A female killer who looked like a ‘crazed animal’ as she knifed her ‘sugar daddy’ lover to death ‘after he ran out of money’ has been jailed for 25 years.
Lauren Harris, 29, murdered 65-year-old grandfather Mark Wilcox at his seafront home in Colwyn Bay, North Wales, on November 20, 2023.
HOW IT HAPPENED
She had invited her friends David Webster, 43, and Thomas Whiteley, 33, over for a night of ‘drinking and drug-taking’ but the evening suddenly turned nasty with Harris and Webster attacking Mr Wilcox with a knife and a vodka bottle.
COURT HEARD
At Mold Crown Court yesterday, they were both handed life sentences for their attack, while the third defendant Whiteley was found not guilty.
But Harris did not seem to be fazed about the gravity of her situation and could be heard singing Shania Twain’s 1997 hit Man! I Feel Like A Woman as she was brought into the dock.
Webster told Harris ‘F***ing psychopathic bitch. I hope you f***ing burn in hell, Lauren’ as they were led from the dock.
Mr Wilcox entered a relationship with Harris because he wanted to ‘look after her in his retirement’ and he even moved her into his home in October last year while his estranged wife Marcia Wilcox was still living upstairs.

The court heard Mr Wilcox’s ‘generosity of spirit’ had moved him to support Harris as he sought to turn her life around but he started to struggle with his own finances.
Harris was ‘taking advantage’ of the father-of-two and repeatedly borrowed money from him, leading to him withdrawing £12,000 from his bank account in five months.
Marcia moved out in October 2023, because she claimed there was a ‘cycle of shouting and abuse’ when Harris moved in, according to The Sun.
