A major investigation into the failings of | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
South Wales Police following the murder of Lynette White 26 years | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Three men were wrongly convicted of her murder. | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
This latest report was carried out after Britain's biggest police | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Tony Parris is one of the original Cardiff Three - | :00:34. | :00:43. | |
men wrongly convicted and jailed for the murder of Lynette White. | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
Back on Valentine's Day 1988, Miss White, who was 20 at the time, | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
was found murdered in this Butetown flat. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
Despite reports of a white man seen fleeing the scene, | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
It wasn't until 1992 that Tony Parris, | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
Yusef Abdulahi and Stephen Miller had their convictions quashed. | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
Advances in DNA finally led to the arrest | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
After that a new inquiry was launched into what went wrong with | :01:11. | :01:19. | |
Eight former South Wales officers were charged with perverting | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
the course of justice - the biggest case of its kind | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
However, their trial collapsed when it was thought evidence files | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
The missing paperwork later turned up. | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
Following the collapse of the trial, a large number of complaints were | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
The Devon and Cornwall force were asked to investigate perjury, | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
conspiracy and other allegations of misconduct. | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
Today, the operation published their findings and most | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
The report concluded there was no evidence of criminality or | :01:56. | :02:05. | |
misconduct by officers, although it did recommend 34 different areas | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
in which South Wales Police could improve their procedures in future. | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
South Wales Police said the report reflected the good faith | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
and professional leadership with which officers approached | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
the important investigation into the earlier police inquiry. | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
The Police and Crime Commissioner says the report's findings are | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
reassuring and points the finger for the collapse of the trial | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
The question is one for the Crown Prosecution Service. | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
A highly critical report from the inspector, | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
I am not sure what has happened as a result of that, and that is | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
The total cost of trials, quashed convictions and investigations is | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
But for Tony Parris, it is another report that has failed to | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
give himm the answers he was looking for. | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
I don't expect anything from the system. | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
I just want to relax now, it has gone on 26 years, | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
More than a quarter of a century on, the truth about what happened has | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
long been established but the conduct of the police investigation | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
Lawyers for those wrongly jailed are still hoping the Home Secretary | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
Also today, the Home Secretary, Theresa May, has announced | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
a new chair to lead the review into how the police handled the murder | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
The private investigator from Cwmbran was killed with | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
No-one has been convicted of his murder. | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
Baroness Nuala O'Loan, a former Police Ombudsman for Northern | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
Horizon, the company responsible for the planned new Wylfa nuclear power | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
station on Anglesey, says it won't produce any power until at least | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
Meanwhile, plans for power lines to link up the new | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
Wylfa and offshore windfarms with the Grid have also been delayed. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
Some people want the cables to run under the sea | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
National Grid says it wants to ensure it takes | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
A woman who was abused by her uncle, a Jehovah's Witness elder has | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
spoken about her anger at the way the Church handled her case. | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
Karen Morgan from Barry says they failed to act on her complaint. | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
Yesterday, Mark Sewell was jailed for 14 years | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
A spokesman for the Jehovah's Witnesses has said police | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
She is putting her life back together | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
but Karen Morgan says she is still struggling to come to terms with | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
I really was more naive, I would say, than other girls my age, | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
which is how he was able to groom me and he was able to do it very | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
53-year-old Mark Sewell was jailed for 14 years yesterday | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
after being convicted of eight sexual offences against women | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
Born and brought up as a Jehovah's Witness, the Church was the family's | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
life and so when the abuse began, it was to the Church they turned. | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
What Karen went through as a result she now says is harder | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
Those group of elders who sat me as a child in front of a guy who | :05:35. | :05:43. | |
had been abusing me for years and expected me to talk about it | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
in front of him and him calling me a liar, I mean, I think that has | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
probably had the most effect on the rest of my life | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
because what he did to me I have had to try to deal with, but I have also | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
had to try and deal with the fact of how the whole thing was handled. | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
It is that part that I am just, I want answers for that. | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
Today, a spokesman for the congregation | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
in Barry said that because these offences happened 20 years ago, | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
no-one there now knew of Mark Sewell. | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
But in a statement from the organisation in London, | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
they say Mark Sewell was expelled over 20 years ago. | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
He has not served in any position of authority since then. | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
When any Jehovah's Witness is accused of serious wrongdoing, | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
They say victims are never forced to attend a meeting or confront | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
an alleged perpetrator of child abuse and procedures are | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
Karen has no regrets about waving her right to anonymity. | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
She has already been contacted by dozens of people thanking her | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
She is now looking forward and wants changes made | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
A candlelit vigil has taken place in Denbigh tonight for a | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
73-year-old man who's gone missing on the Greek island of Crete. | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
Arthur Jones hasn't been seen since June 19th - two days | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
The Denbigh community has come together to raise money | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
for his family, who have travelled to the island. | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
Welsh Premier clubs have been in European action tonight | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
in the Europa League first qualifying round. | :07:32. | :07:34. | |

Is it going to be wet tomorrow, Benny? | :08:03. | :08:12. | |
Yes, it is going to remain unsettled as we head into the weekend as well. | :08:13. | :08:21. | |
Tonight, a cloudy picture and we have got rain already coming into | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
parts of the North and West but it is a fairly mild night. The wind has | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
already picked up tonight and we will see them strengthening further | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
tomorrow. This area of low pressure is controlling our weather, feeding | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
in this cold weather system, which will bring cloudier conditions and | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
some rain. Tomorrow morning, it is a cloudy start. Quite a blister | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
restart as well. Some intense downpours possible for Ireland and | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
Scotland. South-east England enjoying the best of the weather. | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
Still warm with a top temperature of 29 Celsius. Little chance of that in | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
Wales tomorrow. We are stuck under the cloud and rain. The rain will | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
continue into tomorrow night as well. Hopefully, the wind will push | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
it through and we will see something a bit drier for Anglesey and | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
Pembrokeshire. It is a wet start for parts of the south-east on Saturday | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
but the rain band will clear and the afternoon is not looking too bad. We | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
can look forward to some sunshine but there is the risk of the odd | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
shower. Temperatures ranging between 16 and 19 Celsius. We have some more | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
showers on Sunday, they could be done to read, but a little bit of | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
brightness as well. Hopefully more settled by the middle of next week. | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
And that is Wales Today. We'll have updates in the morning from around | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
6.25am. From all of us here, good night. | :09:57. | :09:59. |
