crimesandcuriosities: “Things happened, he is no more. Sorry mum. xxxx.”On 7th July 2010, 61 year old Antoni Robinson (pictured bottom) was murdered following a petty family dispute. In a sickening, premeditated attack planned by his own daughters, Antoni was brutally stabbed to death as he slept at his home in Conwy, Wales.Ashleigh Robinson (19 / top left) and Holly Robinson (16 / top right) became infuriated with their father during an argument about claims to money, jewellery and property. After they failed to reach any sort of resolution, Ashleigh sent her mother a text message which read “I’m going to kill him!!!!” and she began to plot his murder along with sister Holly and their boyfriends, Gordon Harding (20 / middle left) and Sacha Roberts (19 / middle right). The sisters helped Harding and Roberts gain entry into their father’s home, and it was Harding in particular who entered Antoni’s bedroom and stabbed him 19 times using two different blades. While this heinous attack occurred, Holly was allegedly listening intently outside the bedroom door. The injuries sustained by Antoni were so severe that he passed away within minutes, as his jugular artery had been severed and he rapidly bled out.Following Antoni’s death, Ashleigh sent her mother, Joanne Barr, another text message which simply read: “Things happened, he is no more. Sorry mum. xxxx.” Joanne, who was already separated from Antoni, contacted the police and informed them that Gordon Harding had fatally stabbed Antoni due to his threats towards Ashleigh; a claim which turned out to be entirely fabricated. When officers arrived at the address, the four culprits were discovered to be comforting each other in the living room.Following court proceedings, Holly Robinson was given an 18 year minimum prison term, while sister Ashleigh received a 22 year minimum term for her involvement. Gordon Harding was also ordered to serve a minimum term of 22 years, and Sacha Roberts was handed down an imprisonment term of 20 years minimum. In addition, Joanne Barr received a four year prison sentence for perverting the course of justice after providing a false account of events to the authorities.Antoni has left behind two other heartbroken daughters, Claire and Amanda, who have openly expressed how much their lives have been affected by the vile actions of their own siblings. Both have suffered tremendous psychological harm as a result of their father’s death, including paranoia, insomnia and an overwhelming fear of knives. They have also both spoken about throwing out their own kitchen knives and living in fear of becoming their sisters’ next targets after they are released. Speaking after the sentencing, Amanda said she is frightened “they will come looking for me and my family and harm us, as they were willing to kill my father over four pieces of jewellery”. -- source link
