Just 22 days after the death of their 13-month-old adopted son, child murderer Jamie Varley and his depraved boyfriend John McGowan-Fazakerley splashed out £450,000 on a newbuild home intent on starting a new life together.A huge detached home with a manicured green garden, a double garage and spacious driveway, 10 Chandlers Way looks like a show home on a quiet street surrounded by fields.But beneath this veneer of suburban respectability in the Preston village of Grimsargh, Varley, 37, and McGowan-Fazakerley, 32, had been harbouring a sickening secret. For these two predators moving into the neighbourhood had subjected little Preston Davey to a catalogue of physical, sexual and emotional abuse during the final four months of his short life. Preston, a beautiful, curly-haired baby with a beaming smile, tragically died in hospital on July 27, 2023. On Thursday, murderer Varley was sentenced to a whole life order, while child abuser McGowan-Fazakerley was jailed for 25 years. Former high school teacher Varley, described by one officer as an 'arrogant, self-centred liar', told police Preston had accidentally drowned in a bath, but a post-mortem examination discovered the child had suffered 40 traumatic injuries.In the hours after Preston's death, Varley was arrested on suspicion of child cruelty, murder and rape of a child under 13. McGowan-Fazarkerley, a sales manager for a finance company, was also arrested on suspicion of causing and allowing the death of a child and neglect.But despite being arrested and put at the centre of a shocking child death investigation, we can reveal that the couple purchased a brand new property for £449,995 on August 18 2023 - just three weeks after they were arrested. Neighbours noticed the couple, who took out a mortgage to fund their new life, move in later that month.
