Killer's Further Abuse Claims

Convicted killer, Pierre Williams, is being investigated for further counts of abuse.

Williams murdered his former girlfriend Beverley Samuels, 36, her daughter Kesha Wizzart, 18, and son Fred Wizzart, 13, after sexually assaulting both mother and daughter.

The 33-year-old was sentenced at Manchester Crown Court on March 6 to a minimum of 38 years behind bars.

Williams carried out the murders with a 2lb engineer’s hammer two days after his girlfriend rejected his sexual advances when he turned up uninvited at the family home in Thelwall Avenue, Fallowfield, Manchester on July 12, last year.

Dectective Sergeant Ian Foster, of Greater Manchester Police said: "What I am concerned at the moment is I suspect other women may have suffered at his hands. If that is the case I would ask them to come forward and speak to us."

Williams, of Selly Oak, Birmingham, was a former member of the Manchester Gooch Gang and had a history of sexual violence against women before the triple murder.

He has served prison sentences for harassment and assault.
