A WOMEN who survived two murder attempts from her husband, including a 4,000ft fall after he tampered with her parachute has married a Somerset skydiving enthusiast.

Victoria Cilliers, mother of two and author of I survived, 48, officially gave love one more chance and tied the knot with Simon Goodman, 53 – a former Royal Marine based in Somerset - at a register office this month.

According to the Daily Mail, Mr Goodman, formally served in the Royal Marines for 30 years, before retiring and becoming an apprentice paramedic for the Southwest Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust.

The couple began dating in 2018 after coincidentally meeting at the same Wiltshire parachute club where her former husband, Emile Cilliers had tried to murder Victoria by slashing apart her parachute rigging.

Mr Cilliers, an ex-army sergeant, was given a life sentence with a minimum term of 18 years after being convicted at a retrial of two attempted murder charges and a third count of damaging a gas fitting in their family home, recklessly endangering life.

He had “out of control” debts racked up by taking his lover on lavish holidays and was also in contact with prostitutes and was sleeping with an ex-wife.

Following the conviction, police and prosecutors described the 38-year-old as “very dangerous, coercive and manipulative”.

After the murder attempt on Easter Sunday in 2015, Victoria suffered extensive injuries including a broken pelvis and four fractures in her spine.

Victoria ended up taking to the stand and being a key witness in her ex-husband’s murder trial and her traumatic experience was eventually picked up by Channel four, in a popular three-part series titled “The Fall: Skydive Murder Plot”.

The ceremony itself was apparently kept low-key, described as “small” and “close-knit” with only their inner circle in attendance by the Mail.

In a 2020 interview with the Mail, Victoria claimed that her new partner, Simon, is “her rock” and that from the start he has known about her terrifying ordeal and been there to support her through it.
