Watch video 'wicked' killer teacher Jamie Varley used to fool professionals he was not abusing murdered baby
The former South Shore Academy teacher used his professional veil of respectability to pull the wool over the eyes of his loved ones, friends and professionals during almost four months of abuse.
A video a killer used to explain away ‘non-accidential’ bruises to a 13-month-old baby boy has been released by police.
Evil monster Jamie Varley has been found guilty of the murder of little Preston Davey after a six week trial at Preston Crown Court.
The former South Shore Academy teacher used his professional veil of respectability to pull the wool over the eyes of his loved ones, friends and professionals during almost four months of abuse.
The textiles teacher and his now ex-partner John McGowwan-Fazakerley were in the process of adopting the youngster through Adoption Now and Oldham Council when they rushed him to Blackpool Victoria Hospital in cardiac arrest.
Despite the best efforts of medics who spent more than an hour trying to save the baby who was pronounced dead.
The court heard Varley told medical staff he had left the child in the bath for two or three minutes and returned to find him submerged at their home in Staining Road, Staining.
But prosecutors allege this was a cover story to explain his sudden death after a sexual assault.
A post-mortem examination found 40 external and internal trauma injuries to the child’s body, consistent with “forcible penetration” and sexual abuse, and ruled out drowning as a cause of death.
Preston’s cause of death was given as acute airway obstruction by an object or object placed in his mouth.
Cruel Varley, of Chandlers Way, Grimsargh and formerly of Staining Road, Staining was found guilty of murder as well as two counts of assault by penetration, five counts of cruelty to a child, grievous bodily harm, sexual assault of a child, 13 counts of taking indecent photos or videos of a child, one of distributing an indecent photo of a child, to his co-accused, and one of making an indecent photo.
McGowan-Fazakerley, 32, also of Chandlers Way, Grimsargh and formerly of Staining Road, Staining was found guilty of allowing the death of a child, three counts of child cruelty and one count of the sexual assault of a child.
Prior to Preston’s death a jury was told he was taken to Blackpool Victoria Hospital on three occasions.
During one visit a doctor raised concerns about a bruise on the baby’s head.
The video released by police shows little Preston holding himself up on a toy box before falling on to his bottom and bringing the lid of the box down on his head.
Prosecutors said this video was used to fool medical professionals about ‘non-accidential’ injuries suffered by baby Preston.
However, when the video was investigated by police they discovered the dates and the age of the bruises did not match.
The video of the incident was filmed by evil Varley along with other acts of cruelty which prosecutors said were trophies of the abuse.
Yesterday day 37-year-old Varley, was unanimously convicted of all charges against him and he now faces life behind bars.
He will be sentenced on Thursday alongside his now ex-partner McGowan-Fazakerley.
