Fiance-killer Tracie gets married to her new man
Big day at four-star hotel, 21 years after brutal stabbing
MURDERER Tracie Andrews got married yesterday – 21 years after she knifed her first fiance to death.
Andrews, now 48 and known as Jenna Stephens, wed Phil Goldsworthy, 56, at a hotel in Redruth, Cornwall.
She was jailed for 14 years after being convicted of stabbing Lee Harvey more than 40 times in 1996.
Bus driver Lee, 25, was left to bleed to death in a country lane after Andrews slashed his throat.
Yet the murderer concocted a story that he had been killed by “a fat man with staring eyes” in a road rage attack.
She even appeared on television with bruises around her eyes and clutching the hand of Lee’s mother, Maureen, as she made an emotional appeal for help to catch the “fat” killer.
In fact, the mystery man never existed and detectives discovered Andrews had killed her fiancé with a Swiss Army-type penknife following an argument. Neigh- bours at the couple’s home in Alvechurch, Worcestershire, said they frequently heard shouting, and the jury was told the murderer had also violently attacked former boyfriends.
After being jailed for life, with a recommendation that she serve a minimum of 14 years, Andrews finally confessed to killing Lee, but insisted she had acted in self-defence.
The killer dyed her blonde hair black after leaving jail and met her bouncer husband when she got a job behind the bar of the pub where he worked.
Divorcee Phil knows about her past, but has not let that get in the way of their relationship. The couple wed at the four-star Penventon Park Hotel, which is described as a Georgian mansion offering “an unashamedly lavish wedding in sumptuous surrounds”. For £3,000plus, couples getting married can enjoy a three-course wedding breakfast for up to 250 guests, canapes, Pimm’s or sparkling wine and the honeymoon suite on the night.
Andrews was spotted having a hen party in June – dressed in a policewoman-style outfit with short skirt and suspenders.
Lee’s daughter Danielle, who lived with Andrews before she brutally murdered her father, said at the time: “I am absolutely disgusted. It has made me feel sick to my stomach, to be honest.”
After her release from Askham Grange Prison near York, Andrews moved to a southern coastal town – which cannot be named for legal reasons.
