Slain gangland boss Carl Williams' widow reveals he SHOT at her when she was seven months pregnant - and describes the moment one of his mistresses showed up at his father's funeral

• e-mail

Carl Williams' ex-wife has described the notorious underworld gang leader as 'soft and gentle,' despite the fact he fired shots at her when she was seven months pregnant. 

Roberta Williams, 47, told Sunday Night she confronted her husband in 2001 after she discovered one of his many affairs and as she left to get into her car he turned his gun on her.

'That took me aback because Carl wasn't like that towards me,' the Melbourne mother said. 'He was never aggressive in any shape or form'.

Williams, 39, was bludgeoned to death by fellow Barwon Prison inmate Matthew Johnson in 2010 and just last month the family also buried his father George, 69.

Following the emotional funeral service at St Therese Parish in Essendon on May 23, Ms Williams screamed at a woman she believed was Carl's former mistress, calling her a 'trashy ho' and threatening to 'punch her in the head'.

Ms Williams said although her ex-husband was convicted of four murders, she now believes there were more.

'Maybe two,' she told Sunday Night. 'You know, names have come up on his computer.'

However, at the time, Ms Williams was more concerned with his affairs.  

'I didn't look at the criminal side of it,' she told the program. 

A letter unearthed from Williams' prison computer reveals he believed his ex-wife was aware of all his indiscretions, but chose to ignore it as he had a 'truckload of money'.

After he was sentenced to 35 years prison in May 2007 Williams would receive emails and letters from various women, but only ever replied to one - a hairdresser from the western suburbs.

Stacey, 20, visited Williams three times a week and the pair were engaged to be married, before he began accusing her of seeing other men.

'Last thing I wanted to think was that you were a lying s***,' he wrote in a letter on his prison computer addressed to Stacey. 

Williams' 15-year-old daughter Dhakota also spoke on Sunday's program, claiming he murdered for his family and would have no regrets about masterminding the gangland killings. 

The teenager said she acknowledged her father's actions, including planning the gangland war which killed 36 criminal figures between 1998 and 2010, but said that was not how she chose to remember him.

'We know our dad as our dad, not what he's described as in the newspapers ... so we know him as fun and loving and caring for us, and always made us happy,' Dhakota (pictured) said

'We know our dad as our dad, not what he's described as in the newspapers ... so we know him as fun and loving and caring for us, and always made us happy,' she said while holding her step-sister Breanne's hand.

'If you spoke to him and got to know him, you'd think he's not that sort of person, like, and you can tell he did it for his family 'cause he was all for us, all for us family.'

'It was just normal for me, that's all I really knew.'

Williams was convicted of planning the murders of Jason Moran, Mark Moran, Lewis Moran and Michael Marshall. The gangland leader was sentenced to life in prison.

He was murdered by fellow prisoner Matthew Johnson in 2010 at the age of 39.

Dhakota's first interview is featured on Channel Seven's Sunday Night program

'If you spoke to him and got to know him, you'd think he's not that sort of person, like, and you can tell he did it for his family 'cause he was all for us, all for us family' 

'It was just normal for me, that's all I really knew,' she told Sunday Night

Dhakota said growing up under her father's spotlight had been difficult and she wanted people to get to know her and her family for who they 'actually are.'

It comes as several letters written by Williams to his daughter while in prison are released.

Williams tells Dhakota how much he loves her and is proud of her and that he could talk to her all the time.

He signs each of his letters with 'lots and lots of love always and forever, your loving father'.  

In 2015, Dhakota, Carl's only daughter, won a sum of compensation from the Victorian government over the preventable murder of her father in Barwon's maximum-security Acacia unit.

It is believed to be around $250,000 and will be released to the teenager once she reaches 18.

Patriarch of the Williams crime family, Carl's father George, died in May from a heart attack in his Melbourne home.

Williams and his father George turned over a minimum of $500,000 a year when they ran drugs together from late 2002 to mid-2004, a Melbourne court heard at the time.

This came to an abrupt end when Carl was sentenced to seven years for drug trafficking in 2004. 

While incarcerated, he pleaded guilty to the murders of underworld figures Jason Moran, Lewis Moran, Mark Mallia, Michael Marshall and conspiracy to kill Mario Condello. 

His father George joined him in prison after he was sentenced in November 2007 to four-and-a-half years jail for trafficking amphetamines. 

While they were incarcerated, his mother Barbara, George's wife, died after overdosing on sleeping pills in 2008.
