Eight blows in the back of
the head.
And one in the front, which fractured the skull.
What kind of person does that?
It's a bit thinner than a scaffold bar,
about two foot long.
He's obviously coming here, come by there.
I was kneeling down, tuning a TV in.
He started hitting me across the head for no
reason at all.
And I was just blacking out.
And when I managed to turn around,
I remember it in the front,
I remember blood running down my face.
I've jumped out the window onto the bottom lawn,
and, obviously, made me escape
through the gate and down the road.
If I would've stayed in that flat,
I would be a dead man.
He was intending to kill me.
100%.
Why was he trying to kill you?
-That's exactly what David Morris does.
He picks up tools and hits people with them.
That's why that family tragically lost
their lives.
This was, and still is,
the biggest murder inquiry ever seen in
South Wales.
After months of awful frustrating work,
police have now arrested the 38 year old man
on suspicion of murder.
For four days and they released
the bastard.
You fucking bastard!
Police have already searched
woodland near the village of Craig Cefn Parc
in the flat where David Morris was
arrested on Tuesday.
Today, a second house in Swansea was also
targeted and a number of items
removed from inside.
Swansea magistrates also granted detectives
a 28 hour extension to continue questioning
David Morris.
The latest deadline runs out in
4 and a half hours.
This interview is being
tape recorded and video recorded.
And the light is illuminated.
And the room is being monitored.
I am Detective Sergeant 430, Phil Reese.
Also present is.
Uh David Hutchison,
Solicitor.
I'll just say to you again.
And David, you don't have to say anything,
but it may harm your defense if
you do not mention.
-Mr. -David Hutchison was
the defense lawyer.
Do you understand that?
Yes.
He was the senior solicitor,
my boss.
I was a trainee solicitor.
And it was the first thing that
I was involved in.
So it was massive, particularly for a trainee.
-Mr. -Hutchison is here to
represent you,
you're entitled to free and independent legal.
The one question that people
have always asked me is,
"Who do you think did it?"
And what do you say?
-I tell them who I think did it.
I spent every working day with him.
I never once thought that this guy
was lying to me,
or was capable of those murders.
But David Morris was not liked by
South Wales Police.
There had been a previous case involving
a Mr. Wassell.
He was actually found "not guilty" by a jury.
And the police felt that David Morris had
got away with it.
David Morris had
18 months to prepare for this interview.
And as the evidence came forward,
he lied, and lied, and lied again.
I think I'll move on to
Saturday, the 26th of June.
Okay?
On the camera now, what would you say were
your movements that day?
Talk me through it again.
What did you do through the day
and through the evening?
Uh.
He said that
he'd been out that afternoon,
having some drinks, watching the rugby.
And during the course of that afternoon,
he had a round with his partner, Mandy Jewell.
When she went home with her daughter,
he remained in the pub drinking.
Round about half past 11,
Morris then leaves the pub.
And he decided to walk to his parents' house,
some five miles away.
But he decided halfway through the walk,
"I'm not gonna go to my parents' house."
"I'm now gonna return home."
And he said he got home about half past four in
the morning.
Now, Mandy Jewell,
she said, she's woken up by the door opening
and the dogs didn't bark.
So she assumed it was David Morris coming in,
but there's just no time he came home.
So in the end he had no alibi.
-No.
The following morning after the murders,
Janice Williams, who used to live next door
to Morris, came to the police station.
And she said that after Mandy Jewell left
the pub,
she remained in the pub drinking with Morris.
And that he'd been taken amphetamine.
You could tell by
his eyes,
if he's been taking anything.
You can tell straight away.
And what did the look in
his eyes tell you?
-His eyes were wild.
And during
the course of the conversation,
Mandy Power's name came up.
He Said, "She's an evil cow."
"She's horrible."
"She's not capable of looking after her children
or her mother."
And you know, he was slacking her off big time.
And he left.
No, Janice Williams
didn't like David Morris.
And she always had a suspicions that
he was responsible.
But this one thing about having suspicions,
what you need is evidence.
And what we needed was the link from the scene to
David Morris.
I was the first
forensic scientist at Kelvin Road.
It was a very chaotic crime scene.
There was a lot of smoke damage,
heat damage.
There was soot over everything, water damage.
There were occasions where we'd hoped
to get results, which we didn't get results.
The most significant finding was the gold chain.
It was lying in a pool of Mandy's blood
at the foot of Doris' bed,
where she'd been beaten to death.
This is
a photograph taken by a scenes of crime officer
by Doris Dawson's bed on the floor.
If you look at that photograph,
you'll see a gold chain on the floor,
have a look on that.
They had this chain in
the middle of a murder scene.
The police were intent then on proving that
the chain was David Morris's.
It seems to me
that chain, in fact, had been pulled off
and put up.
What sort of struggle was going on?
We were quite keen to see if
we could find any DNA that was from
the original owner of the chain.
But because it was so heavily contaminated with
Mandy's blood, we weren't able to get any
stranger profile from it.
But the fact that the clasp was missing was
very significant.
Also, I'm gonna show you
a photograph of you.
Just to prove identity, I'm showing that
photograph now.
Yeah.
Okay.
On that photograph, you can clearly see
you wearing that chain.
We've got a photograph recovered in
Morris' home of him with Mandy Jewell,
wearing a chain.
And you can see in the photograph,
the chain has been broken.
At some stage, a very cheap repair has been
put on it.
-The chain that we've recovered from
9 Kelvin road, David, is that chain yours?
-No, it's not my chain.
No, I swear to God,
it's not my chain.
On my children's lives, that's not my chain, no.
No.
Your chain,
was it ever left at
Mandy Power's house?
-Never, never left at Mandy Power's.
No.
You sure about that?
-I am positive.
My chain's never been left at Mandy Power's.
Over three days of
interview, he was asked repeatedly about
this chain.
He said that chain is not,
you shown him the chain, "That's not my chain."
"I had my chain on that night."
"I was wearing it that night."
And in fact, "I lost it two weeks later on
a building site."
I was carrying breeze blocks
and slabs.
When the weight went on it and it just
snapped it.
It snapped the back of the link.
Carried it in my pocket,
I don't think it was about
two days before I realized
it was missing.
We went back to
that building site and we lifted the patio,
but there was no chain there.
But David Marsh used to work for a guy called
Eric Williams.
Now Eric Williams was a very interesting
individual.
He was Morris' cousin.
And a statement was taken from him.
One of the first things that Eric tells us
that you said to him, okay?
You asked him, "Can I borrow some money?"
"Please, Sir, don't go ask me where my chain is."
"I need to get a new one."
What could you tell me about that then?
-Umm.
Detectives hunting
the Clydach murderer have revealed
a gold chain found at the murder scene
that was probably torn from the killer's neck in
a violent struggle.
Here's our chief reporter, Penny Roberts.
Eric took me to sell them
this car to go down and get a chain.
Why?
Because I didn't wanna
be seen without my chain.
Because it, frankly,
I haven't got the best reputation.
Let me clarify.
When I lost me chain, I panicked.
So Eric offered to get me chain.
And I said that that was the same chain as
the original one.
When the chain became
an issue then,
why didn't you come and tell us then?
-Um, well, to be honest,
the South Wales Police haven't got
the best record for catching the right people
with it.
As far as I'm concerned,
I haven't done nothing wrong.
So it's like.
We weren't telling lies that were covering up
for murder.
Do you know?
We were telling lies that was
giving us peace of mind.
Is there anything that
you need to say that you omitted to say so far?
No, that's the last of it.
Alright, going with
Eric says, that weeks after
this first disclosure to him, by you,
regarding mention of the chain,
you said to him, "I knew that made a good Mandy."
"In fact, I was screwing her Friday."
-Friday?
I didn't say Friday.
What sort of
conversation did you have then?
-I told Eric that I had sex with Mandy.
Yeah.
-Um.
You've just disclosed
to me, something totally new.
This, David, is a very important issue.
Eric's added that you said,
"My chain is still with Mandy."
I didn't say that at all.
What I said to Eric is exactly,
it looks exactly the same as my chain.
And I didn't say it was my chain at all.
You've got that totally bloody wrong.
Totally wrong.
That's the God's honest truth,
I didn't say nothing to him.
The fact that you were
digging holes there for yourself is
the fact that the chain in this photograph
is your chain.
That's why you've dug yourself a hole.
It's not my chain.
Why is Eric Williams
providing us a statement that David Morris
told me two days after the murders,
that he had sex with Mandy Power on Friday.
And the fact that he's left his chain
at that scene.
What have you gotta say about that, David?
-No, totally wrong.
No, he's wrong.
He's totally wrong.
That's why you didn't
come in til four o'clock that night.
'Cause you were at Mandy Power's house,
9 Kelvin Road, Saturday night.
That is the truth, David.
-No, it's not.
And the lies
and deceit that you've made over
this last year or so is because
that chain of yours was left at Mandy's house
that night and you didn't realize.
-No.
Definitely not.
No.
But that concludes
this interview, Dave.
Is there anything you wish to add?
Or clarifying with regards to what was just said?
We were just stupid.
That's all we were, we were stupid.
We were scared and we were stupid.
Okay.
The time is now 9:38:7.
And I'm stopping the recording.
South Wales police,
have tonight, charged a 38 year old man
with the Clydach murders.
David Morris, a scrap metal dealer from Swansea
is accused of murdering Mandy Power.
When he was charged with
the homicides, he was allowed one phone call.
And he rang Eric Williams.
And he said,
in front of everybody in the custody suite,
"Eric, I'll never forgive you for what
you've just done."
And put the phone down.
A patrol car led the convoy
that brought David Morris to the court from
Morriston Police Station where he'd been held
overnight since the decision to charge him with
four counts of murder yesterday afternoon.
Shortly afterwards, members of his family arrive
for the hearing.
-I remember seeing him,
he hadn't slept for a week.
He just kept saying, it'd be all right.
It'd be okay.
It'd be okay.
It'd be okay.
And we were all thinking it's not gonna be okay.
And my heart just broke.
Just seeing him, my heart just broke.
We just all cried.
We just cried.
During the three hour long
hearing,
a crowd had gathered behind the barriers
to watch him being driven away to Swansea prison,
where he'll be held until his next
court appearance.
We still couldn't believe
there was gonna be an actual trial.
Because they never had any evidence
to place my brother at the scene.
Nothing made sense.
Those first three investigations
into the chain came back negative.
They could not link that chain to David Morris
and David always denied that it was his chain.
They sent it away another time.
We send the chain to
a metal expert to try and prove
it's been stretched or not.
So the metal guy said, "I cannot tell you if
it's been stretched or not,
but are you aware that in the links of this chain
is brick dust?"
And also he said, "On the chain is some
green paint."
So armed with this information
we went back to Morris' house.
And in the kitchen, under three layers of paint,
was the same green paint.
So then, before the trial was due to start,
David Morris admitted it was
his chain found at the murder scene.
He then said that, "I saw Mandy on the Friday",
the day before the murders,
and we had sex in her house and my chain
must have dropped out of my pocket and stayed at
the scene.
Why did Dai lie about
the gold chain being his to the police?
-What can I say?
He was scared.
And I can understand him being scared.
If Mandy Jewell had found out about
the relationship with Mandy Power,
she'd have fucking killed him.
That she would've fucking killed him.
And there's no other way to put that.
So he's obviously not gonna let it get out
that he was seeing her best friend.
He wasn't a well liked individual.
He had some serious previous convictions.
And people do strange things when they ask it.
There's no way on
this earth she'd ever have an affair with
that man.
Which version of what Morris says,
do they want to believe?
Why was he changing his story every five,
10 minutes.
He's a killer.
He's a murderer.
-Good evening.
The most eagerly awaited murder trial in years
has finally begun.
Just before 10 o'clock
this morning,
the van bringing David Morris the short distance
from Swansea Prison swept into
the court precincts.
Inside, the 39 year old scrap metal merchant
from Craig Cefn Parc.
He denies all the charges against him.
It was a huge trial.
It was in Swansea Crown Court.
Not the modern courthouse but
the old fashioned courtroom over the road.
It was very Dickensian.
There were loads of journalists,
loads of cameramen waiting for
the various actors in this trial.
The family of his alleged victims had
arrived shortly before in two people carriers.
In the packed public gallery, too,
were the defendant's fathers, sister,
and daughters.
I think people wanted to know about it because
Clydachs a little village.
And the fact that three generations of
one family were battered to death.
And they wanted to know why.
And I'm not sure we know the answer now.
Don't think we do, do we?
This is the first proper day of the first trial.
And you know, I've put here, 10:30,
David Morris comes in and then
Patrick Harrington QC,
he starts his opening speech.
Patrick Harrington is a great barrister.
He's from Ebbw Vale in the valleys.
He's very theatrical.
Patrick Harrington is the sort of barrister
that if you are accused of murder,
you'd want him on your team.
But at David Morris's trial,
he was the QC for the prosecution.
-Right.
This is a case where four victims
of one family were bludgeoned to death
by the defendant, David Morris.
When you have heard all of this evidence,
it will be your conclusion that
the killer had a number of attributes
and the capacity for extreme rage and violence.
This was not merely murder,
this was a massacre.
The prosecution put the case against
David Morris on several bases.
Firstly, that he lied about the ownership of
the chain and he continued to lie,
even swearing on his children's life,
that that was not his chain.
As the murder
investigation intensified,
the chain was the focus of huge publicity.
Detectives called a news conference in
the hope of getting new leads.
The original phrase,
which had been used by the press was,
"Find the owner of the chain and you find
the murderer."
And that's what we did.
Builder Eric Williams said,
David Morris asked him to buy
an identical chain to show the police.
He wasn't
a normal member of the public.
He was a flawed member of the public
and someone with a criminal record.
In 1987, he was jailed for
conspiracy to rob and robbery.
He was given a four year sentence.
He had previous
convictions for serious violence and took drugs.
He was a person with
a capacity for explosive rage
and extreme violence.
At a local pub, on the night of the killing,
Mr. Morris had been heard criticizing
Mandy Power.
That was the calm before the storm,
the prosecution claim.
Patrick Harrington told the call that
the defendant killed each of them because
Mandy Power had rejected his sexual advances.
When crimes of this sort
are committed,
there is only one living person who can tell you
what happened.
And he is not going to tell you.
The crime scene video was
a very effective tool for the prosecution
and it showed the jury from the start,
the horror of the scene that they were gonna
have to confront in the following weeks.
He had
an argument with Mandy Power when she repelled
his sexual advances.
She made it clear that she wanted nothing to do
with men.
The greatest violence was shown to all victims.
It was an orgy of savagery.
It would not take long for a powerful man
to quell an invalid, two children, and one woman.
Prosecutor,
Patrick Harrington QC warned the jury that
the police video contained scenes that were bound
to be distressing.
Harrowing images of the battered bodies of
Mandy Power and her two little girls.
Showing their terrible injuries in
graphic detail.
Halfway through the screening,
a young male juror collapsed and he was taken
to Swansea Singleton Hospital by ambulance.
I do remember putting
my head between my knees because
I almost passed out.
The video was taken after
the fire officers had brought the bodies
out of the house.
It's not like
when you watch a murder mystery on the TV,
you know that the people in
the video are not dead, they're alive,
but these are real people.
It was intense.
Obviously the court had to see
this video and the jurors had to see this video.
-Did they?
They didn't need to see the video.
Because it was so prejudicial.
It didn't matter who was the defendant,
these images,
they didn't need to see them.
Mr. Patrick Harrington's opening was
far more about theatricals and drama
rather than substance.
That appeared to be his style.
But the defense case was based on
the forensics at the scene.
And the one important thing to establish here was
the sequence of deaths.
The fiberglass pole that
we found on the landing was in fact,
the weapon that killed all four of them.
And we found blood on the pole that matched
that of Katie, Emily, and Mandy.
But because there was no detectable level
of blood standing from Doris,
the most logical explanation is that Doris was
the first to die.
Any blood from Doris could have been wiped off by
the offender.
And then after that,
the person could have waited in the house until
the family came home.
This puts the killer in
Doris's bedroom first,
not downstairs having an argument with Mandy over
a sexual encounter.
It's Mandy he would've killed or attacked
if he was being refused sex.
It just doesn't fit with David Morris being
the killer.
To be a good defense lawyer,
you've got to put enough doubt before a jury.
And the defense case was that
the murders were probably committed
by Alison Lewis.
A vibrator was found inside
Mandy when her body was recovered.
We took some DNA swabs from
the smeary staining on the vibrator and also from
the inner inner thigh of Mandy.
And the DNA was a mixture of material from
Mandy and also some which could be from
Alison Lewis.
Alison Lewis's DNA was found on
the inside of Mandy's thighs.
There's no timeframe.
We don't know when that DNA was left.
But David Morris's DNA is not on her thighs.
There is stronger evidence against somebody else
than you have against David Morris.
Members of the jury, there's your doubt.
Alison Lewis is
a key prosecution witness.
And for three hours today, she stood before
a packed courtroom and told the jury about
her background and her lesbian lifestyle.
The mother of twin girls had battled with
her sexuality until she took up women's rugby.
She realized then she was gay,
but always hid her secret from her
Police Sergeant husband.
The defense strategy was always that
Dai Morris didn't commit the murders.
That the finger of suspicion was pointed
firmly at Alison Lewis.
And to that end, they brought
a number of defense witnesses.
One of whom was a martial arts expert.
And he got the fiberglass pole
that had been used with such devastating force
and said it could be used in a martial arts way.
And the significance of that is that
Alison Lewis was a second Dan in karate.
Under cross examination by the defense,
Alison Lewis admitted that shortly after
the murders,
she'd begun an affair with an old girlfriend
and was questioned in detail about her
martial arts expertise.
She said she was a Black Belt British Champion
and was trained to use a karate bow,
a long wooden pole.
She was shown the murder weapon and said
the pole she used was lighter.
It was all smoke and mirrors.
Let's say this about who.
How can we twist the evidence to make
it look like her?
And I was just in awe of it all.
Disgusted, really.
The lesbian lover of
murdered mother, Mandy Power has been
telling Swansea Crown Court of
their passionate affair.
Former Policewoman Alison Lewis.
And I think I was in
the witness box for four days.
The jury of her love for
the divorcee.
They brought everything up.
Every personal relationship,
sexual things.
It was completely, I was on trial,
not David Morris.
Everything I said, everything I did,
how I behaved.
The jury heard how she tried
to commit suicide because she was so
grief stricken.
She was then admitted to a psychiatric hospital.
A year later, she was.
My relationship with Mandy.
It tore me to shreds.
Everything that me and Mandy felt for each other
was used, now, against me.
The film "Armageddon" was
a film that Mandy Power and Alison Lewis loved
to watch together.
But the theme song, which is a song by Aerosmith,
"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing,"
had become their song.
There was evidence at the scene that there were
a number of videos downstairs in the living room.
And there was clear evidence that
the killer was handling them.
But the only video that was missing was
this "Armageddon" video.
And the person who gave us that evidence was
a young 16 year old by the name of Louise Pugh.
Louise Pugh borrowed the "Armageddon" video.
But she had posted it back that night.
Why has the "Armageddon" video
got to be back at Mandy's house?
She said "Me and Alison want to
watch it if she comes down tonight."
Tell me about that night then.
I went in my house.
I got my jacket and the video.
Closed the door and I went round to Mandy's.
I wrote a note.
And I put the note in the sleeve of the video.
Walked down around to Mandy's through front.
The door was locked.
So I knocked it, but obviously,
I knew nobody was there,
I just thought Doris would've shouted.
So I posted the video through.
A little while afterwards,
another police officer came to see me.
He asked me again about the "Armageddon" video.
If the cassette was in the box.
I knew it was because I checked.
And he told me that
the actual cassette
from inside the video box was found
in Alison's home.
So why would that be there?
If I had posted it through the Saturday?
How did she get it?
Why has it taken 'til today
to tell us about the note and video going
to Mandy's house on Saturday night?
I wanted to retrace my steps
and make sure I was saying the truth.
And not just lying.
Have you lied at all to me
or anybody else in the inquiry?
No.
What you told me this morning.
Louise Pugh was important in
so far as the evidence that she gave surrounding
this "Armageddon" video.
Because she was adamant that she'd returned
it to Mandy that night.
Could all this have happened on
another Saturday?
No.
I'm not changing what I said for no-one.
-We called her as a defense witness and she went
into the box.
And then Mr. Patrick Harrington cross examined
her.
-She gave evidence about the presence or absence
of the film "Armageddon,"
but the evidence she gave was not supported by
any other source.
And she was reluctant to acknowledge that
she might have been wrong, which she plainly was.
-I knew that I posted it on the 26th.
I was not gonna back down.
I was done with them walking all over me.
Louise, at the time was
a very vulnerable young girl.
And Patrick Harrington was pushing her on
inconsistencies in her evidence.
And it was at that point that she lost it.
And she swore at Pat Harrington and stormed outta
the witness box in front of the jury.
And it destroyed for the defense,
that witness.
A witness in
the Clydach murder trial
has stormed out of court and swore at barristers
as the prosecution challenged her evidence saying
it didn't match her statements to police after
the killings.
The prosecution claimed that 19 year old
Louise Pugh mixed up dates.
When giving an account of the day before
the murders.
When the jury retired,
I don't think anybody knew exactly which way
things were gonna go.
We waited for days outside and it was really hot.
I remember it was 3:38 on a Friday afternoon.
And we were called in.
I remember Mr. Hutchison going
to hold my hand.
And I saw the jury walk back in,
they were to my left.
And the ladies were in tears.
They were crying and they sat down.
-And the foreman looked directly at
David Morris.
And I thought, Oh, well maybe it's not
guilty verdict because juries don't tend to
look people in the face if
they're gonna convict them.
-And I remember in that split second,
we were all thinking the same thing.
We've got this, it's in the bag.
The right decision is gonna be made.
They're going to find him not guilty.
When the guilty verdict
came through it was um,
It was just,
I honestly can't describe it.
And I just wanted to sit by him.
I just wanted to go and sit next to him.
'Cause he was just there.
And I thought he was being accused of
this horrific murder
and he's just there on his own.
I just wanted to go and sit by him.
That was a,
'cause we've always been there for each other,
you know?
And he's always been there for me.
And I just wanted to sit by him.
-When the verdicts were delivered.
I sat in court with the family.
And the foreman stood up and pronounced
the verdicts.
It was rather strange.
I felt I'd be wanting to punch the sky.
Yes!
You know, fantastic.
It wasn't that at all.
It was to me quite a sublime moment.
And it was something that I just look back and um
I thought of Katie.
I'll do that a bit again.
I had two daughters who were
younger than Katie and Emily.
And I can see my children grow up
and love them and enjoy them.
And you know, that's been denied
to Mandy's family.
It has been three long
and difficult years since Mom,
Mandy, Katie, and Emily were
so clearly taken from us.
And today we know
that evil person responsible for this will spend
the rest of his life behind bars.
But this will never be enough for
the sense of pain and loss that we feel
every day,
nor for the sheer hell and fear all our
family went through that night.
Was it the right verdict?
-I think the only person who knows whether
they committed those murders or not
is David Morris.
No one knows 100%, what went on in that house
and who was responsible.
What I can say is that everybody on
the press bench that sat through
that trial felt that the right verdict,
on the basis of the evidence
that was presented in the court
was the right verdict.
This has been an extraordinary trial where
the defense claimed Alison Lewis had killed
those she loved.
-I am pleased with the verdict today.
Justice has finally been achieved.
While standing trial for murder,
the judicial system afforded David Morris,
the luxury of being innocent until proven guilty.
What was it like when you heard
the guilty verdict?
What emotions did you feel?
Angry, I think.
Angry that he had done this to people I love.
Angry that he'd been allowed to get away with
it for so long.
And relief.
I have felt the loss of Mandy,
Katie, and Emily, Doris more than anyone
will ever know.
However, I have never lost sight of
the pain Mandy's family must have
and still are suffering.
And I wish them the strength to move forward
in an attempt to rebuild their lives.
As my family and myself now have to work at
rebuilding ours.
So you must have thought that
that was it.
-Yeah, to a degree.
I thought things are gonna be more positive.
He's being convicted.
I thought I could start to rebuild,
get on with my life.
That things would get better.
That's what I thought.
But little did I know,
it was gonna be short lived.
Today it was claimed that
Swansea Solicitor, David Hutchison should never
have represented Morris.
Because he also represented this man,
Sergeant Steven Lewis, a serving police officer.
-Mr. -David Hutchison had
represented both Steven and Stewart Lewis when
the police were investigating
them in connection with the Clydach murders.
He had agreed with
David Hutchison that he wouldn't be blamed for
the murders at Morris's trial.
I wasn't aware that there was
some form of agreement that had taken place.
That whilst Mr. Hutchison was going to represent
David Morris, that he wouldn't accuse
Steven or Stewart Lewis of the murders.
Was the full case against
Steven and Stuart Lewis made to the jury?
-No.
It was all about Alison Lewis.
We stayed clear of the Lewis brothers.
