a tattooed, aggressive thug.
if i had the money i would leave the UK in a heart beat .this country is going down and people like this guy get away with it disgrace….rest in piece beautiful soul
So sad rest in peace 😢
I know of a guy who abused there partner, they have a kid and the stuff he wud do to her was disgusting, you cant imagine what its like sometimes but to take your own life it must have been unbearable. The boys family finally found out and they came to girls rescue even though it was there brother they gave him 1 chance and then it got physical they sorted him right out. Sometimes u need the right ppl
Around.
This is femicide. I'm so sorry for this family's loss, no one deserves this and men need to do better
Women will go for these types of men ! The warning signs are all there
Thanking the jury for the wrong decision is a bit strange. As the girl said in her note, he killed her.
If this guy wasn't White, you'd never have heard about this story. IYKYK
People stay away from coke !!
It takes two to tango.
This woman was clearly not stable and lacked the ability to make sound decisions.
Cowerd
See how he copes in prison being abused. He is a "pretty boi".
And nobody questions if its true? Well done believing everything in the papers like a dog with a bone.
The man was evil, but you can't go around trying to turn law on its head because a case is so upsetting.
If you want to blame anyone its the jury they. Decide the outcome of this case ..not the police..stop this right wing lies . It's not deranged. America were lies are the new normal
If a relationship is not right. You should seek help and get out. Speak to someone right away. You can always start again. Nothing is worth harming yourself. It's not just yourself that you harm. it's the people who care about you.
An Eye for an Eye
Also , know islam , no peace…no islam , know peace
He is a monster & I bet he's laughing about it all now. He'll probably have no trouble getting women either because some females find this sort of stuff appealing. ( Peter Sutcliffe, The Yorkshire ripper) recieved many marriage proposals from lovestruck women whilst on remand & awaiting trial for the murders of ,at least, 13 women.
It's a funny old world.
He looks the part.
💔
Obviously a tragedy. Suicide is horrible. And a little child no longer has their mother.
Whilst I dont dispute this couple likely had a toxic relationship… we cant charge people for manslaughter, based on suicide notes.
The real loser in this, is the child. And locking up the child's father, based on a note from someone whos just taken their own life, doesnt really feel like justice, imo.
He's not the first person to do this, it seems to be happening a lot more with cowardly men who think its okay to bully women. The same thing happened to the speaker of the house of commons Lindsey Hoyle and his daughter bullied into taking her own life by her partner.
So sad how women love thugs and scumbags over geeks or nerds or intellectuals.
A prime example of ‘those with the biggest smiles carry the deepest scars’. RIP
Very sad why on earth diddent she have a restraning order then her death could off been prevented R I P ❤
She made the decision to kill herself and leave a child behind. The jury obviously heard all the evidence, unlike us, and they made a decision based on that evidence. What is justice? Giving the public what they want based on emotion rather than evidence ?
