Three Lancashire Constabulary officers are facing disciplinary proceedings after 23-year-old mum, Kiena Dawes, took her own life following prolonged abuse by her former partner, 30-year-old Ryan Wellings. Ms Dawes was assaulted by Wellings two weeks before she died. He was arrested, and shortly afterwards, Ms Dawes reported him to the police for contacting her – a breach of his bail conditions. An officer had dismissed her complaint, and she was also urged to delete a Facebook post in which she had written about the abuse she’d endured. This all left her feeling, “unsupported” by police and she was upset that Wellings had not been, “locked up”. On Monday, Wellings was found guilty of assault and prolonged domestic abuse at Preston Crown Court but was cleared of manslaughter. Report by Jonesia.
