Jul 18 2007

A BIRMINGHAM man has appeared in court charged with the triple murder of a mother and her two children.

Pierre Williams, 32, is accused of killing Beverley Samuels, 36, her daughter Kesha Wizzart, 18, and son Fred Wizzart, 13, at their home in Fallowfield, Manchester.

Their bodies were discovered by a member of the public at their red-brick terraced house on Thelwall Avenue at about 7pm last Thursday.

Post mortem examinations revealed all three died of head injuries.

Williams, who grew up in the city's Moss Side district but had recently been living in Selly Oak, appeared at Manchester Magistrates' Court.

He was remanded in custody until next week.

Mrs Samuels was a nurse at the Manchester Royal Infirmary, was a friend of Williams but the pair had not seen one another for some time.

Kesha was a pupil at Parrs Wood High School. She had just completed her A-levels and had won a scholarship to study law at the University of Manchester. The teenager hoped to become a barrister.

Fred suffered from dyslexia and was a pupil at a special school, the St John Vianney School in Stretford, Manchester, where he had studied for more than four years.
