She will poison me and make it look like suicide
TWISTED Katrina Walsh feared fellow murderer Sarah Williams would kill her by lacing her food with PRAWNS.
Walsh, who has a life-threatening allergy to the sea food, believed bunny boiler Williams would have made her death look like suicide.
She suspected Williams would have penned a note in which Walsh confessed to killing businesswoman Sadie Hartley.
The bizarre theory was revealed in letters Walsh, 56, sent to her ex-husband while on remand over the murder of Sadie, who was stabbed more than 40 times by love rival Williams.
Walsh – who carries an EpiPen injection kit to combat the effects of allergic reaction – claimed: “All she (Williams) needed to do would be to contaminate something I ate with prawns and remove my EpiPens.
“Then add a ‘suicide’ note confessing & she’d maybe have got away with this.”
And Walsh revealed she felt utter relief when police arrested her and Williams – because it stopped her evil pal pulling off the plot to kill her.
She wrote: “I do believe the speed with which they picked her up saved my life.”
The jail letters are revealed after Walsh and Williams were jailed for life for a murder which shocked Britain.
APPROACHED
The Sunday Mirror – which has obtained the letters exclusively – can also reveal that Walsh’s ex- husband Kevin was also approached by Williams. He is a keen archer and believes Williams wanted to enlist his help in killing Sadie, 60. Walsh’s jail letters also reveal she: Believed Williams was drugging her for months in the run-up to the crime.
Remains convinced Williams had another person working alongside her.
Was initially sure she would go free by convincing the jury of her innocence.

But Walsh fails to show any remorse for innocent Sadie, a mother of two.
During one note she heartlessly told Kevin, 58: “Sorry to mess your life up. Hope you can see the lighter side of it.”
And in another she sought to shift the blame to “pyscho” Williams.
Walsh wrote: “I’ve always been too trusting and don’t spot stuff or process stuff as well as I should.
“All these head injuries I think. I never thought it could lead to something like this. I didn’t think I was vulnerable – but psycho probably had me pegged for this for a long time.”
The letters also detail Walsh’s mundane life in jail as she awaited trial.
She wrote about the weather, how she was learning to knit, drawing and going to the gym – where staff jokily nicknamed her “Speedy” due to her slow movement.
The horseriding instructor also wrote about her steed Zephyr, worrying where he would be stabled and hoping her clients would stick with her when she was out.
She also praised the prison food saying she was addicted to the fruit crumble and was overjoyed at wi n n i ng a “love ly smelling” bottle of shower gel in a quiz. She even whined about missing TV’s Game of Thrones. Our revelations today show the true evil side to the woman who helped Williams, 35, brutally kill Sadie at her home in Helmshore, Lancs, seven months ago. The victim was paralysed on her doorstep with a 500,000-volt stun gun before being knifed repeatedly in an “orgy of violence”. Williams carried out the attack in a bid to win back her former lover – Sadie’s partner Ian Johnston.
But central to the plot was the help of Walsh, who detailed the 18-month plot to commit a “perfect murder” in a diary that cops used to nail the pair.
After being arrested Walsh sent more than 20 letters while on remand in A1 wing at New Hall Prison, Wakefield. The most recent was penned two weeks ago.
In her first days on remand she bragged of being out in no time.
She wrote: “My solicitor cautiously, don’t hold me to this, is hoping to get to assisting an offender, which I did to (sic), unwillingly before and under duress, after, so there’s little point in fighting that.
“The seriousness of the crime means 2-3 years so if I’m lucky could be out in 2017 with good behaviour etc.”
But later, Walsh grew increasingly troubled and in one letter laid bear her fears, writing: “I think I need regular sessions to keep a lid on the panic.” She repeatedly claimed she was “naive” and “gullible” and had been used as a “suitable patsy” by Williams.
Convinced evidence would clear her, she wrote: “It will show how she (Williams) had been plotting something or maybe multiple things for a long time, how she put endless effort into framing someone admittedly gullible and a bit away with dragons (not fairies) like me.

HEARTLESS
“The scheming vicious heartless slime that she is. I made it clear years ago I wouldn’t help her in anything illegal.”
While fearing Williams planned to poison her, Walsh also believed her evil pal would track her down and kill her if the pair were somehow acquitted.
Williams is locked up in Styal prison, Cheshire.
