A BRAVE WIFE today faced two teenagers who cut her tragic husband more than 100 times with a samurai sword, asking: “How did it come to this?”
Robert Wilson, 53, was investigating young men loitering outside the Huddersfield plant when he was beaten to death in a gruesome murder.

Kiyran Earnshaw, 18, and Luke Gaukroger, 16, who was 15 at the time, passed the 20-inch blade between them during the attack while shouting “pass me the cane.”
Leeds Crown Court heard chilling audio recorded on Robert’s phone captured the teenager screaming, “Get his head off, I want to cut off his head, Kia, I want to cut off his head.”
The recording also captured the worker’s pleas as he begged the couple to stop during the “frenzied and senseless” 10-minute attack.
Both teens, who had prior violent crime convictions, admitted to murder and intentionally inflicted serious bodily injury on a colleague.
Earnshaw was incarcerated for life with a minimum of 22 years today, while Gaukroger was incarcerated for life with a minimum of 16 years and eight months.
A judge lifted an information restriction that allowed Gaukroger to be named this afternoon.
Robert’s heartbroken wife, Elaine, called his death “completely incomprehensible,” adding, “How the hell did we get to this and why?”
He also revealed that he received a letter from one of the defendants saying it was “the worst night of my life and ‘sorry’.
Elaine recounted in an emotional statement how she went into a “downward spiral” after learning of her husband’s horrific death.
Heartbreaking Tribute From Wife
Robert was a beloved husband, stepfather, brother, uncle, and friend.
He worked hard, had a great sense of humor, and was fun to be with. He enjoyed many things in life, loved all sports, gardening, long walks (especially in the Yorkshire Dales) and music that he was very knowledgeable about.
His passion for golf brought many friends into our lives and he loved being a member of the Dewsbury District Golf Club.
As a boss, his team greatly admired and respected him, not only as a manager, but also as a mentor and friend to everyone. It is a testament to Robert that both his golf club and company honor him with memorial days, awards, and trophies in his name.
It is a comfort to us to know that he will not be forgotten and that he left his mark in many ways. He was a caring man who took the time to help out at a local nursing home and chat with the residents, raising a smile on their faces. The whole world has been devastated by his death.
Without a doubt, the hardest part of losing Robert has been the way he lost his life. That he died such a horrible death has been hard for us to bear. We have tried to look for positives and we are grateful that only one life was taken, it could easily have been more.
We are very happy that these young people are now off our streets, as they obviously have no respect for anyone. Doing what they did is incomprehensible to any “normal” human being and they don’t deserve a place in society.
She said she had last seen Robert when she dropped him off at the train station to go to work the fateful night he died.
After his death, he was allowed to hold her hand, but was urged not to have an open casket funeral given the severity of his injuries.
And the grieving widow, who suffers from panic attacks, recounted her “anguish” at seeing her husband’s work in the garden flourish and how she will miss that her two children marry and have children.
In front of the brutes in court today, he said: “I want you to know that you have taken the life of a very respected, admired and good man.”
She continued, “I have had the privilege of being Robert’s wife, but I am devastated that my life has to go on without him.”
VILES RAPS OF PRISON
The court was told that Gaukroger wrote disgusting raps bragging about the brutal murder and saying “f ** k the po po” while in a detention center.
One had the lyrics: “Dip it in, let it drip, now my shoes are floating in a pool
“Burn my kicks, burn my Calvins later, burn that fool.
DISEASE RAPS
TEEN Gaukroger wrote weird graphics after being charged from his detention center.
One read:
Now I’m sitting in jail forgetting about y’all
Collars on the road, y’all think they’re bad but y’all
Not bad on its own. Come into my zone, I
Show you that I’m smoking. I will be handing out
Multiple touches, you won’t like me when I’m mad like
Hulk bro, I’ll show you my ultimate smoke blade
In and out, made him choke
Pupils dilate like he’s drinking coke
The last sound he made is a croak
I heard him fight for his last breath when
He gave up, said wag warns death that he was
Still stabbing the boy’s chest, laughing because my
Knife works best
Sammy made the Don hit the deck, capless.
He was cutting his neck, the man almost took the
Head. I can only imagine how much it bleeds
100 wounds on his body, that’s what Fed told me on My Donny. OML, I’m spitting the truth, no
Don’t tell lies in the booth.
“I was chilling with Ky, we were trying to bill him but we had to kill him,
“The great man tried so we had to kill him,
“We were wetting my man for a full 10 minutes.”
Another called No Remorse said: “Sitting on the dock, I try to show remorse, but I don’t feel it and I can’t even speak, I can’t speak to the judge like
sorry I was too screwed up, didn’t want to catch a body. ‘
“Honestly, I wouldn’t be serious, a fake apology just for being home.”
‘PASS ME THE SHANK’
Earnshaw mounted the attack after Robert asked them to leave the Thornton & Ross factory facility on January 16.
He pulled the blade from the bottom of his tracksuit and began to stab the defenseless father to death.
Horrible CCTV then showed the youngest defendant repeatedly yelling, “Pass me, pass me.”
The teenager could be seen approaching Robert before stabbing him 11 times, starting at his back before aiming the blows to the front.
When the sword was passed to Earnshaw, he grabbed it with both hands “like an ax” and threw it at the victim eight times in the side and back.
At one point, the twisted pair stopped to catch their breath and began rummaging through Robert’s pockets as he lay dying.
HORROR ATTACK
Prosecutor Peter Makepeace QC said: “Earnshaw and (the boy) together holding the sword and crouching on the upper body, they appear to make a concerted effort to cut off the head from the shoulders.”
“Then both of them jointly stab the upper body using their combined force.”
Closed circuit television showed Earnshaw chopping off the victim’s head 15 times before the second teenager tried to grab the gun and a fight ensued.
When the police arrived at the scene, one of the two was “using the sword with a saw motion in the area of the neck of the deceased as if trying to separate the head from the body.”
Another colleague who had approached the children while they were hiding in the parking lot was seriously injured while trying to help his friend.
Drug tests found that Earnshaw had taken a mixture of cocaine and a cheap tranquilizer that causes drowsiness and confusion.
An autopsy found that Robert died from “at least 100 stab wounds to the body,” primarily to the head, neck and upper body.
The court was told that the father of two enjoyed gardening, golfing and walking in the Yorkshire Dales.

Speaking after today’s sentencing, DCI Marc Bowes of the Homicide and Senior Investigation Team, Principal Investigative Officer in the case, said: “It is no exaggeration to say that the level of violence used by these men in the attacks was absolutely barbaric.
“They both acted in ways that many of us would have a hard time understanding and committed acts that were some of the worst that I and other members of my investigative team have witnessed in our police careers.
“We cannot begin to imagine the terrible impact that the murder of Mr. Wilson has had on his family. His courage and dignity in dealing with such a traumatic event has been immense.”
