Texas millionaire Harold Landry due in court over wife’s murder
Posted by webmasterFeb 5
The 63 year-old is due appear before Worcester Magistrate’s Court on Friday.
He is accused of the murder of his wife, Lucy, 38, at their five-bedroom home in Besford, Worcs.
Mrs Landry was found by neighbours yards from the home the couple shared with their daughter, seven, and Mrs Landry’s 14-year-old son by a previous marriage.
She died in a neighbour’s arms at 11.45pm on Monday night after she fell into his garden hedge with a kitchen knife embedded in her side. The children are believed to have been in the house at the time.
Mr Landry, who has four adult children in America, recently returned to the house after a three week break, according to neighbours.
He made his fortune designing hydraulic cranes on oil rigs in Texas. He had a house in Mexico and offices in Brazil. He was believed to have met his wife on the internet in 2000 while she researched a degree in town planning.
The senior investigating officer in the case, Det Chief Insp Lee Davenport, said: “West Mercia Police have charged a 63-year-old man with the murder of 38-year-old Mrs Lucy Landry.
“We would like to reassure residents living in the area that this was an isolated incident and that we are not looking for anyone else in connection with Mrs Landry’s murder.”
An inquest into Mrs Landry’s death is expected to be opened and adjourned on Friday.

Why is the little girl in foster care that’s so sad. Doesn’t Mr. Landry have good friends or family he trust to take the poor little girl? Curious
Does anyone know the address that one can send a message to Mr Landry . It’s about his daughter. Thanks Robin
Wow! Anonymous Little Girl, I am afraid that you misunderstood me. I in no way meant any sarcasm in my question to you about what keeps you up at night. I just happened to notice the time of your post and thought it was late. I am sorry if I offended you in any way. I will be forever GRATEFUL to you for your sacrifices. From what I understand you were very instrumental in saving my brothers life!!!!! Although I have never met you, my parents have spoken VERY highly of you!!!! I regret that you had to be caught up in the middle of it all. I know that your life was also at risk!!!! Please accept my apology to you for making you think that I meant any ill will to you!!!
Yes you are right, it all needs to be put to sleep!!! I am afraid that I got a little caught up in all of the blogs being written about (both) of my brothers. I was angry at all of the conclusion jumping that people do!
As far as stories for television or whatever, my brother and his wife have been through a LOT of heartache and do NOT need to dredge up the past!!!!
PEACE!!!!!
Its all good, no harm done.
….Also: Anonymous Little Girl…..What keeps you up at night???? Thank you sooooo much for all YOU have sacrificed in this ugly event(?)……
I am not sure if that remark was sarcastic or not…want to elaborate?
I changed my mind I do not want you to elaborate but I will say this….Nothing keeps me up at night because the mind is a wondrous thing and can block unpleasant images. Also you are right I contributed nothing and sacrificed nothing in that horrible past event. Yeah I was there but I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. One day your family will find peace if you allow it. Yes it was a terrible incident but it is over in the past now. We can’t change the past but we can mold the future. Everything happens for a reason and whether we see the good in a bad incident or not, it is there. People will ALWAYS go back to a bad incident (drama tends to excite) so you will always be reminded of it whether you want to or not, you just need to come to peace with it yourself then when they do bring it up it won’t hurt as much. I am sure my philosophical ramblings have helped you none but that is ok….I just thought I would say peace. I have nothing to gain by arguing or upsetting you in anyway. But don’t assume that you and your family were the only ones affected by that incident. There was more than one person/family involved…….
Yes I am sure Mr. Price has a lot to say regarding this man, but at what cost????? It has been many years ago now. Please let the man live his life in peace. He deserves his privacy. He and his family have suffered much heartache in their life. Finally H. Landry got a LITTLE bit of what he deserves. I pray that all parties involved in this mans deeds find some kind of peace and comfort in knowing that this man will be behind bars if only for a short while.
A sister that just wants it to end…..
Do you know anyone that might know them? I am sure that Mr Price has a lot to say regarding this man and his sentence. Thanks for your reply
I really don't but I know that CBS 48 hours has been in contact with him….but he refused an interview (which I fully understand.)
Hey Sarah…I think they still live in that area but I have not been in contact with them since the last court date many years ago. I wish you luck in your search….I am sure Mr. Price has alot to add.
Can I highlight that we ARE NOT part of any programming that involves an interview with Harold Landry. The show is Behind Mansion Walls and we are looking for a comment from Chris Price who was shot at very close range.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Let It Go!!!!
