Man named in hunt for triple killer

Police have named a man they are hunting after a young pop starlet, her mother and brother were found murdered in their family home.

Tattooed Pierre Williams, 32, is not to be approached, police said, after the bodies of Kesha Wizzart, 18, her mother Beverley Samuels, 36, and son, Fred, 13, were found dead at the house in Fallowfield Manchester.

Kesha, who appeared on Young Stars In Their Eyes in 2004, was found with serious head injuries along with her mother and brother at 7pm on Thursday at the red-brick council house in south Manchester.

Williams, according to neighbours, is understood to have been the mother's boyfriend.

The suspect has connections in Manchester and Birmingham and if anyone sees him they should call 999 immediately, said Greater Manchester Police (GMP), who issued a photo of the wanted man.

Williams is black, 5ft 8in tall, of medium build and has a tattoo on his right arm which says "cream" and tattoos on his chest which read "Whatever" "Down For" and "Bout it Bout".

Kesha is believed to have finished her A-levels at Parrs Wood High School in Didsbury only a few weeks ago.

Ms Samuels is believed to have worked as a nurse at Manchester Royal Infirmary and Fred is believed to have had learning difficulties.

Kesha, who dreamed of a singing career, was 15 when she sang on the children's version of the ITV talent show as US singer Toni Braxton.

Superintendent Paul Savill, from GMP's Metropolitan Division, said: "We need to urgently speak to Pierre Williams and would ask anyone who knows him or his whereabouts to get in touch with police. These murders are horrific and, as I am sure you can appreciate, the family and friends of the victim are devastated."
