When Kiena wrote 'I was murdered' in her final note before taking her life on railway tracks, she sparked a landmark domestic abuse case that challenged the boundaries of criminal responsibility. Join me as we examine the devastating pattern of coercive control by Ryan Wellings, the police failures that preceded her death, and the groundbreaking 2025 trial that resulted in his conviction for assault and controlling behavior but acquittal on manslaughter charges. This deeply researched episode features exclusive insights into the suicide note that accused Wellings 'from beyond the grave' and explores why cases like Kiena's—where an estimated 200 women take their lives annually due to domestic abuse trauma—rarely result in serious charges against abusers. This is the heartbreaking story of a mother who believed her death was the only way to protect her infant daughter from 'the monster who is called her dad.'
