Lindy Williams found guilty of murdering her partner George Gerbic

BREAKING: A jury has taken less than a day to find Lindy Williams, the woman accused of killing and dismembering her partner, guilty of murder.

A QUEENSLAND woman who dumped her de facto’s headless torso on the side of a road and set it alight has been found guilty of murder.

Lindy Yvonne Williams, 60, denied murdering George Gerbic on the Sunshine Coast in September 2013, but admitted dumping and setting fire to his torso.

A Brisbane Supreme Court jury rejected her account that she acted in self defence in killing Mr Gerbic during a fight at their home.

She has been sentenced to life in prison.

George Gerbic and accused murderer Lindy Williams.

Mr Gerbic’s torso was found burning on the side of Cedar Pocket Road near Gympie, around 80km from where he was murdered.

His head, hands and legs have not been found, nor has the cause of his death been established.

Williams pleaded guilty to interfering with his corpse at the start of the trial.

She dismembered Mr Gerbic’s body with a saw before covering up her actions for 10 months by telling friends and family he was overseas.
