Pc Lance Williams, 38, from Llandrindod Wells, Powys, attacked his wife while off duty and then committed suicide on June 11, 2007.  Lance Williams flew into a rage about the break up of his marrage to his wife, Wendy, 36, who he was married to for nine years. At the time they were seperated for one month and the two children, Elinor, 11, and Lewys, nine were living with Wendy’s mother. It was Wendy’s birthday the day she arrived at his home on Oxford Road, Llandrindod Wells, to collect their two children. When Wendy arrived, Elinor opened the door and said Lewys was finishing his tea. Wendy  waited in the hall and saw Lance who told her to get off his property.  Lance Williams then grabbed Wendy by her wrist and pushed her to the floor. He dragged his wife into the hallway and punched and kicked her in the head before stabbing her in the chest and hand with a kitchen knife in front of his 2 children, and then commited suicide by hanging himself at approximately 5:00 p.m. Lance Williams had stabbed himself in the chest before hanging himself from the attic hatch at his modern detached house with his dog’s choker and leash. Pc Lance Williams worked as a dog handler for Dyfed-Powys Police.
