Victim’s daughter urges ‘justice for my mum’

THE daughter of a woman who was brutally murdered has launched a petition in protest of her killer’s possible early release.

The petition has already been signed by more than 1,600 people, with support growing fast.

Mitchell Quy was jailed for life after admitting he killed his wife, before cutting up her body as her children slept in a room nearby.

Lynsey Wilson, who had two children, was missing for 18 months before police discovered her torso near a rollercoaster at Southport Pleasureland. Quy was to serve a minimum of 17 years, mean- ing he could be eligible for parole in the coming months.

The Change.org petition, set up by Lynsey’s now grown-up daughter Robin, who was just three years old when her mother was killed, reads: “Please help us! Mitchell Quy was sent- enced to life imprisonment for killing his wife Lynsey at their home in Southport.

“Please help us, this petition will help keep him behind bars.”

Quy kept up an 18-month facade, inviting journalists into his Birkdale home to talk about how she had “just upped and left”. In reality, he had killed her, dismembered the body and dumped it on wasteland after she threatened to divorce him.

Quy’s brother, Elliot, served four years in prison for helping to dismember and bury her body. Liam Lewis, Lynsey’s nephew, has thanked people for their support – as he urged as many people as possible to add their signatures.
