BISPHAM: So, this whole situation is just heartbreaking. Kiena Dawes’ ex, Ryan Wellings, was caught on camera sobbing after he got arrested for her death. It’s a tough watch.
The footage shows him in a police van, wiping away tears. He was taken in for manslaughter after Kiena, just 23, tragically took her own life following years of abuse. It’s just so sad.
Kiena left behind a note saying she felt “murdered” and that Wellings was responsible. They had a baby together, and it’s just gut-wrenching to think about what she went through.
In court, Wellings was found not guilty of killing her but was convicted of assault and controlling behavior. He’s set to be sentenced soon, and it’s hard to see how justice can ever really be served in a case like this.
The trial revealed that from the start, Wellings was abusive, using Kiena’s mental health struggles against her. She was diagnosed with an emotionally unstable personality disorder, which made things even tougher for her.
They met in early 2020, and it seemed like a whirlwind romance at first. But Kiena later described it as a “fairytale that turned into a nightmare.” It’s just so tragic how quickly things can change.
She faced threats and violence, and on the day she died, she left her baby with a friend before taking her own life. The note she left was heartbreaking, detailing her pain and struggle.
