Summary
John Morris' new book is an investigation into the Clydach murders in South Wales in 1999 in which Mandy Power, her mother and her two daughters were battered to death.
Dai Morris was tried twice for these cruel murders and finally convicted in 2006. Yet John Morris, a legal specialist, is certain that Dai Morris is innocent. No fingerprint evidence or DNA connected Morris to the crime; his conviction was based on the lack of a solid alibi, the presence of his gold chain in Power's house and the lies he initially told the police in explanation.
Morris has always maintained his innocence, and new DNA evidence has emerged, together with evidence of falsification of police documents which supports his claim. His case is currently being investigated by the Criminal Case Review Commission. This is a process which can take years to decide if a case should be referred to a court of appeal. Significantly, previous suspects for the murders include former police officers, one of whom was having a lesbian affair with the victim, Mandy Power.
In the period between 1980 and 2010, South Wales Police was notorious for getting false convictions based on fabricated evidence, and the Morris case could well be another instance of this. There is every possibility that the man vilified as a brutal killer across the British tabloid press in this much publicised case is actually the victim of a monumental miscarriage of justice. The author has corresponded with Morris, studied all available police files and court papers, discussed the case with key witnesses and experts and examined the evidence; he is convinced that Morris is both innocent and the victim of a conspiracy to convict him.

Shocking
As I've always believed. The person jailed purely fitted the crime and was never proved guilty. Its unnerving to know the police, who are there to protect us can ignore the facts to suit their result. Shocking

listen with caution
a very interesting listen and well worth the purchase.
The author is clearly convinced of the mans innocence and sets out to convince the listener,
for me this account forces you into that conclusion rather than let you arrive there based on an objective assessment. Clearly lots of errors in the investigation but makes a number of leaps at times.
Narrator absolutely murdered many of the Welsh place names which was a major irritation for me .

Brilliantly well presented
This is an excellent (yet infuriating) insight into the power that some people hold, and just how much they choose to abuse it. Telfer's commanding yet sensitive tone beautifully pairs with Morris' well-researched work.
Really recommended!

Having already watched the TV series about the murders, I was advised to read this book. I was not disappointed. Certainly makes you wonder.

Shocking and Disgraceful
South Wales Police and British justice hang your head in Shame! If you made this up people would say the story was ridiculous and to far fetched. The effort gone into the research is amazing! well done sir.
