Andrew 'Benji' Veniamin

I know this is about Williams, but it is surprising that there is NO mention of someone reported to be his best friend,(see refs) was extremely close to Williams' wife, and was supposedly Williams bodyguard and (possibly) his 'hitman'. Anytime you saw Williams, Veniamin was usually there. (at least on the TV News!) Surely there should be some mention of him?

Funeral coverage

Reported to have been buried in a "gold plated coffin" (at least they showed a gold coffin at the church) is that something that should be added? Certainly not all that common, in my POV. Roberta Williams arrived in a greatly stretched Hummer limousine. Also a bit unusual. No references for this, so far, but that is what was shown on the Sydney(Oz) TV news. Too trivial for addition? --220.101.28.25 (talk) 03:09, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Exercise bike or seat stem?

This article notes "He was bludgeoned to death with an exercise bike handle by another inmate"

However the Matthew Charles Johnson page notes "Using a metal bar from the seat of an exercise bike, Johnson struck Williams on the head"

Do we know which it was, or whether the reporting on the method is conflicting? AnonsysL (talk) 04:47, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
