VIC:Carl didn't deserve bashing death: Roberta

GEELONG, Vic, Dec 10 AAP - The former wife of underworld figure Carl Williams said
he didn't deserve to be killed in the way he was.

Williams was bludgeoned to death in April in Barwon Prison where he was serving four
life sentences for murder.

"Carl didn't do anything wrong to anyone to be bludgeoned to death the way he was,"

Ms Williams said.

Giving her evidence via video, Ms Williams said her former husband had been happy to
be in the same unit in Barwon Prison as Matthew Johnson, the man who allegedly murdered
him.

Ms Williams also told the Geelong Magistrates' Court of an incident in which her then
husband shot at her.

When asked about the incident she had raised in her autobiography, she said they had
argued over another woman at a time in 2000 when she was pregnant with their child.

"He got a little bit annoyed and shot at my car," Ms Williams said.

Ms Williams, who was divorced from Carl Williams at the time of his death, is eight
months pregnant.

The committal hearing before Magistrate Rosemary Carlin is continuing.
