Landscaper Ryan Wellings faces manslaughter charges after partner's suicide; trial ongoing.

Ryan Wellings, a 30-year-old landscaper, is on trial for the manslaughter of his partner, Kiena Dawes, who left a suicide note accusing him of her death before taking her own life in July 2022. Wellings denies charges of assault and coercive behavior, claiming he never intentionally hurt Dawes and that any injuries were a result of him "restraining" her during her attacks on him. Prosecutors presented evidence of injuries and text exchanges where Dawes accused him of abuse. The trial is ongoing at Preston Crown Court.
