A COLLEGE LECTURER WHO PAID #500 TO A STUDENT TO SAVAGELY
DISFIGURE HIS BEAUTIFUL MISTRESS WHEN SHE JILTED HIM WAS BRANDED AN
EVIL MIND-TWISTED COWARD BY AN OLD BAILEY JUDGE ON WEDNESDAY.
JAILING EDWARD WILLIAMS, 51, FOR FOUR YEARS JUDGE HOLDEN
TOLD HIM:’YOU GOT OTHERS TO DO YOUR DIRTY WORK.
‘
WILLIAMS SHOWED NO EMOTION WHEN THE JUDGE ADDED:’ THE FACT IS
THAT YOU EMBARKED ON WHAT WAS A VERY EVIL PLAN.
YOU APPEAR TO HAVE
BEEN DETERMINED SEE ANITA QUINSEY COME TO SERIOUS HARM.
‘
WILLIAMS WAS FOUND GUILTY BY THE JURY OF AIDING AND ABETTING
OTHERS TO UNLAWFULLY WOUND MRS QUINSEY.
THE COURT HEARD THAT HE HAD FORCED ONE OF HIS STUDENTS,
TREVOR FRATER, 25, AND A FRIEND, NEVILLE BAILEY, 26, TO CARRY OUT THE
SAVAGE GLASSING ATTACK.
FRATER AND BAILEY WRE BOTH CONVICTED OF WOUNDING AND ROBBERY.
AND JAILED FOR 12 MONTHS.
THE JUDGE SAID THEY HAD BEEN UNDER THE POWERFUL INFLUENCE OF
WILLIAMS.
RAGING ROMEO EDWARD WILLIAMS, 51, WAS ‘CONSUMED WITH
JEALOUSY’ WHEN THE PRETTY BLONDE SHOP ASSISTANT SAID SHE WAS JILTING
HIM, THE COURT HEARD.
THE LECHEROUS LECTURER, WHO GOT HIS KICKS FROM BEATING
HER, WANTED HER HIDEOUSLY SCARRED FOR LIFE SO THAT NO MAN WOULD EVER
LOOK AT HER AGAIN, SAID MR CHRISTOPHER MITCHELL, PROSECUTING.
.
HIS TERRIFIED MISTRESS, ANITA QUINSEY, 44, WAS ATTACKED
OUTSIDE HER HOME IN SURREY’S STOCKBROKER BELT.
SHE WAS BRUTALLY
SLASHED WITH A BROKEN WINE GLASS BY TWO ‘HIT MEN’ IN THE PAY OF
WILLIAMS.
WILLIAMS, WHO LECTURES IN ENGINEERING AT CROYDON COLLEGE,
SOUTH LONDON, PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO INCITING OTHERS TO CAUSE MRS
QUINSEY GREVIOUS BODILY HARM.
FOR FIVE YEARS THE LECTURER SPUN A WEB OF DECEIT.
HE
PROFESSED UNDYING LOVE FOR MRS QUINSEY WHO LEFT HER HUSBAND AND
FAMILY FOR HIM.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME HE TOLD HIS DEVOTED WIFE, A 52-YEAR-OLD
STATE REGISTERED NURSE, THAT HE WOULD NEVER LEAVE HER AND THAT IT WAS
MRS QUINSEY WHO WAS BESOTTED WITH HIM.
A DETECTIVE SAID:’IN MORE THAN 20 YEARS IN THE POLICE FORCE
I HAVE NEVER MET SUCH A HORRIBLE MAN.
I’VE DEALT WITH MURDERERS AND
RAPISTS BUT WILLIAMS REALLY MAKES ME CRINGE.
‘
AT WORK WILLIAMS WAS RESPECTED AS A DEVOTED FAMILY MAN.
HE
HAD BEEN MARRIED FOR 27 YEARS AND HAS TWO CHILDREN AT UNIVERSITY.
BUT IN SECRET HE GOT HIS KICKS OUT OF WHIPPING HIS MISTRESS
WITH A LEATHER BELT AND SUBJECTING HER TO EMOTIONAL TORTURE.
THE SILVER TONGUED SEDUCER HAD NO DIFFICULTY ENTICING WOMEN
WITH HIS MAGNETIC CHARM.
BUT ONCE IN HIS CLUTCHES THEY BECAME JEALOUSLY GUARDED
POSSESSIONS.
IN 1975 WILLIAMS MET A HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATOR WHILE ON A
COURSE IN EDINGBURGH.
SHE FELL FOR HIM AND HE PERSUADED HER TO PACK
HER BAGS AND MOVE TO LONDON WHERE SHE COULD BE HIS MISTRESS.
EVEN NOW SHE LIVES IN FEAR THAT WILLIAMS MAY HAVE HER
ATTACKED BECAUSE SHE NO LONGER BELONGS TO HIM.
‘SHE SLEEPS WITH A
KNIFE AND A HAMMER UNDER HER PILLOW,’ SAID A DETECTIVE.
MRS QUINSEY MET WILLIAMS IN 198O WHEN SHE WAS WORKING AT A
RESTAURANT WHERE HE WAS DINING.
HE CHATTED HER UP AND THEY BECAME
LOVERS.
HE ALWAYS TOLD HER HE WOULD LEAVE HIS WIFE AND BEGIN A NEW
LIFE WITH HER.
‘BUT IT WAS ALL LIES,’ SHE TOLD THE COURT.
AS THE AFFAIR DREW TO AN END WILLIAMS SUBJECTED HER TO MORE
AND MORE VIOLENCE.
‘HE WORE A LEATHER BELT AND STRUCK ME ALL OVER MY
BODY WITH IT.
IF I SCREAMED HE WOULD HIT ME MORE,’ SHE SAID.
ON ANOTHER OCCASION SHE HAD TO FLEE FROM HER HOUSE, IN
ONSLOW GARDENS, WALLINGTON, SURREY, AND CLIMB OVER A NEIGHBOURS FENCE
TO ESCAPE FROM HIM.
‘HE TREATED ME LIKE A SLAVE.
I BECAME A NERVOUS WRECK.
HE
WAS PLAYING ME OFF AGAINST HIS WIFE,’ SHE SAID.
BUT IT WAS THE MENTAL AGONY OF ALWAYS BEING THE THIRD PARTY
IN THE BIZARRE LOVE TRIANGLE WHICH FINALLY CONVINCED HER SHE MUST
LEAVE HIM.
IN AUTUMN LAST YEAR SHE TOLD WILLIAMS THEY WERE FINISHED.
BUT HE REFUSED TO ACCEPT THIS AND SAID SHE WOULD NEVER ESCAPE FROM
HIM.
‘HE TOLD ME HE WOULD FIND ME WHEREVER I WENT.
HE WOULD
TRACK ME DOWN.
HE SAID HE WOULD DISFIGURE ME AND THEN NO ONE ELSE
WOULD LOOK AT ME,’ MRS QUINSEY SAID.
POSSESSED WITH JEALOUSY WILLIAMS APPROACHED ONE OF HIS
STUDENTS, TREVOR FRATER, 25, IN THE CLASS ROOM AND ASKED HIM TO CARRY
OUT ‘THE HIT.
‘
FRATER TEAMED UP WITH A FRIEND, NEVILLE BAILEY, 26, .
AT
FIRST THEY PLANNED TO TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN.
BUT WILLIAMS KEPT
PESTERING THEM AND OFFERING THEM MORE AND MORE CASH, THE COURT HEARD.
FINALLY, ON NOVEMBER 20 LAST YEAR FRATER AND BAILEY
AMBUSHED THE TERRIFIED MISTRESS OUTSIDE HER HOME.
SHE WAS SAVAGELY
SLASHED ABOUT THE FACE AND LEFT LYING ON THE PAVEMENT COVERED IN
BLOOD.
ANGRY NEIGHBOURS RUSHED TO HER AID AND CAPTURED BAILEY WHOM
THEY HANDED OVER TO THE POLICE.
HE TOLD DETECTIVES THAT WILLIAMS WANTED MRS QUINSEY CUT AND
DISFIGURED.
‘HE SAID SHE FELT SHE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL SHE COULD DO
ANYTHING SHE LIKED.
HE WANTED HER LEFT SO SHE COULDN’T DO THE SAME
THING AGAIN,’ THE COURT HEARD.
FRATER, FROM CASTEWICK ROAD, WEST NORWOOD, PLEADED GUILTY
TO ROBBING MRS QUINSEY BUT DENIED CAUSING HER GRIEVOUS BODILY HARM.
BAILEY, 26, OF LOAMPIT HILL, LEWISHAM, PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO BOTH
CHARGES.
MRS QUINSEY HAD PLASTIC SURGERY TO HIDE THE UGLY
SCARS CAUSED BY HER INJURIES.
BUT MONTHS AFTER THE ATTACK A PIECE OF
GLASS WAS STILL EMBEDDED IN HER FACE.
WHEN GIVING EVIDENCE SHE BROKE DOWN IN TEARS.
SHE SAID
THAT WILLIAMS, OF BROMLEY HURST, ADDISCOMBE ROAD, CROYDON, WAS
INTIMIDATING HER BY GRINNING AT HER FROM THE DOCK.
MRS QUINSEY WARNED THE JURY TO BEWARE OF WILLIAMS’S CHARM.
‘HE’S AN ACTOR.
HE CAN MAKE YOU BELIEVE ANYTHING HE WANTS,’ SHE SAID.
WHEN WILLIAMS WENT INTO THE WITNESS BOX MRS QUINSEY
SCREAMED FROM THE PUBLIC GALLERY:’IT’S ALL LIES.
‘
A DETECTIVE SAID OUTSIDE COURT:’NO WOMAN WAS SAFE FROM
HIM.
THEY FELL FOR HIS CHARM.
BUT ONCE HE GOT HIS CLAWS INTO THEM HE
WOULD NOT LET THEM GO.
HE IS A REAL JEYKLL AND HYDE CHARACTER.
‘
END.
