Manling Williams' Deadly Sins: She killed her kids, then slashed her husband 97 times with a sword!

Product Information

A 32-year-old Rowland Heights woman has been sentenced to death for the brutal 2007 murders of her husband and two young sons. Manling Tsang Williams was convicted in 2010 on three counts of first-degree murder for taking the lives of her family members while they slept so that she could be free to be with her lover, according to City News Service. Jan thought Manling was only being questioned due to standard protocol; she had no reason to believe that her daughter-in-law, the mother to her grandchildren and wife to her son murdered her children and husband. Jan and Manling’s parents comforted each other as they waited for more news on their murdered family members. Also testifying Monday were the sheriff’s deputy who first responded to the murder scene, a neighbor and two of Manling Williams’ friends.

Following the killings, the judge said, Manling Williams typed up a note indicating that Neal Williams had killed the children and himself, she disposed of bloody clothing and returned home before screaming to neighbors that someone had killed her family. On Thursday at the Pomona Courthouse, Deputy District Attorney Pak Kouch introduced the new jury - split evenly between men and women - to the Williams family. Defense attorney Tom Althaus, who made the final statements Monday, said the defense wasn't trying to justify the murders. In the end,Okun-Wiese said the time of death was meaningless because the verdict remains the same either way.Jan walked out of the small courtroom last Tuesday morning, her face somber, blue eyes dull. She had heard of the prosecutors’ plans earlier but hoped they might change their mind. They didn’t. They said they believed the crimes merited the death penalty. He had multiple stab and slashing wounds. His hands were mangled and he had a very large “X” slash in his torso. There was an excessive amount of blood around him and the carpet in the condo was saturated with it also. Laying close by was a sword, also with blood on it. Nelson was convicted in the stabbing deaths of fortune teller Ha "Jade" Smith, and her daughter Anita Vo. [36]

Okun-Wiese also said testimony contradicted the actions of Williams, who had her parents baby-sit her children on a daily basis. She was found guilty and sentenced to death, with her motive for the murders being so she could be with her lover.The judge pointed out that Manling Williams had numerous family members who would have taken in the children, should she have decided to abandon them.
