The mother of a 13-month-old baby who was murdered and sexually abused by a sick ex-teacher has broken down in tears as her statement was read to the court.
Mother's Heartbreaking Testimony
Sarah Davey, biological mother of Preston Davey, was seen crying in court as her statement was read out in front of the sick teacher Jamie Varley and his partner John McGowan-Fazakerley.
Her statement heartbreakingly details how 'perfect' Preston was from the moment he was born and how it was not her choice for him to be taken from her.
Sarah's statement went on to speak to the twisted couple directly as she told them: 'I will never forgive you for what you did to my son and what you stopped him from becoming and achieving in his life.'
Full Statement Read to Court
The full statement read to the court said: 'Preston Paul Arlo Davey was perfect from the moment he was born. The second he was placed in my arms, I fell completely in love with him. He was my baby, my only son, and from that day on I never wanted to let him go.
'For the first seven months of his life, I was lucky enough to spend precious time with him. He had the most beautiful smile, one that could light up any room, and the bond we shared was something everyone could see. Those memories should have brought me comfort—but instead, they are now mixed with pain, because I know what you put him through in his final months.
'The day he was taken from me was one of the worst days of my life. I had no choice in that decision. I tried to take some comfort in believing he would be safe, loved, and protected, and he was with his foster parents, Sandra and Paul, I trusted them, they and the system trusted you, that trust was completely and unforgivably broken. Preston was innocent.
'He was defenceless. He relied entirely on you—the adults responsible for him—to love him, care for him, and keep him safe. Instead, you caused him suffering. You took away his chance to grow up, to go to school, to make friends, to live a full life. You took everything from him.
'There are no words that can truly describe the moment I was told my son had died. My world ended. A part of me died with him. But what makes it even more unbearable is knowing that his death was not an accident—it was something cruel, something he did not deserve, something that should never have been allowed to happen.
'I'd always wanted to have him christened and this is something I prayed you would do for him, we had to do this when he was dead, a day which should be a celebration, was another day of mourning, suffering and filled with sadness. I will never forgive you for what you did to my son and what you stopped him from becoming and achieving in his life.'
