Emma Croft, who supported Ryan Wellings during his trial after his assault and years of domestic abuse of Kiena Dawes, lost her job at The Powder Room, a beauty salon in Blackpool, Lancashire

Judge Altham says "given the gravity of the Ryan Wellings' offending, there's no prospect of a sentence other than immediate custody".

Ryan Wellings was the first person to stand trial accused of the unlawful killing of a partner who ended their own life after suffering domestic abuse.

While Ryan Wellings was found not guilty of Kiena Dawes' manslaughter, his prosecution could help set a precedent for more domestic abuse suspects being charged over victims' deaths in cases of suicide,

A charity which supports women has said it deals with the kind of domestic abuse experienced by Kiena Dawes every day and violent controlling behaviour by a perpetrator was "sadly not a rarity".

Ryan Wellings, 30, was sentenced to six-and-a-half years in prison for controlling and coercive behaviour and assault - but was previously cleared of her manslaughter.

Monster' abuser Ryan Wellings is facing a tough time in prison after being convicted of tormenting his fiancée Kiena Dawes, with a legal expert warning that he will likely be subjected to targeted attacks and isolation from fellow inmates.
