Family ‘feel nothing’ for killer dad’s lover

THE family of murder victim Carol Jarvis have said they don’t know whether to hate the woman who helped cover up the killing.

Pastry heiress Rita Heyster, 57, who helped her married lover Harry Jarvis cover up the murder of his sickly wife, was yesterday jailed for four and a half years.

Mrs Jarvis’ son, Kevin, 25, and daughter Kimberley, 20, were in court to see their father’s mistress led to the cells.

Afterwards, Kevin said: “I don’t have any feelings towards her. I don’t know if I should.

“I don’t know whether I should hate her but I have no connection with this woman, so I don’t feel anything.”

He continued: “I feel more for her family, to be honest with you. They have lost a mum, albeit in a different way.”

Heyster was said to be infatuated with the killer – living in a shed in his garden for weeks.

She moved, briefly, into his home in Bathgate, West Lothian, where the body of Carol Jarvis, 47, was found hidden under the floor. Jarvis and Heyster were arrested by police in September 2009.
