Vic: Williams to be buried in gold coffin

A gold coffin containing the body of CARL WILLIAMS has arrived at the Melbourne church
where the slain gangland figure will be farewelled.

A large police presence is also at St Therese's Catholic Church in Essendon .. where
the funeral for WILLIAMS will get underway from 11.30am (AEST).

About a dozen people have arrived under grey skies to mourn WILLIAMS .. who was a key
figure in Melbourne's gangland wars.

He was bashed to death with the stem of an exercise bike in his maximum-security unit
at Barwon Prison .. near Geelong .. last week.

His estranged wife ROBERTA is expected to lead the eulogies .. and some of her children
will also speak.
