Young mother left harrowing suicide note accusing her ‘abusive’ boyfriend of ‘killing her’ after ‘ruining every bit of strength she had left’ before jumping in front of train – as he denies manslaughter

A young mother who tragically threw herself in front of a train after suffering a campaign of domestic abuse left a note saying her partner had ‘killed me’, a jury heard today. ‘Bright and popular’ Kiena Dawes, 23, [left] left her nine-month-old daughter with a friend then drove to a nearby railway line, lying across the tracks as an express train approached at 110mph. Following her death, a suicide note was found on her phone in which she wrote: ‘Ryan Wellings killed me.’ Her final words were today read to a jury as 30-year-old Wellings stood trial for the manslaughter of Ms Dawes, as well as controlling and coercive behaviour over a two-and-a-half year period and assaulting causing actual bodily harm.
