Richard Wills disgusts Paul Bernardo and Russell Williams, forcing transfer from Kingston Pen

How bad does your behaviour have to be when you un-nerve one of Canada's most notorious killers?

Apparently something former Toronto police officer Richard Wills did has gotten him transferred from Kingston Penitentiary after he disgusted prison staff and his fellow inmates, including serial sex-killer Paul Bernardo, the Toronto Star reports.

The Star said that according to sources in the justice system, Wills was transferred to a maximum-security prison in British Columbia (likely Kent Institution about an hour's drive from Vancouver) last month.

Just what Wills did to upset people wasn't revealed.

Wills occupied a cell in the Kingston Pen's segregated range, along with Bernardo and former air force officer Russell Williams, who was sentenced in 2010 for the sex murders of two women while he was the base commander at CFB Trenton.

Bernardo was convicted in 1995 of kidnapping, raping, murdering and dismembering Ontario teenagers Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy.

His wife, Karla Homolka, was a participant in his crimes - even helping him drug and rape her younger sister, who died during the attack. She cut a deal for a 12-year sentence for manslaughter in the French and Mahaffy killings in return for testifying against Bernardo and now is free. Video of the murders shot by the couple shocked Bernardo's trial.

Wills, a 25-year veteran of the Toronto police, was found guilty in 2007 of killing his mistress Linda Mariani in 2002 because she wouldn't leave her husband for him. The woman's badly decomposed body was found in a garbage bin four months later behind a false wall in Wills' basement.

His appeal of the conviction was rejected last June, the Toronto Sun reported.

Prisoners in Kingston's segregation wing can't see one another but can talk with each other, the Star said.

During his trial, Wills frequently interrupted court proceedings by loudly passing gas and belching, among other things. At one point the trial had to be stopped when he reached into his pants and pulled out feces.

The Star said Wills also made a habit of urinating in the police car that took him to court. On days when his behaviour was particularly disruptive, the judge banished him from the courtroom to watch proceedings via video.

During his trial he fired five taxpayer-funded defence lawyers, aimed sexist barbs at the female judge and threatened to punch out the prosecutors.

A former prisoner at the jail where he was held during his trial said Wills was tormented by other inmates.
