David Williams and Pauline Williams Bradninch Paedophiles

David Williams and Pauline Williams, the Bradninch paedophiles, received a postcard purportedly from serial killers Fred and Rose West suggesting their joint involvement in a child molester sex ring.

A mysterious card was dispatched to the Williams couple, whose previous residence in Bradninch, Devon, is currently being excavated by police in search of a baby’s remains.

It was addressed to the “West Williams Menagerie” in 1990 and implies that the Wests were on a canal vacation.

David and Pauline Williams resided adjacent to the Wests in Gloucester throughout the 1990s.

David and Pauline Williams are believed to have been caring for the West children in Gloucester at the time the postcard was composed.

David Williams was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2015, while his wife Pauline received a 12-year sentence for subjecting 10 kids and boys to rape, sexual assault, and physical abuse.

Devon and Cornwall Police officers are doing an excavation at a home where they resided for around two years prior to their sentencing.

The postcard, released by the Crime Through Time Collection at the former Littledean Jail in Gloucestershire, is believed to have been authored by Rose West.

It contains the statement: “Colin asserts that the ‘birds’ are exceptionally amiable in this location.” Abundant animals,” signed “Mother and Father.”

Andy Jones, representing the museum, stated: “It indicates, through coded language and insinuation, that the Wests operated a child sex trafficking network and that the Williams were involved.”

“They talk about the David Williams and Pauline Williams menagerie – a menagerie means animals.”

He said there was also a “strong reference” to an orgy.

Rose West was convicted of 10 murders in November 1995 and is serving life, while Fred West hanged himself in prison in January 1995

He believes the Wests had left their children with David Williams and Pauline Williams, as the postcard refers to daughter Mae.

“It’s compelling evidence of a strong connection between the two families,” he said.

David Williams, who ran a pub in Gloucester where Fred West drank, boasted in court last year of his connections with the Wests.

David Williams and Pauline Williams are believed to have lived in the house for only a few years before they were sentenced last year

David Williams and Pauline Williams, who are both in their 50s, started abusing children in the late 1980s. One victim was seven years old.

They also ran the Victoria Inn in Exeter after moving to the city in the 1990s, where they went on to abuse a string of teenagers.

Fred West was awaiting trial on 12 murder charges when he hanged himself in prison in January 1995.

Rose West was convicted of 10 murders in November 1995 and is serving life.

The charges related to the deaths of young women over a 20-year period.
