Preston Davey killer Jamie Varley allegedly abused baby after discovering partner’s infidelity, former colleague claims
A former work colleague of convicted baby killer Jamie Varley has disclosed a potential motive behind the systematic abuse that led to the tragic death of 13-month-old Preston Davey. The 37-year-old former secondary school teacher was recently condemned to a definitive whole-life order for the horrific sexual abuse and suffocation murder of the infant. According to a female source who previously worked alongside the killer, Varley may have subjected the vulnerable toddler to severe violence as a direct, displaced reaction after discovering that his partner, Christopher John McGowan-Fazakerley, had been unfaithful.
The former colleague revealed that an ongoing affair allegedly caused significant domestic volatility within the couple’s relationship shortly before the murder took place. The source stated that Varley reportedly discovered incriminating messages on McGowan-Fazakerley’s mobile phone detailing an extramarital relationship that is assumed to have occurred in Manchester, where McGowan-Fazakerley was employed. The informant alleged that Varley internalized immense hatred and anger over the betrayal, ultimately choosing to project his rage directly onto the defenseless infant.
Medical examinations conducted after the tragedy exposed the brutal extent of the violence inflicted inside the household. When Preston Davey was rushed to the emergency room, medical teams documented at least 40 distinct internal and external injuries covering the toddler’s body. During his high-profile criminal trial, Varley attempted to evade legal responsibility by manufacturing a false narrative, claiming that the child had accidentally drowned in the bathtub. This defense was completely rejected by the court, while McGowan-Fazakerley was also handed a severe 25-year prison sentence for child cruelty and allowing the catastrophic death of a child.
As the shocking domestic motive comes to light, internal administrative leaks from HMP Wakefield confirm that the notorious killer is taking desperate measures to protect himself from fellow inmates. Dubbed the “Monster Mansion” due to the dangerous sex offenders and violent lifers it houses, the high-security facility has proven to be an incredibly hostile environment for the former teacher. In a bid to hide his identity and escape targeted vigilante attacks, Varley has officially submitted paperwork to legally alter his name by deed poll at a statutory cost of £53.05.
Prison sources have verified that the convict has assumed the fabricated name “Harry Jae Robb,” deliberately inserting “Jae” as a middle name in the hope of securing total anonymity behind bars. Correctional insiders state that Varley is absolutely petrified and fully recognizes that he carries a massive target on his back due to the nature of his crimes. While he remains under strict protective segregation, the killer genuinely believes a new identity will prevent the general prison population from recognizing him during internal movements, demonstrating a complete state of panic as he begins his lifetime sentence without the possibility of parole.
