WILLIAMS TRIAL: A WEEPING Randle Williams told jurors he still loved his wife Natalie despite catching her in sexual clinches with neighbours and discovering she had visited a wealth of internet porn sites.

Blaming her history of eating disorders and depression he said he was married to his wife "for better and for worse".

Williams described how he once caught Natalie half-naked on top of neighbour Guy Clayton and felt humiliated when on a separate occasion he found her about to climb into bed with another neighbour Brian Anderson.

He said: "I still loved her. Her actions weren't her fault.

"I blamed the tablets, the depression and the bulimia and the mixture of alcohol.

"Love is love, sex is something else." Williams denied being concerned about Natalie having an affair with Jolly's colleague Steven Edwards, even after receiving a mysterious phone call warning him about the fling.

But the businessman said he was troubled about some of the internet sites his wife was visiting.

"I was worried and disturbed at some of the sites she was visiting bestiality, pregnant women and bondage.

"She had also been on to escort sites," he said.

Williams also admitted setting-up the hotmail e-mail account West Country Lover in the name of George Brooks to send lewd

e-mails to his wife "as a joke".

In April 2002, just days before Natalie's death, he sent three

e-mails in a two-day period to Natalie's hotmail account X111 NAT, posing as a mystery businessman, offering her "outrageous sex with anyone and everything" and invites to bondage and group sex parties.

Williams said: "She realised West Country Lover was me she said to me about it.

"I was trying to let Natalie have her sexual fantasies.

"Natalie would never admit going on to those sort of adult pornography sites."

Williams denied using the

e-mail address to test his wife's fidelity.

Mark Evans QC, prosecuting, said Williams' jealousy had become a growing problem: "Steven Edwards was a problem, Mr Williams.

"You had gone to the extent of finding out his address and having it on your satellite navigation programme. On many occasions you tried to unsuccessfully access her e-mail account in order to find out what was going on because of your suspicions."

Talking about their relationship the businessman said everything was "tickety-boo" on April 22 but described the history of Natalie's drunken rages, infidelity and disappearing acts.

He said he waited before calling the police because of his wife's previous history of going missing but was suspicious why their pet dog Hardy had returned alone.

Asked by defence barrister Neil Ford QC if he was responsible for killing his wife Williams replied, "no I didn't".

Asked if he was responsible for dumping her body in the river at Greenland Mills, Bradford on Avon, he replied, "no, I wasn't".
