His partner, John McGowan Fazakerley, was sentenced to 25 years after being convicted of causing or allowing the death of a child. The verdicts brought to a close one of the most disturbing child abuse cases in recent years. Preston Davey was a vulnerable young boy who should have been protected by the adults responsible for his care. Instead, prosecutors argued that he was subjected to horrific abuse that ultimately cost him his life. As details of the investigation emerged, the case sparked widespread outrage and raised serious questions about how such a tragedy could have happened. In this episode, David Wilson and Martin Frisell examine the case, the investigation, the trial and the devastating circumstances that led to Preston's death.
