Kiena Dawes' abuser rapped about her death and swigged prosecco in sick video

Kiena Dawes' twisted abuser recorded a sick video in which he swigged prosecco and rapped about her death - less than an hour after being charged with manslaughter.

Ryan Wellings shared the video of himself on Facebook, in which he blamed Kiena's mother for her death. He can be seen wearing sunglasses while sitting in the passenger seat of a car as music blares in the background.

"I'm driving around with a bottle of prosecco," he says in the footage. "I was told off an hour ago on a manslaughter charge. It's all f***ing s**t."

The 30-year-old thug then growls: "[Kiena's mum] you'd better take the blame for abandoning your daughter and going off to Greece. You're a f***ing slag."

It is a stark contrast to police bodycam footage, which captured Wellings crying fake crocodile tears while being arrested, Lancs Live reports. The landscape gardener, from Bispham, Lancashire, was detained after hairdresser Kiena, 23, took her own life after two years of domestic abuse and violence.

She left their eight-month-old daughter with a friend before driving to a nearby railway line in July 2022. Kiena left a suicide note stating "I was murdered" and that Wellings had "killed me".

Wellings was found not guilty of killing Kiena after denying manslaughter, but was convicted of assault and guilty of controlling and coercive behaviour towards her. During his trial at Preston Crown Court, Wellings told the jury he had recorded and uploaded the video to Facebook.

Paul Greaney KC, prosecuting, asked him: "You uploaded it on purpose to intimidate the Dawes family and show them who is boss."

Welling claimed: "I did not know what I was doing. I know I did wrong and did some stupid things." That's me hurting. Being blamed for killing my kid's mum,
