Lancashire: A heartbreaking story has emerged about Kiena Dawes, a young mother who tragically took her own life. Her friend, Kacie Valentine, found a suicide note while looking after Kiena’s baby. Imagine the shock when Kacie discovered the note tucked in with the little girl. She ran out of her house screaming, desperate to save her friend.
Kiena, just 23, had been struggling with severe mental health issues, largely due to the abuse from her partner, Ryan Wellings. The court heard that Kiena left her phone with a devastating message before heading to a nearby railway track, where she was struck by a train.
The jury saw footage of Kacie’s frantic reaction after finding the note. It was a gut-wrenching moment, showing just how desperate Kiena’s situation was. She arrived at Kacie’s home looking defeated, carrying her baby and a heavy bag, clearly overwhelmed by her circumstances.
In her note, Kiena expressed her pain and despair, saying she felt like she was slowly being murdered by the abuse she endured. She hoped her story would help others and urged people to listen to those who are suffering.
Ryan Wellings was on trial for Kiena’s manslaughter but was found not guilty. However, he was convicted of assault and controlling behavior towards her. Kiena’s note revealed her deep love for her daughter and her wish for her to be safe from harm.
Throughout their relationship, Kiena faced constant threats and violence from Wellings, who had initially swept her off her feet. But what started as a fairytale quickly turned into a nightmare, filled with fear and pain.
This tragic case highlights the urgent need for better support for those facing domestic abuse. If you or someone you know is struggling, there are resources available to help.
