Carl Williams' mother found dead

Barbara Williams, the mother of convicted killer Carl Williams, has been found dead in her Melbourne home.

Citing police sources, Sky News reported that Ms Williams' body was found in a bedroom in the house, adding the only indication as to what had happened was a medicine bottle being found nearby.

Police say there are no suspicious circumstances.

Detective Senior Sergeant Ron Iddles says Ms Williams had been suffering from depression.

"This is a very sad and tragic case. Here's a mother who has brought up her children the best that she can," he said.

"Unfortunately Carl's in jail and her husband's in jail and that's obviously had a massive effect on her.

"With all the publicity that's gone on, that's probably contributed to her depression."

Williams was sentenced in May 2007 to a minimum of 35 years' jail for the murders of three Melbourne underworld rivals - father and son Lewis and Jason Moran and drug dealer Mark Mallia.

His father, and Ms Williams' estranged husband George Williams, 61, is also serving time, sentenced last year to four-and-a-half years' jail after pleading guilty to trafficking a commercial quantity of methylamphetamine.

Nothing new about this story EXCEPT that the report made by the general media is the allusion that she committed suicide by a pill overdose, which is incorrect.

A source closer to the actual event, stated that Barbara Williams hung herself.

There is NOTHING NEW about media deliberately withholding information from the public, for whatever reasons seen fit by the editors / politicians of the day.
