He had been in the drowned bathtub, the foster father told the police. But it quickly seemed that the boy had suffered extensive physical and sexual abuse and there was no sign of drowning.
The police noticed that in the interrogation Varley was a completely different person. His partner and he denied having abused the infant, but the data was overwhelming against them.
Both, the BBC reports, said how difficult it seemed to them to raise the baby and in messages they were talking about insomnia and how "annoying" the young man was. Until they abused him to death. ..
