THIS is the shocking moment a twisted fiance drank Prosecco and sang about his manslaughter charge after his abused ex took her own life.
Kiena Dawes, 23, wrote in a tragic suicide note “I was murdered” before she died on railway tracks in Lancashire.
The mum also said her ex Ryan Wellings, 30, had “killed me” after she was repeatedly subjected to sadistic abuse at his hands.
Wellings was today cleared of manslaughter but convicted of assault and controlling and coercive behaviour.
Police have now released a video he shared on Facebook just one hour after he left a police station following his manslaughter charge.
Wellings can be seen in a car with sunglasses on as loud music blared in the background.
Read more on the tragedy:
- Ryan Wellings has been CLEARED of manslaughter but convicted of abuse
- Kiena’s horror injuries have been revealed for the first time
- The mum was captured dropping her baby off before she took her own life
He said: “I’m driving around with a bottle of Prosecco.
“I have been told off an hour ago on a manslaughter charge. It’s all f***ing s**t.
“(Kiena’s mother), you need to take the blame for abandoning your daughter and going to Greece. You are a f***ing s**g.”
The video was in stark contrast of bodycam footage of Wellings’ arrest where he cried fake crocodile tears.
He had been detained just 11 days before Kiena’s death after brutally attacking her in front of their baby daughter.
Shocking images released by police showing blood pouring from the mum’s head on July 11, 2022.

She tells the operator: “Please, please there’s blood everywhere. Please help me…quick.”
Kiena continues: “I really don’t feel very well…I just need to sit down”.
At one point, the mum reassures her daughter as she tells police she “woke up in the hallway” while her baby was screaming.
She adds: “I’m actually pouring with blood. I’ve just woken up. I was unconscious.
“It’s absolutely pouring down my face, but I don’t know what’s happened. Well, I do know what’s happened, but I don’t know what’s happened to the injury.”
When officers arrived at the home, they discovered the mum’s head was bleeding and the bathroom towel rail had been damaged.
Blood was also splattered in the hallway and on a window ledge following the savage attack.
Just 11 days later, Kiena drove to a friend’s home and let herself in while her pal was in the shower.
She was captured leaving her nine-month-daughter inside along with the heartbreaking note.
It read: “The end. I fought hard, I fought long. I went through pain no one could imagine.
“I was murdered. Ryan Wellings killed me. He ruined every bit of strength I had left. I didn’t deserve it.
“I hope my life saves another by police services acting faster. Don’t let bullies live free.”
Kiena then apologised to her daughter for having to “let you go” and told how the world had “turned their back on me”.
She said she hoped the baby would be “kept away from the monster who is called her dad”.
The hairdresser, from Fleetwood in Lancashire, travelled to a country lane and was later struck by a high-speed train.
The court heard the couple had been in an “intense” relationship for two years that was plagued by abuse.
Kiena had been diagnosed with an Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder, which caused increased impulsivity, poor self-esteem and difficulty in relationships.
Instead of caring for his partner, Wellings, who was previously convicted of battering his ex-girlfriend, exploited her condition – eventually driving the mum to suicide.
He would accuse Kiena of sleeping with other people, branded her a “s**g”, threw a stool at her and told her to kill herself.
On one occasion, Wellings dunked her head in the bath and told her: “Say goodbye to your baby”.
He also said he would “make her look like Katie Piper” by throwing acid in her face and threatened to use a drill to take her teeth out.
Lancashire Police, whose handling of the Nicola Bulley case was widely criticised, referred themselves to the police watchdog following her death.
The mum had begged them for help and documented her injuries during the abuse campaign.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct launched a probe into whether officers acted quickly enough following concerns for Kiena’s safety.
It previously announced one officer would face gross misconduct proceedings, with two others accused of misconduct.
Wellings has been remanded into custody ahead of sentencing.
