Relative of worst police rapist 'horrified' by ' malicious lies' told at trial
Serial police rapist David Carrick’s claim that he suffered childhood trauma has been blasted as a “malicious lie” by a relative.
The family member was horrified by the trial judge’s sentencing remarks to Carrick, 48 – based on what he had told a probation officer – that he had an upbringing “that must have affected your personality”.
Today the relative, who wishes to remain anonymous, shows us family photos of the lifer never seen before.
“David had a very happy childhood – it’s a malicious lie to say he didn’t. His parents both worked, they always had money, and the kids had everything they could want,” she said.
“He went horse riding, and skateboarding with friends. He had tae-kwondo classes. There were regular holidays in Spain. But he was a spoilt brat, the favourite. He was controlling, manipulative, narcissistic and always got his way.

It comes days after we revealed the torment of Carrick’s long-term partner and victim, Darcianne Da Silva – who bravely waived her legal anonymity to tell her story after he admitted 44 charges, including 24 rape counts, for crimes committed over 18 years.
He would strangle and hit her, controlling every part of her life including what she ate, when she slept, and when she could use her phone.
He even released his pet snakes from their enclosure to terrify her.
The relative was not surprised.

He had no remorse for anything and believed he was the centre of the universe.” She recalled how Carrick would bully his only sibling, a sister, incessantly. The relation claims the rapist became “very angry” when his parents filed for divorce.
“Around 14 he was withdrawn but he had angry outbursts over it – he wanted to move in with his dad,” she said. “But life did not go the way he wanted and he retaliated.”
His mum went on to have two more children with a new partner, who Carrick reviled. He wanted nothing to do with his half-sisters, describing one as a “little sket”.

He became an armed police officer in the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command. The rapist, who lived in Stevenage, Herts, told a probation officer of his “childhood trauma” as an explanation for his behaviour before he appeared at London’s Southwark Crown Court last month, pleading guilty to all charges.

She said: “I don’t think he’ll last that long – he needs control so if he wants to end the situation, he will.”
Asked how she felt after learning of Carrick’s horrific crimes, his relative replied: “There was no shock for me whatsoever because David has never been a nice person.
“But people deserve to know how and why it’s taken all these years to bring him to justice, and whoever is responsible needs to be held accountable.
“Ultimately, though, there is only one person responsible for all this and that’s David. He’s finally where he should be – it’s where he belongs.”
