Sick killer in jail cell ‘joke’ about wife’s lost body parts
SADISTIC killer Mitchell Quy, who murdered his wife and then cut up her body, made a sick joke in prison about where he had buried some of her remains.
Quy murdered Lynsey, in 1998, before leading police on an 18-month search after claiming she had disappeared.
The jealous husband had, in fact, strangled the mum-of-two in her home in Birkdale, while their children slept upstairs, cut up her body and, with the help of his brother, Elliot, hid her remains around Southport.
In 2001, he was sentenced to life in prison and has twice been denied parole and therefore remains behind bars in a category A prison.
Psychiatric nurse Chris Kinealy, who worked at Altcourse Prison between 1998 and 2010, described Quy as “one of the many unpleasant psychopaths” he had met.
In a new book entitled Jail Stories: My Stretch In Altcourse, Part Two, the author revealed harrowing conversations he had with Quy behind bars.
In one particularly disturbing extract of the book, which The Visiter has chosen not to publish
in detail, the former nurse wrote how Quy made a sick joke about where he had hidden one of his wife’s body parts, then “laughed out loud and commented ‘Do you get it?”.
In the book, Chris told how Quy asked if he had watched him on TV.
He was so confident he could get away with the killing that he allowed documentary makers to capture his life as he called for his missing bride to return.
In a chilling clip, taken from a documentary filmed as Quy maintained his deception, the murderer responds to questions over whether he killed Lynsey.
He said: “I’m not going to answer that. I’m not going to answer that question because I don’t need to.”
He then brands the question “stupid” before the journalist again asks Quy if he was responsible, adding: “It’s not a stupid question, it’s a very serious question.”
Quy then simply replied, with a smile on his face: “Wait and find out.”
In an extract from the book, Chris writes: “He asked me eagerly. ‘Did you see me on television last night?’
“I replied, ‘No. I did not’. Even if I had seen it, I would always reply, ‘No.’
“He seemed very disappointed, he expected that everyone in the prison would now recognise his star status and he also expected to be treated as the celebrity that he felt he was.
“He was very upset that this did not happen.”
The nurse claimed that Quy on several occasions told him that “no-one has any sympathy for me”.
Chris wrote: “In this instance, he was correct – no-one did have any sympathy for him.”
Quy could be released from prison if a Parole Board deems him fit to be let back into society or transferred to an open prison.
However, up to now, he has twice been denied parole.
In a report last year detailing the Parole Board’s decision, risk factors associated with Quy included his vengeful thinking, controlling and manipulative behaviour, lack of victim awareness, and drug and alcohol use.
It revealed that Quy had been involved in drug use in prison, as well as having faced accusations of bullying other prisoners.
And, while the report states Quy has been undertaking “significant therapeutic work”, none of the professionals working with him supported his release or progression to open prison conditions.
The report stated: “Mr Quy’s recent conduct in custody had been mixed. He had had three proven adjudications for drugrelated matters.
“There had been reports of bullying of other prisoners and of verbal aggression (but no physical aggression) toward staff, although these reports had not resulted in any sanction against him.
“He had also had positive reports about his role within the prison wing community.”
Lynsey’s dad, Peter, said he hoped his daughter’s killer will never be released from prison and a petition to keep him behind bars has been signed more than 12,000 times.
Peter said: “There is a possibility that he will never get out, which is what we all hope, because what happens if he does get out?
“He apparently has these vengeful thoughts and the worry is who are these vengeful thoughts about?
“There is no remorse from him whatsoever.”
Peter said the Parole Board had told him it will be in contact early next year.
