Family Pay Tribute After Tania Williams Murder Sentence

Tuesday, 29 September 2026 17:45

Raymond Williams has been jailed for life for murdering estranged wife Tania, whose family say her loss changed them forever.

The family of a Norfolk mother-of-four murdered by her estranged husband say they will never get over her death.

Raymond Williams, 61, was sentenced to life imprisonment at Norwich Crown Court for murdering 49-year-old Tania Williams near her home in Thorpe St Andrew.

He must serve a minimum of 27 years before he can be considered for release.

Tania was found with severe injuries and significant blood loss near her home in Catherine Gardens shortly before midnight on 17 January.

She died at the scene from blood loss caused by wounds to her neck.

The court heard Williams had continued to monitor Tania following the breakdown of their marriage and had followed her around Norwich city centre on the night she died.

He denied murder but was unanimously convicted following a 17-day trial.

Tania’s niece, Abigail Larkowsky, described her aunt as a “beacon of light” who was loved by hundreds of people and brought happiness to those around her.

Her family said the murder had changed their lives forever and left an emptiness which could never be filled.

Norfolk Police said it hoped the sentence would provide some measure of justice to those who loved Tania.
