Preston Davey killer spends first night in jail ‘sobbing and quaking’ | UK | News

Preston Davey’s killer Jamie Varley spent the first night of his whole life term at ‘Monster Mansion’ “sobbing and quaking” in his cell as screaming lags warned they would make him pay, insiders claim.

Furious inmates are said to have delivered the sicko a “traditional prisoners welcome”, hammering on the bars and issuing warnings that his time is limited for the appalling abuse he subjected little Preston to.

The chilling threats greeted Varley as he arrived at HMP Wakefield, known as Monster Mansion, where he was transferred directly after his sentencing at Preston Crown Court last week.

Varley was handed a whole life order for the horrific abuse of adopted 13-month-old baby Preston. Following an eight-week trial the 37-year-old was found guilty of murder, sexual assault, and a catalogue of other heinous child sex offences.

And the stark reality of his new existence appeared to “hit” him as he spent his first night weeping in his cell, insiders say, reports Daily Star.

“It was quite the hit home for how the rest of his life will be,” a source revealed exclusively to the Daily Star.

“Varley was in for a rude awakening if he thought he would be getting an easy ride. He is arguably one of Britain’s most hated men right now, and that stands in the prison too.

“There’s a bounty on his head everyone wants to be the one to hurt him first, and he was made very aware of that as he entered the prison.

“The other prisoners knew he was coming and they waited for him. They want him scared and they want to make his time inside as awful as they can – and now he knows he has a lot of time inside to serve. He is never getting out, there is no way out of this hell for him.”

Varley is understood to be currently held in segregation. This means he will spend most of his time confined to his cell in isolation, without contact with others, while guards monitor him around the clock to ensure his safety.

“In time he will be allowed to move about a bit more, but any time he does leave his cell it is likely he will be flanked by guards, they have a duty of care to him,” the insider added.

“He was welcomed last night by loud banging and shouting as fellow prisoners who anticipated his arrival when they learnt of a prison van arriving to drop off newbies.

“He was whispering to himself and spent the whole night just sobbing in his cell. He must be thinking that an attack is inevitable, it is just a case of when.”

Mental health specialists are also expected to be brought into the Category A facility in West Yorkshire to assess his psychological state, as he remains under 24-hour suicide watch.

“High profile prisoners are often placed on this as a matter of protocol,” the source added. “But in this case it is probably called for and a real possibility. What has he got to live for?”.

Wakefield ranks among Britain’s most infamous prisons, renowned for housing the nation’s most dangerous offenders. It houses between 630 and 750 high-risk offenders, the overwhelming majority serving lengthy or indeterminate life sentences, with prominent inmates over the years including Harold Shipman, Levi Bellfield, Ian Huntley, and Charles Bronson.

“Things will not be getting any better for him any time soon,” the insider continued. “In fact every day he survives, the bounty will increase for taking him out.

“Guards certainly have a job on their hands keeping him safe.”

The present whereabouts of Varley’s partner John McGowan-Fazakerley remain unknown, though insiders suggest he is probably being held at either HMP Manchester (Strangeways) or HMP Full Sutton.
