Aamir Siddiqi was an innocent teenager murdered by two hitmen who

:00:02.:00:10.

stabbed him to death in front of his parents. His sister described

:00:10.:00:19.

him as the heartbeat of the family. Within seconds, our lives changed

:00:19.:00:23.

forever. The world has moved on in the almost three years since the

:00:24.:00:28.

murder but for us, the attack is as fresh as if it happened yesterday.

:00:28.:00:31.

They'd been paid to carry out a contract killing but they got the

:00:31.:00:41.
:00:41.:00:45.

wrong man. Jason Richards and Ben Hope guilty of Aamir's murder.

:00:45.:00:52.

A swimming pool and a library could close, and an island sold off. Some

:00:52.:01:01.

of the cuts proposed by Cardiff Council.

:01:01.:01:05.

The there will be tough choices. As politicians, we have been sent here

:01:05.:01:09.

to make those choices on behalf of the people we represent. All health

:01:09.:01:12.

boards here are failing people like Wendy, by not providing essential

:01:12.:01:15.

services for deaf people. It's time to get excited. The Six

:01:15.:01:21.

Nations is here. Wales beat Ireland to set up a Grand Slam in 2012. And

:01:21.:01:31.

everyone thinks it will be tight again this year. Winning by just

:01:31.:01:39.

one point will do me! I will go for five points! Good evening. They

:01:39.:01:42.

were paid �1,000 each to kill, but the drug addicts who went to the

:01:42.:01:44.

wrong house and murdered and innocent teenager are tonight

:01:44.:01:47.

facing life in jail. 17-year-old Aamir Siddiqi was at home with his

:01:47.:01:50.

parents in the Roath area of Cardiff, when two masked men Jason

:01:50.:01:55.

Richards and Ben Hope burst in and stabbed him in April20-10. Caroline

:01:55.:02:05.
:02:05.:02:07.

Evans is outside the house for us tonight.

:02:07.:02:11.

This is a case which sent a shudder through the whole city, the idea

:02:11.:02:14.

that a normal teenager answering his own front door could be stabbed

:02:14.:02:19.

to death in front of his parents. An attack so swift and so brutal

:02:19.:02:29.
:02:29.:02:29.

they were unable to save their son. Aamir Siddiqi was 17, a bright,

:02:29.:02:35.

popular student, hoping to study law at Cardiff University. But in

:02:35.:02:41.

April last year, he was murdered in his own home. He answered the front

:02:41.:02:45.

door to two masked men. They chased him inside and as his parents tried

:02:45.:02:50.

in vain to fight them off, they stabbed him to death. Today, his

:02:50.:02:55.

family emerged from the court saying justice had been done.

:02:55.:02:59.

Today's guilty verdict is the right one. And as a family, we are

:02:59.:03:05.

both delighted and relieved. On 11th April 1920 10, a house which

:03:05.:03:09.

was previously it -- filled with love and laughter was brutally

:03:09.:03:13.

destroyed by the callous and vicious attack on our parents and

:03:13.:03:19.

brother. Within seconds, our lives changed forever. The world has

:03:19.:03:22.

moved on -- moved on in almost three years is the murders but for

:03:22.:03:29.

us, the attack is as fresh as if it happened yesterday. 38-year-old

:03:29.:03:32.

Jason Richards and 39-year-old Ben Hope were found guilty of murdering

:03:32.:03:37.

Aamir Siddiqi and attempting to murder his parents. The case

:03:37.:03:40.

against them pieced together by police using mobile phone records

:03:40.:03:48.

and CCTV footage. These City of Cardiff has extensive CT -- CCTV

:03:48.:03:52.

coverage and I have no doubt the evidence together with Telephony

:03:52.:03:56.

and forensic evidence has been a major factor in this successful

:03:56.:04:01.

prosecution. During the trial, the court heard that the two drug

:04:01.:04:04.

addicts had been paid to attack another man but they had gone to

:04:04.:04:10.

the wrong house. Their target address was an end-of-terrace house

:04:10.:04:15.

in Shirley Road but they went instead to wave rolled -- house 70

:04:15.:04:25.
:04:25.:04:29.

yards away. Aamir Siddiqi's parents tried to jump on the men and pull

:04:29.:04:35.

them off their son. They were both stabbed in the attack. A few

:04:35.:04:39.

seconds have changed our life. The people that have committed this

:04:39.:04:48.

crime cannot understand what a loss, not just for my family and extended

:04:48.:04:56.

family but the entire community. was a very popular boy. He was

:04:56.:05:02.

liked by everybody. And particularly at school. Throughout

:05:02.:05:06.

this case, both then bring each other for the attack. But today,

:05:06.:05:11.

the jury decided both were guilty. Solving this murder, a crime which

:05:11.:05:14.

at the outset seemed to have no motive, was a challenge for

:05:14.:05:17.

detectives. They took CCTV from Cardiff buses, examined mobile

:05:17.:05:27.
:05:27.:05:31.

phone records to build up the case against Richards and Hope. As the

:05:31.:05:35.

masked man leapt up the steps of this Victorian villa, they were

:05:35.:05:39.

intent on killing. Forcing their way in, one wielding a knife, they

:05:39.:05:44.

howled as 17-year-old Aamir Siddiqi was fatally stabbed. His parents

:05:44.:05:49.

were injured trying to save him. Their parental instincts kicked in

:05:49.:05:53.

straight away and they did what I think every parent would do. And

:05:54.:05:59.

that is you are protective to pretend to -- prevent harm coming

:05:59.:06:03.

to your child and that is what exactly they did without fear for

:06:03.:06:09.

their own safety. Aamir Siddiqi had been expecting his local Koran

:06:09.:06:19.

study teacher. But he was never to see him again. Very, very sad.

:06:19.:06:25.

was a very good boy. The masked men were employed to carry out a hit on

:06:25.:06:29.

a victim in Shirley Road. But in what has been described in court as

:06:29.:06:34.

a staggering incompetence, they came to a similar-looking house in

:06:34.:06:38.

the neighbouring road. A drug- fuelled mistake that cost Aamir

:06:38.:06:43.

Siddiqi his life. From the outset, police did not believe that Aamir

:06:43.:06:46.

Siddiqi was the intended victim that they had no idea what was

:06:46.:06:50.

behind this apparently motiveless crime. But within five days, a

:06:50.:06:54.

successful media appeal resulted in the arrests of Ben Hope and Jason

:06:54.:06:58.

Richards. The early breakthrough came when police were called to

:06:58.:07:06.

this grocery store. The owner recognise the description of two

:07:06.:07:09.

men wanted in connection of the murder. His mother said they had

:07:09.:07:13.

been in the shop just hours before Aamir Siddiqi was killed. I asked

:07:13.:07:17.

her what they bought and she said they asked for Tait and gloves and

:07:17.:07:24.

that made me raised a few concerns. I decided to wind back the CCTV.

:07:24.:07:30.

a result of viewing that CCTV, we were able to identify Ben Hope and

:07:30.:07:33.

Jason Richards. That was done by the local beat officers, they know

:07:33.:07:37.

the people in the area. It was -- was one of the most complex and

:07:37.:07:40.

complicated investigations that be in South Wales have investigated

:07:40.:07:47.

for many years. It had in excess of 8.5 years of CCTV to analyse. Tens

:07:47.:07:52.

of thousands of rows of data of telephony that needed to be poured

:07:52.:07:56.

over. Hogg on heroin, Jason Richards attended and a dictionary

:07:56.:08:06.
:08:06.:08:08.

-- addiction meeting here. The pair met regularly at this house where

:08:08.:08:12.

they would inject each other with heroin, smoked cannabis and take

:08:12.:08:18.

crack cocaine. Jason Richards got his supply of drugs from an unnamed

:08:18.:08:21.

Asian businessman, said to be a major player in the Cardiff and the

:08:21.:08:27.

world. It was this man who ordered the it for just �2,000. But it was

:08:27.:08:32.

not meant for Aamir Siddiqi. This man was the intended victim. He had

:08:32.:08:35.

agreed to sell the business and his house for cash. It is now thought

:08:35.:08:40.

that was an elaborate way of using this totally innocent family man to

:08:40.:08:50.
:08:50.:08:50.

launder drug money. Aamir Siddiqi dreamt of being a lawyer and wanted

:08:50.:08:55.

to study law at Cardiff University. His sixth-form college say he was

:08:55.:09:00.

academically gifted at his loss has hit them all heart. He was the life

:09:00.:09:05.

and soul of this college. He left an enormous hole in the place. And

:09:05.:09:10.

it was very difficult for many of them to cope. We were in the middle

:09:10.:09:16.

of examinations as well. All in all, it was an extremely difficult time.

:09:16.:09:20.

After his murder, Aamir Siddiqi's friends had a football match in his

:09:20.:09:27.

honour. He loved sport. We used to play football and cricket. Three

:09:27.:09:30.

years on and he has not forgotten. In the park opposite his home,

:09:30.:09:36.

friends raise money for a permanent memorial. Most of us believe in

:09:36.:09:43.

heaven and hell. Aamir Siddiqi died for his religion, waiting for his

:09:43.:09:48.

Koran teacher. We hope he is in paradise at the moment. He was the

:09:48.:09:53.

least harmful person that you would have ever met. He had great

:09:53.:09:57.

aspirations and ambitions. He was destined to do great things. It is

:09:57.:10:03.

up to us now to keep his memory alive. After a trial lasting almost

:10:03.:10:06.

five months it took the jury little more than five hours to reach

:10:06.:10:09.

unanimous verdicts. The men will be sentenced next week but the judge

:10:10.:10:18.

told them that sentence will be one of life in prison.

:10:18.:10:22.

An inquest has returned a verdict of unlawful killing in the case of

:10:22.:10:25.

a 96-year-old woman who died after falling down a lift shaft at a care

:10:25.:10:29.

home in Cardiff. May Lewis fell 20 foot as her wheelchair was pulled

:10:29.:10:33.

into the empty shaft by a carer five days after moving in to the

:10:33.:10:40.

home. The inquest heard the lift door was faulty.

:10:40.:10:42.

Cardiff has been selected as the preferred site for a new

:10:42.:10:46.

incinerator for south Wales. Five councils have formed the Prosiect

:10:46.:10:49.

Gwyrdd group to oversee the project, which will burn household and

:10:49.:10:53.

commercial waste to create energy. Recycling firm Viridor have already

:10:53.:10:57.

started to develop the site near the Splott area of the city.

:10:57.:11:07.

Residents nearby say they'll continue to protest against it.

:11:07.:11:10.

What I would say is that we understand the concerns of local

:11:10.:11:15.

people. What we are hopeful is we will be able to answer the

:11:15.:11:17.

technical and environmental questions they have when we talk to

:11:17.:11:24.

the people. We are going to the High Court to look for a court

:11:24.:11:29.

order to compel Cardiff Council to take action. And also, to compel

:11:29.:11:38.

Cardiff Council not to support this project bid. The manager of the

:11:38.:11:41.

Gleision Colliery in the Swansea Valley has appeared in court,

:11:41.:11:43.

charged with manslaughter. Miners Gary Jenkins, David Powell, Phillip

:11:43.:11:45.

Hill and Charles Breslin died after becoming trapped underground in

:11:45.:11:49.

September 2011. Malcolm Fyfield is charged with four counts of gross

:11:49.:11:52.

negligence manslaughter. The company which owns the colliery

:11:52.:11:55.

faces four counts of corporate manslaughter. The next hearing is

:11:55.:12:01.

at Swansea Crown Court later this month.

:12:01.:12:04.

300 jobs are under threat at Cardiff Council in an attempt to

:12:04.:12:07.

save money. The council is proposing to sell an island, stop

:12:07.:12:11.

school music subsidies and close a swimming pool. The council says it

:12:11.:12:14.

needs to save �22 million in the next year, and a total of �110

:12:14.:12:20.

million pounds over five years. It's one of many councils now

:12:20.:12:24.

facing some difficult financial decisions.

:12:24.:12:27.

You might think it's only billionaire businessmen who buy and

:12:27.:12:29.

sell islands, but Cardiff Council own this one and they're thinking

:12:29.:12:35.

of selling up. Flat Holm island may be sold off, part of a plan that

:12:35.:12:39.

would also see an end to school music lesson subsidies and a cut to

:12:39.:12:47.

library opening hours. The council's expecting a backlash.

:12:47.:12:51.

are not elected to be popping up. At the end of the day, what we can

:12:51.:12:58.

hope for is we will be respected for having made the right decisions.

:12:58.:13:02.

I think that people will understand that there are difficult choices.

:13:02.:13:11.

We live in difficult times. council says it is spending more on

:13:11.:13:14.

social services. The plans aren't popular with people who use Splott

:13:15.:13:21.

Swimming pool, which is also facing closure. It would make things hard

:13:21.:13:24.

for our children. It will be a great shame. It is the only

:13:24.:13:31.

swimming pool in this area. Once it is closed, that is it for good.

:13:31.:13:41.
:13:41.:13:42.

When the good times return, it is unlikely that they will reopen it.

:13:42.:13:45.

Cardiff Council will vote on these Budgett proposals at the end of the

:13:45.:13:48.

month. But cats are not just an issue in the capital. Right across

:13:48.:13:58.
:13:58.:13:59.

Wales, councils are making difficult choices. Every council

:13:59.:14:04.

will be facing difficult decisions. The bigger cancel your art, the

:14:04.:14:14.

more room there is for manoeuvre. - - counil you are. Anglesey, one of

:14:14.:14:18.

Wales' smallest councils, is trying to save �3 million. It's dropped a

:14:18.:14:21.

plan to close its public toilets but here, just like the rest of

:14:21.:14:28.

Wales, the search for savings continues. Still to come tonight.

:14:28.:14:33.

All the build up to the start of the Six Nations tomorrow. How do

:14:33.:14:37.

you feed 74.000 hungry fans on match day? We've been given

:14:37.:14:47.
:14:47.:14:47.

exclusive behind the scenes access here at the Millennium Stadium.

:14:47.:14:50.

For most of us, booking a doctor's appointment or dealing with a

:14:50.:14:53.

medical emergency means we simply pick up the phone and speak to

:14:53.:14:58.

someone on the other end. But what if you're deaf? A BBC Wales

:14:58.:15:00.

investigation has found that all Welsh health boards are failing to

:15:01.:15:03.

comply with the law, by not providing accessible services for

:15:03.:15:13.
:15:13.:15:20.

deaf people. For Wendy, comparing diaries with her mother is a

:15:20.:15:24.

crucial task force or pre-let -- she relies on her for day-to-day

:15:24.:15:27.

life but definitely needed her the day her daughter had breathing

:15:27.:15:33.

problems. Wendy had to rely on a text message to wake her mother who

:15:33.:15:36.

lives nearby so that she could call the ambulance. That was not the

:15:36.:15:42.

only challenge. At that time, my mother unfortunately was also ill

:15:42.:15:49.

and she was being sick. She had to go home. It left me on my own with

:15:49.:15:53.

my daughter with no interpreter. And they were treating my daughter.

:15:53.:15:56.

They were giving her injections and there was nobody to explain what

:15:56.:16:03.

was going on. And Wendy was not alone. Around 500,000 people are

:16:03.:16:06.

deaf or hard of hearing in Wales. The law states there should be

:16:06.:16:10.

provisions in place to help them. But that is not being met. In

:16:10.:16:14.

response, the health boards say there are some things in place to

:16:14.:16:24.
:16:24.:16:25.

help but they are striving to improve access. Good morning.

:16:25.:16:29.

this surgery, you can put some appointments by e-mail but in 90 %

:16:29.:16:33.

of GP practices, the only way as over the phone or in person. And

:16:33.:16:40.

however clear this may be for those who macro can here... It would be

:16:40.:16:44.

no use if you were deaf. What is being called for our simple

:16:44.:16:47.

inexpensive measures that are already in place in some practices.

:16:47.:16:57.
:16:57.:17:00.

Using text and e-mails to book Nobody does not want to give good

:17:00.:17:07.

service and good access to death patience. Everyone wants to do that.

:17:07.:17:10.

But practices are reasonably aware but with all these things,

:17:10.:17:14.

undoubtedly, awareness could be improved. It is not just a legal

:17:14.:17:17.

obligation, health boards are failing to meet. They have been

:17:17.:17:20.

asked by the was government along with other bodies to put a policy

:17:20.:17:30.
:17:30.:17:42.

in place by last ever -- September Well done. What is the point in

:17:42.:17:49.

clapping? I cannot hear it. Sarah goes into businesses with an

:17:49.:17:54.

interpreter to make them more aware of how they can help. She does not

:17:54.:18:00.

think that policies of the answer. I think it is about engaging with

:18:00.:18:03.

people and of being frightened to do that. I believe that the moment

:18:03.:18:10.

it his policy lead. -- that it his it his policy lead. -- that it his

:18:10.:18:20.
:18:20.:18:24.

Recognising the problems people face is the issue. If my mother was

:18:25.:18:28.

not alive, we do not know what will happen in the future, who will be

:18:28.:18:33.

there to support me? I cannot rely on my mother all the time. If there

:18:33.:18:37.

was something to happen to her, what would I do? Who would support

:18:37.:18:42.

me? It's almost here. The Six Nations kicks off tomorrow

:18:42.:18:45.

lunchtime, and Wales start their title defence at home. Ashleigh's

:18:46.:18:50.

at the Millennium Stadium for us tonight.

:18:51.:18:54.

Wales are the Grand Slam Champions, but they haven't been playing like

:18:54.:18:58.

it for a few months now. Their recent record of seven consecutive

:18:58.:19:01.

defeats would suggest they'll be hard pressed to repeat their

:19:01.:19:07.

success. They've had a few injury problems too. But the Six Nations

:19:07.:19:10.

is a notoriously unpredictable tournament. And if Wales can

:19:10.:19:12.

rediscover their form against Ireland here tomorrow, anything is

:19:12.:19:22.
:19:22.:19:27.

possible. They may be be the Grand Slam champions put Wales have

:19:27.:19:30.

expectations are lower than 12 months ago. Back then, they were

:19:30.:19:34.

confident after impressing at the World Cup. A brilliant win in

:19:34.:19:38.

Dublin followed. But in lifting the Six Nations Trophy, they have not

:19:38.:19:43.

beaten another Test nation. Their worst run of defeats for a decade.

:19:43.:19:48.

Tomorrow, the need to sort the -- stop the downward spiral against

:19:48.:19:53.

Ireland. We are at home first up and we can take a lot of pride from

:19:53.:20:00.

that. That national jersey, to wear the national jersey and to be given

:20:00.:20:04.

a plants best chance, players want that chance and it is important

:20:04.:20:08.

that they perform on the weekend. History shows that winning the

:20:08.:20:12.

first match of the tournament can often make-or-break a season. In

:20:12.:20:15.

the last 10 seasons, when Wales have lost the first match, they

:20:15.:20:21.

have never finished higher than 4th. When they have won their first

:20:21.:20:27.

match, they have gone on to win the tournament. Winning week in week

:20:27.:20:31.

out, the momentum is massive. It makes training that much happier

:20:31.:20:35.

and there is less pressure. Training becomes a bit easier. If

:20:35.:20:41.

you lose, with three away games, it is an uphill battle. It will be a

:20:41.:20:48.

first Six Nations start for fly- half done -- Dan Biggar. But there

:20:48.:20:52.

will be no hiding place for anyone when Ireland arrive in Cardiff.

:20:52.:20:57.

Wales will need to rediscover the magic of 12 months ago. The players

:20:57.:21:00.

have an extra incentive to do well in the tournament as they compete

:21:00.:21:03.

for places on this summer's Lions tour. And we'll start the debate

:21:03.:21:09.

about who Warren Gatland should pick, here on Wales Today. Former

:21:09.:21:12.

Wales and Lions centre Tom Shanklin will be our special guest on Monday

:21:12.:21:16.

nights throughout the tournament. Tom will be giving us his view on

:21:16.:21:19.

who's played themselves into contention for the tour. So don't

:21:20.:21:26.

miss our first Lions chat with Tom Shanklin on Monday night. Of course,

:21:26.:21:28.

tomorrow this stadium will be packed with around 74,000 cheering

:21:28.:21:34.

fans. But staging an event like this is a huge logistical operation,

:21:34.:21:37.

requiring months of preparation. Wales Today has been given

:21:38.:21:40.

exclusive access behind the scenes here at the stadium to find out

:21:41.:21:50.
:21:51.:21:51.

just what it takes to host a Six Nations match.

:21:51.:21:56.

Pitch-side, there is always plenty of activity or ahead of a game. But

:24:32.:24:38.

question for Derek tonight is, is it going to rain? The weather's

been unsettled this week and let's hope the Welsh can unsettle the

:24:41.:24:47.

If you are going to the match tomorrow. It's going to be a lovely

:24:47.:24:53.

day in Cardiff. Chilly but dry. Plenty of sunshine. The high around

:25:51.:25:54.

and some people believe that the weather on Candlemas can tell us

:25:54.:26:00.

what the rest of the winter will be like and there's an old rhyme. If

:26:00.:26:03.

Candlemas Day be fair and bright, winter will have another fight but

:26:03.:26:06.

if Candlemas Day be clouds and rain, winter is gone and will not come

again. Tomorrow is going to be fair and bright which means we haven't
