Welcome to Wales Today our top stories - | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
was Jon Styler, a former headmaster from Newport, | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
one of the most prolific paedophiles in the country? | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
Tonight, questions for the Local Council and the police. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
And Christopher May, charged with killing a woman he met in a pub | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
in Pontypridd, a court hears she was "brutally and viciously" murdered. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:40 | |
Good evening. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
A former headteacher from Newport, accused of historical sexual abuse, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
may have been one of Wales' most prolific paedophiles, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
according to solicitors representing his alleged victims. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
Lawyers say Jon Styler, who killed himself while being | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
investigated by police could have abused more than 100 boys. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
He denied all the allegations. Jordan Davies reports. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:04 | |
Jon Styler, as some would have known him. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
A talented musician and charismatic young headteacher. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
Others claim he was a predatory paedophile who abused young boys. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:16 | |
Solicitors now believe that there may be more than 100 victims, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
making him one of Wales's most prolific paedophiles. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
This man, a former police officer, who doesn't want to be identified | 0:01:23 | 0:01:33 | |
was speaking for the first time says he and his brother were abused | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
by Jon Styler and that his brother told police about the abuse in 2005 | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
but the details weren't properly recorded. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:41 | |
It's such a shame to hear | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
that this type of incident, along with a lot of other tragic cases | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
in our lives, still go on today. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
Little things, details matter in policing. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
They matter enormously. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
So, why wasn't that link made? | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
Jon Styler killed himself in 2007, following another allegation | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
made earlier that year. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
BBC Wales has learned that Gwent Police didn't connect | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
these two allegations. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:07 | |
The force has launched a review, following our investigation. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
We also understand a formal complaint has been made to | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
the Independent Police Complaints Commission. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
But Jon Styler's alleged behaviour at the Welsh primary school was | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
questioned as far back as the 1970s. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
Concerns were raised by this man, the deputy head Lyndon Middleship. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
Speaking publicly for the first time, he questions | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
the way this case has been handled. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
The police came to the school, questioned the head, the deputy head | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
and some of the teachers, but none of them had ever taught with Styler. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:45 | |
No police came at all and ask me anything about the situation. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:53 | |
Newport Council said it has no record of Gwent Police contacting | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
them about the allegations. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:57 | |
Nor does it have Jon Styler's personnel records. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
The council says it can't comment further. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
The matter is subject to a compensation claim. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
The Children's Commissioner for Wales says the way the case was | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
handled should be looked at again. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:14 | |
Potentially by a high profile ongoing judge-led enquiry. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
This case fits for me exactly within | 0:03:16 | 0:03:27 | |
the Goddard Enquiry, a general enquiry into historic sexual abuse | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
claims for the whole of England and | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
Wales. Jon Styler denied all the allegations against him. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
The police and crime commission for Quinn says lessons says lessons | 0:03:34 | 0:03:44 | |
have now been learned and urges any victims of historical | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
abuse to come forward. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:47 | |
More on this story in Week in, Week Out immediately | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
after this programme. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
A court has heard that a woman was brutally murdered at a flat in | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
Pontypridd, after meeting a man in a nearby pub. Tracey Woodford's body | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
was found dismembered in a flat in the town, days after being reported | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
missing in April. Rebecca John reports. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
50-year-old Christopher May seen here at a previous hearing. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
He was accused in court of strangling and killing 47-year-old | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
Tracy Woodford in a deliberate, brutal, and vicious murder. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
The two had met in this pub in Pontypridd | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
on Tuesday the 21st of April. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
Tracey Woodford who was single and unemployed was reported missing | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
by her family the following day. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:26 | |
Police called at Christopher May's flat on Friday 24th of April, where | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
they described what was described as "a truly gruesome sight." | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
The jury was told that when officers went to Christopher | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
May's flat, they were immediately struck by the foul smell, | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
despite the wide-open windows. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
He allowed them to search the flat and in the bathroom, | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
when one officer pulled back the shower curtain, he was confronted | 0:04:44 | 0:04:51 | |
with a sight he had never seen before and certainly didn't expect. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
Christopher May was immediately arrested on suspicion of murder | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
and he told officers they would find further remains in a storm | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
drain at Pontypridd rugby club. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
This sparked a detailed forensic search which took in several | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
locations across the town. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
The jury has been told that Christopher May admits that | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
his actions were responsible for Tracey Woodford's death | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
but he denies murdering her. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:17 | |
The trial at Cardiff Crown Court is expected to last two weeks. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
A man has been charged with murder, | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
following the death of a 22-year-old man in Carmarthenshire. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
Simon Bell was taken to hospital after an incident in Llanelli | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
on Friday but later died. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:28 | |
Wesley Jones is due to appear before Magistrates tomorrow. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
A 52-year-old man has been released on bail pending further enquires. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:41 | |
All of Arriva Trains Wales services will be cancelled this | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
Thursday and Friday because of industrial action. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:45 | |
Members of the RMT and Aslef unions will strike | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
for 48 hours in a dispute over pay and working conditions. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
The Conservatives would consider | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
supporting the Welsh Government's proposal for a new motorway | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
around Newport - if the First Minister can prove | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
that it will cost less than the official estimate. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
Carwyn Jones has refused to put an exact figure on the total. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
The final decision won't be made until after next year's | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
Assembly Elections. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
Here's Our Political Editor Nick Servini. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
It would be the biggest single infrastructure project carried | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
out by the Welsh government. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:21 | |
A six-lane motorway 15 miles long to the south of Newport, | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
avoiding the notorious tunnels with a price tag of ?1 billion, | 0:06:24 | 0:06:32 | |
or so we thought. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
Now, the First Minister says it would be nowhere near that. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
Although he has refused to say how much it will cost for fear | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
of damaging contract negotiations. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:45 | |
We will have countries tendering for the contracts to build the M4 if it | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
gets to that stage, as is our plan. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
Revealing beforehand what your target figure is, is not a wise | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
move in the world of business. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:54 | |
Without an overall majority, the Labour Welsh government needs | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
support from one of the opposition parties and none have | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
been prepared to give it. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:00 | |
Plaid Cymru and the Liberal Democrats support | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
a cheaper alternative, to upgrade the existing Southern | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
distributor road in Newport. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
The Conservatives say there's an opportunity for the | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
First Minister to build support for a new motorway if he is more | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
transparent with the figures. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:17 | |
He should come out with the parameters that he believes | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
his government and any future Welsh government will be operating on | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
when they commission this road. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
If he can do that, then I think he will gain a lot of | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
support and there will be traction in delivering this project. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
What we have learned today is that if a lid can be kept on the costs | 0:07:30 | 0:07:34 | |
of this new motorway, then the Tories are willing to talk | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
to Labour about it. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
Now, there's a long way to go on this but at a time when many | 0:07:40 | 0:07:44 | |
people simply think this road isn't going to be built, it just opens the | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
door to the possibility of a deal. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:53 | |
Let's see what the weather has in store here's Derek Brockway. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
Hello again. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
The temperature in Flintshire didn't fall below 15.7 Celsius last night, | 0:07:59 | 0:08:04 | |
a new November record. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
It's going to stay mild and breezy tonight. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
More rain and drizzle. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
Most of the rain on the mountains in the Northwest. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
Dry to the north and east on high ground. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
Some flooding on the Conwy Valley at the moment. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
And there are still seven flood alerts in force. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
Tomorrow morning, damper for most of us, drier in the marches and to | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
the north-east some poor conditions on the Snowdonia Mountains, | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
some heavy rain reaching Anglesey. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
Across the rest of the UK, a band of rain through northern | 0:08:32 | 0:08:37 | |
England and the Irish Sea will move south-east through the day. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
Some of that rain heavily. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:41 | |
Further east, drier and brighter across eastern England. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
To the north and west, brightening up across Scotland and Northern | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
Ireland, some heavy showers in the north-west later in the afternoon. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
16 degrees in London tomorrow, still very mild. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
A few degrees cooler in Glasgow. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:57 | |
In Wales tomorrow afternoon, there will be some damp, wet weather. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:04 | |
The rain heaviest on the hills and mountains in the west | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
and north-west. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:08 | |
But the rain should start to clear late in the afternoon and | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
into the evening. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:12 | |
Once again, temperatures above average. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:13 | |
Tomorrow night, turning drier and clear everywhere and | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
a much cooler night but still not that cold for this time of year. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
Thursday, a promising start, dry and bright in the morning with | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
some sunshine but it won't last. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:22 | |
The wind will pick up again. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
Rain expected during the afternoon and evening. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
That rain will clear away on Thursday night, | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
Friday a brighter and colder day. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:34 | |
Some sunshine and blustery showers, heavy in places, hail | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
and thunder possible, even a little snow on the top of Mount Snowdon. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:41 | |
Into the weekend, it is all change again. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
Turning mild and windy with more rain and drizzle. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
See you. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:51 | |
That's Wales Today - | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
thank you for watching from all of us on the programme, good night. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:58 |
