Edwin L Woo

Killer gets life for 'horrific" Ipswich murder

• Many in the courtroom, including four of the jurors who sat on the seven-week trial and returned to see the sentencing, were wiping away tears as Edwin Woo showed the judge photos of his father taken over the course of several decades.I wish my kids could have known my dad, said Edwin Woo, who went on to say he also wishes they could have known the people he and his brother were before the crime. We were far different people than we are now, he said.I wish the court and jurors didnt have to experience seeing the evidentiary photos, said Edwin Woo, who, along with his brother Adam, chose to remain in the courtroom even as some of the most disturbing images were shown.Edwin Woo was working in finance. It just didnt feel right going back to that life, he said. I decided to help put some bad people away and enable (his own children) to live in innocence as long as they could.Impressed with the work of Ipswich and state police detectives and the district attorneys office, Edwin Woo felt the need to pay it forward, and traded in his briefcase and suits for the boots and handcuffs of a police officer.
