John Morris’s new book is an investigation into the Clydach murders
in South Wales in 1999 in which Mandy Power, her mother and two
daughters were battered to death. Morris contends that, although
tried twice, Dai Morris, the man convicted for the murders in 2006,
is innocent. No forensic evidence or DNA connected him 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. His case is currently
being reviewed and will be heard in the Court of Appeal, probably
in 2018, in the light of new evidence, including DNA testing and
falsification of police documents. South Wales Police was notorious
in the period 1980 to 2010 for false convictions on fabricated
evidence and the Morris case appears to be another instance of
this. Significantly, previous suspects for the murders include
former police officers, one of whom was having a lesbian affair
with Mandy Power. There is every possibility that the case is a
miscarriage of justice. The author has corresponded with Morris,
studied all the police files and court papers, discussed the case
with key witnesses and experts, and is convinced that Morris is
both innocent, and the victim of a conspiracy to convict him. The
brutal murder of an entire family is a horrible event but to
compound that with an unsafe conviction shows a disrespect to the
victims, to their relatives, to the family of Dai Morris and to the
law.
