0:00:150:00:17

-Every criminal case is a distinct

-challenge for the detective.

0:00:170:00:21

-To discover the truth,

-they need patience and curiosity.

0:00:240:00:29

-Tonight, I'm following

-the trail of the Welshman...

0:00:380:00:41

-..who hid his landlord's body in a

-quarry before fleeing the country...

0:00:410:00:46

-..and how the detectives raced

-to catch him.

0:00:470:00:50

-Swansea Bay, Sunday 2 August, 2015.

0:01:170:01:22

-The police have received a call

-that a 59-year-old man...

0:01:220:01:26

-..called Alec Warburton is missing.

0:01:260:01:28

-We had a call from Alec's brother...

0:01:290:01:33

-..Mr Graham Warburton,

-who lives in the south of England.

0:01:340:01:37

-He was concerned that he hadn't

-spoken to Alec for several days.

0:01:380:01:42

-Originally from Pembrokeshire...

0:01:430:01:46

-..Alec Warburton had lived in

-Swansea for over twenty years.

0:01:460:01:50

-He had just lost his father

-and on the preceding Thursday...

0:01:500:01:54

-..he'd spoken to his brother

-over the phone.

0:01:550:01:58

-But after that,

-he had not answered any calls.

0:01:580:02:01

-This was unusual for him.

0:02:020:02:04

-They spoke every day.

0:02:040:02:06

-They spoke at length.

-Not just for a minute.

0:02:060:02:09

-It wasn't just small talk.

-They discussed things.

0:02:090:02:13

-Then he just disappeared.

0:02:130:02:18

-The police sent welfare officers

-to look for him...

0:02:210:02:24

-..at his home in Sketty.

0:02:250:02:26

-This is where Alec Warburton lived.

0:02:280:02:30

-Number 60, Vivian Road, Sketty,

-Swansea.

0:02:300:02:35

-As you can see, it's a town house

-with three floors.

0:02:360:02:40

-Alec rented rooms in the house

-to various individuals.

0:02:420:02:47

-Some tenants have said that

-they have an explanation.

0:02:490:02:52

-They said that Alec had left them

-a message to say he'd gone away...

0:02:530:02:57

-..to look after a friend

-who was ill.

0:02:570:03:03

-He hadn't told his brother.

-It was odd.

0:03:030:03:05

-The police began to ask questions...

0:03:060:03:08

-..and to look into Alec Warburton's

-movements around the city.

0:03:080:03:12

-After investigating, the police

-knew that Alec Warburton...

0:03:130:03:17

-..had been shopping on the morning

-of 30 July.

0:03:180:03:21

-He also kept an appointment

-at the opticians.

0:03:210:03:24

-But there was no record

-of his movements after that.

0:03:240:03:28

-These are the last pictures

-the police have of Alec Warburton.

0:03:300:03:35

-Then, Graham Warburton received

-two texts...

0:03:420:03:45

-..sent from his brother's phone

-saying that he'd gone away...

0:03:460:03:50

-..and not to send the police

-to his house.

0:03:500:03:53

-But his brother never wrote his name

-like that at the end of a text.

0:03:580:04:03

-The text wasn't what he would

-usually receive.

0:04:040:04:08

-Also, the language used and

-the explanation wasn't like Alec.

0:04:080:04:12

-Graham knew something was wrong.

0:04:120:04:14

-When the police returned to

-the house to question the tenants...

0:04:190:04:23

-..they began to suspect the story

-of one tenant in particular.

0:04:230:04:27

-His name was David Ellis.

0:04:270:04:29

-David Ellis had been a tenant

-since May.

0:04:320:04:34

-He lived in a room

-on the ground floor.

0:04:350:04:38

-When Alec Warburton disappeared...

0:04:380:04:40

-..the other tenants received

-a letter...

0:04:410:04:43

-..telling them to pay their rent

-to David Ellis.

0:04:440:04:47

-The tenants thought it was odd...

0:04:480:04:50

-..because David Ellis was the last

-person to move into the house.

0:04:500:04:55

-When he was questioned by police...

0:04:570:04:59

-..David Ellis said that he'd paid

-the money - over 900...

0:05:000:05:03

-..into the landlord's account.

0:05:040:05:06

-But the following morning,

-when police contacted the bank...

0:05:110:05:15

-..no money had been paid in.

0:05:150:05:17

-When the police returned

-to the house...

0:05:200:05:23

-..there was no sign of David Ellis.

0:05:230:05:25

-No money had ever been deposited.

0:05:290:05:31

-That's when suspicions

-were raised...

0:05:320:05:34

-..that something untoward

-had happened to Alec.

0:05:340:05:38

-On Wednesday, 5 August, the home

-address became a crime scene.

0:05:380:05:44

-"Police and forensics

-have been at the scene."

0:05:460:05:49

-These are the pictures

-filmed by the police...

0:05:520:05:55

-..as their forensic experts examined

-the house and David Ellis' room.

0:05:550:06:00

-A piece of carpet had been cut away.

0:06:000:06:03

-It's possible that there was blood

-in the room too.

0:06:030:06:08

-It looked as if efforts had been

-made to clean up the blood.

0:06:080:06:14

-The bed had been moved back...

0:06:170:06:19

-..because behind where the bed

-had been, there was no blood.

0:06:190:06:24

-But when we moved the bed back...

0:06:240:06:26

-..there was blood on the wood of the

-bed that fitted the pattern exactly.

0:06:260:06:31

-They tested the blood, and it proved

-to be a match to Alec Warburton.

0:06:340:06:39

-Further investigation

-in the chimney breast...

0:06:430:06:46

-..revealed that there was arcing

-of blood.

0:06:460:06:49

-It was low down, low level...

0:06:490:06:51

-..which led us to understand that

-the assault happened low down...

0:06:510:06:56

-..most likely when Alec

-was on the floor.

0:06:560:06:58

-Clearly, we were aware

-that there was an assault.

0:07:020:07:05

-That Alec would have bled heavily

-in that room...

0:07:060:07:09

-..and that we were therefore

-looking at a potential murder.

0:07:090:07:13

-The news was a tremendous shock

-to his brother and family.

0:07:170:07:22

-They couldn't believe it.

0:07:220:07:24

-It seemed incredible to them...

0:07:240:07:27

-..that the last time Graham

-spoke to him...

0:07:280:07:31

-..he was on his way to Specsavers

-to get new glasses.

0:07:320:07:35

-He heard nothing more,

-then he got the bad news from me.

0:07:350:07:41

-It was very hard for him.

0:07:410:07:43

-The race to find David Ellis

-was now on for the detectives.

0:07:460:07:51

-After trawling through hours

-of CCTV footage...

0:07:510:07:55

-..they came across these pictures

-of him in a green jumper...

0:07:550:07:58

-..in Swansea on August 4.

0:07:590:08:01

-I divided the team so we had

-a two pronged approach.

0:08:020:08:05

-One was the search,

-and the manhunt for David Ellis.

0:08:050:08:09

-The other was the body search

-for a deposition site...

0:08:090:08:13

-..so that we could bring Alec back

-and lay him to rest properly.

0:08:130:08:19

-We were looking for a needle

-in a haystack...

0:08:190:08:22

-..but I didn't even know

-where the haystack was.

0:08:220:08:26

-Questioning people door to door...

0:08:290:08:32

-..detectives discovered that Ellis

-was a member of the city library.

0:08:320:08:37

-The police visited this library.

0:08:390:08:41

-They discovered that David Ellis had

-been researching on the Internet...

0:08:410:08:46

-..and had used the printer.

0:08:460:08:48

-The detectives now suspected that

-he was responsible for printing...

0:08:480:08:53

-..and leaving the letter

-for the tenants...

0:08:530:08:56

-..and not the landlord,

-Alec Warburton.

0:08:560:08:59

-CCTV images also proved that David

-Ellis was printing something...

0:09:010:09:06

-..in the library on July 28...

0:09:070:09:09

-..two days before Alec Warburton

-disappeared.

0:09:090:09:12

-The landlord's car was also missing.

0:09:170:09:20

-The police searched for it

-on ANPR cameras...

0:09:210:09:24

-..that recognise

-car registration numbers.

0:09:240:09:27

-On August 1, the car travelled

-to North Wales on the A470.

0:09:290:09:33

-It was seen driving towards

-Betws-y-Coed.

0:09:340:09:37

-Just after midnight, who was seen on

-CCTV in the high street there?

0:09:430:09:48

-David Ellis.

0:09:480:09:51

-David Ellis slept overnight in the

-car in the car park in Betws-y-Coed.

0:09:550:09:59

-A police officer questioned him...

0:10:000:10:02

-..but before he had a chance

-to inspect the car...

0:10:020:10:05

-..he was called away

-to an emergency.

0:10:060:10:08

-Unbeknown to that police officer,

-there was key evidence...

0:10:080:10:12

-..in the boot of the car.

0:10:120:10:14

-We had a picture of the car

-travelling to North Wales.

0:10:180:10:23

-In the picture, a white package is

-visible in the back of the car...

0:10:230:10:29

-..with some yellow rope.

0:10:290:10:32

-The day after that, we received

-another picture of the same car...

0:10:380:10:42

-..travelling back to South Wales.

0:10:420:10:45

-The package was no longer

-in the car.

0:10:450:10:47

-The police knew that Ellis

-had travelled back to Swansea.

0:10:500:10:55

-But overnight, the car disappeared

-from the ANPR cameras.

0:10:550:11:00

-Experts began to search

-for every number and model...

0:11:030:11:07

-..similar to the car on the system.

0:11:070:11:09

-What he'd done was

-use insulation tape.

0:11:100:11:15

-He'd put it

-over the number plate...

0:11:150:11:19

-..changing two numbers on the plate.

0:11:190:11:22

-He changed the letters HFJ to HEU.

0:11:240:11:29

-We ran the same PR

-on the new number...

0:11:300:11:33

-..and we found it at the port

-in Birkenhead.

0:11:330:11:37

-Merseyside Police found the car

-in the Stena Line car park.

0:11:390:11:44

-In the car, there was black tape,

-Domestos, wipes and yellow rope.

0:11:440:11:50

-There was blood in the car and that

-proved to belong to Alec Warburton.

0:11:510:11:56

-Also a fingerprint belonging to

-David Ellis was found on the car.

0:11:570:12:03

-But there was no sign of Ellis

-himself.

0:12:050:12:08

-Detectives found these pictures

-on CCTV.

0:12:100:12:13

-It shows Ellis buying a ticket,

-leaving...

0:12:130:12:17

-..then returning

-to the waiting room...

0:12:170:12:19

-..having changed his clothes

-and hat.

0:12:200:12:22

-He left on a boat to Belfast

-on August 5.

0:12:240:12:28

-It would be difficult now

-for the detectives to find him.

0:12:290:12:33

-It was important that we catch him.

0:12:340:12:36

-We were days behind him and time

-was on his side, not on ours.

0:12:360:12:42

-The landlord's body was still

-missing.

0:12:430:12:46

-Where was Alec?

-What had happened to him?

0:12:470:12:49

-As every day went by,

-I was conscious in my mind...

0:12:500:12:53

-..that we were losing opportunities

-to gather forensic evidence.

0:12:530:12:57

-David Ellis had fled Wales.

0:13:020:13:05

-The detectives were under pressure

-to find answers.

0:13:050:13:09

-And find them fast.

-August 2015.

0:13:280:13:30

-South Wales Police were searching

-for the killer...

0:13:300:13:33

-..of landlord, Alec Warburton.

0:13:330:13:36

-The suspect, David Ellis,

-had fled to Ireland.

0:13:360:13:42

-The detectives had to rely on Garda

-officers to find him.

0:13:420:13:46

-They were also searching

-for Alec Warburton's body.

0:13:520:13:55

-With the help of

-North Wales Police...

0:13:550:13:58

-..detectives began to search

-in the Dolwyddelan area...

0:13:580:14:02

-..where David Ellis was raised.

0:14:030:14:05

-We wanted to find the body

-more than anything at that time.

0:14:050:14:09

-The family were very concerned

-about where he was.

0:14:090:14:13

-David Ellis was a 41-year-old

-Welsh-speaking Welshman.

0:14:170:14:21

-His family still lived

-in Dolwyddelan.

0:14:210:14:24

-He moved to South Wales

-after a spell in prison.

0:14:250:14:28

-David Ellis was a sex offender.

0:14:310:14:33

-He was in prison for five years for

-a sexual attack on a woman in 1996.

0:14:330:14:37

-The team were under immense pressure

-to catch this dangerous man...

0:14:380:14:42

-..who seemed to have escaped.

0:14:420:14:44

-He was on

-the Sex Offenders Register.

0:14:480:14:50

-He was supposed to report

-his movements to the police.

0:14:500:14:54

-After searching for a month,

-the Garda in Ireland...

0:14:550:14:59

-..found him at a Bed and Breakfast

-in Galway.

0:14:590:15:02

-He was arrested for failing

-to register his address...

0:15:020:15:06

-..while he was in Ireland.

0:15:060:15:08

-While in custody,

-he shared a secret with them.

0:15:110:15:14

-He showed them a map on his phone.

0:15:140:15:16

-He said that

-there was a body there...

0:15:170:15:19

-..that would be of interest

-to the police in Wales.

0:15:190:15:22

-The location was the old Prince

-Llewellyn Slate Quarry, Dolwyddelan.

0:15:230:15:27

-Detectives from North Wales Police

-went to examine the site.

0:15:320:15:37

-I noticed that the fence

-was broken here...

0:15:420:15:45

-..and it was possible that the body

-has been thrown over the edge.

0:15:450:15:51

-I think that the car drove

-down the track to here.

0:15:520:15:55

-David Ellis could see that the coast

-was clear both ways...

0:15:550:16:00

-..and that he could do whatever he

-wanted here and no-one would notice.

0:16:000:16:04

-On closer examination...

0:16:070:16:09

-..they saw something white on the

-quarry floor amid the rubbish.

0:16:090:16:13

-But there was a hundred foot drop

-over the edge.

0:16:150:16:18

-It was too dangerous for the police

-to examine the area.

0:16:180:16:22

-They needed expert help from the

-Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue team.

0:16:230:16:27

-It's a remote spot.

0:16:420:16:44

-It was very difficult

-for the police...

0:16:440:16:47

-..to access the quarry

-and retrieve the body.

0:16:470:16:50

-As a Mountain Rescue team,

-we have the skills and equipment...

0:16:500:16:54

-..to set up a system of ropes

-to enter the quarry.

0:16:550:16:58

-After abseiling down, they spotted

-a naked body amid the rubbish.

0:17:020:17:07

-The body had decomposed.

-It had been there for weeks.

0:17:070:17:11

-At the far end of the quarry,

-there is a cave.

0:17:160:17:21

-Where we're looking now,

-the body was on the left hand side.

0:17:210:17:25

-At the farthest end of the quarry.

0:17:260:17:28

-It had obviously been dropped

-from the top over there...

0:17:280:17:32

-..down to the very bottom.

0:17:320:17:34

-How did you get the body

-out of there?

0:17:360:17:38

-We went round to the far end.

0:17:380:17:40

-We set up an anchor and

-a rope system right above the body.

0:17:400:17:46

-Then, using the ropes...

0:17:460:17:49

-..we lifted the stretcher

-containing the body.

0:17:490:17:54

-A team of police underwater experts

-were there too.

0:17:550:17:58

-They all made sure that the forensic

-evidence was secured in bags.

0:17:590:18:05

-It was very important for us not to

-destroy any part of the evidence.

0:18:050:18:09

-The care we took in this respect

-was just as important...

0:18:100:18:14

-..as the techniques we used

-to retrieve the body.

0:18:140:18:17

-It was obvious that David Ellis

-had chosen the location carefully.

0:18:190:18:23

-He had connections to the area.

-He knew about the quarry.

0:18:230:18:27

-The quarry is little known

-and is closed.

0:18:280:18:30

-In his mind, he knew he could take

-the body somewhere...

0:18:320:18:35

-..it would never be found.

0:18:350:18:37

-But now, his plan was unravelling.

0:18:410:18:43

-Dental records confirmed...

0:18:430:18:45

-..that the body in the quarry

-was that of Alec Warburton.

0:18:450:18:49

-It was a great relief to be able

-to tell the family...

0:18:510:18:54

-..that we were bringing Alec home.

0:18:550:18:57

-It was a major breakthrough for the

-team to know that he had been found.

0:18:570:19:02

-The post-mortem showed

-that Alec Warburton...

0:19:090:19:13

-..had suffered serious

-head injuries.

0:19:130:19:15

-According to the pathologist, these

-would have killed him in seconds.

0:19:150:19:21

-The majority of those injuries,

-of which there were six defects...

0:19:230:19:28

-..matched damage to the underlying

-skull.

0:19:280:19:31

-On this plastic skull, you can see

-a rough diagram of the injuries.

0:19:310:19:35

-The large black areas are the holes

-in the skull.

0:19:360:19:40

-This one here, particularly, which

-measured four centimetres across...

0:19:400:19:44

-..was a complete

-through and through hole.

0:19:440:19:47

-From the position of the wounds

-on the scalp and the skull...

0:19:470:19:51

-..it looks like Mr Warburton was

-attacked from behind with a hammer.

0:19:510:19:56

-David Ellis was charged with murder.

0:20:010:20:04

-After obtaining

-a European Arrest Warrant...

0:20:040:20:07

-..South Wales Police brought him

-back from Ireland to face a jury.

0:20:070:20:11

-On June 8, 2016,

-at Swansea Crown Court...

0:20:140:20:18

-..David Ellis pleaded guilty

-to manslaughter.

0:20:190:20:22

-But he denied murder.

0:20:220:20:24

-The letter he left for the tenants

-became a key part of the case.

0:20:290:20:34

-The police had sent the letter and

-the printer from Swansea Library...

0:20:350:20:40

-..to a forensic expert.

0:20:400:20:42

-Some printers produce

-a yellow dot pattern...

0:20:430:20:46

-..which is invisible

-to the naked eye.

0:20:460:20:49

-But it can be enhanced

-using specialist equipment.

0:20:490:20:52

-These dot patterns are unique

-to particular printers.

0:20:530:20:56

-It's almost like a fingerprint

-for the printer itself.

0:20:560:21:00

-It denotes specialist decoded

-information...

0:21:000:21:03

-..such as serial number,

-make and model.

0:21:030:21:06

-With this particular examination,

-I examined the question note first.

0:21:060:21:10

-A dot pattern did become apparent.

0:21:110:21:13

-It was enhanced with the lighting

-techniques.

0:21:130:21:16

-On the specimen document,

-a dot pattern was also enhanced.

0:21:160:21:19

-Both of these dot patterns

-were identical.

0:21:200:21:22

-This meant that they had to have

-come from the same printer.

0:21:220:21:26

-With this evidence and the pictures

-of Ellis in the library...

0:21:260:21:31

-..two days before his landlord

-disappeared...

0:21:310:21:34

-..the prosecution argued that Ellis

-intended and planned to kill.

0:21:340:21:39

-For me that was

-a level of premeditation.

0:21:390:21:42

-He had clearly planned to murder

-Alec, most likely for money.

0:21:430:21:47

-In court, David Ellis denied

-intention to murder.

0:21:510:21:54

-He alleged that the landlord had

-asked him for sexual favours.

0:21:550:21:59

-He said that he had lost his temper

-and hit him.

0:21:590:22:03

-But the jury didn't believe him.

0:22:030:22:05

-After two hours and ten minutes...

0:22:050:22:08

-..they decided that David Ellis

-was guilty of murder.

0:22:080:22:12

-He was jailed for life by the judge.

0:22:120:22:15

-How did you feel

-after the guilty verdict?

0:22:290:22:31

-I was very pleased.

-Mainly for the family.

0:22:320:22:35

-I wanted them to have closure.

0:22:350:22:38

-I was pleased for the team too.

0:22:400:22:42

-We'd put almost a year's work

-into the investigation.

0:22:420:22:46

-To prove that he was lying in court.

0:22:460:22:49

-The team were very pleased.

0:22:490:22:51

-He was a very good landlord

-to the tenants.

0:22:530:22:56

-They were all affected

-by his death...

0:22:560:22:59

-..which was untimely

-and very unnecessary.

0:22:590:23:02

-It was committed by a very

-manipulative, evil individual.

0:23:020:23:06

-He was a man who wanted everything

-to be good.

0:23:120:23:14

-He enjoyed his life.

0:23:150:23:18

-He lost his life

-over something so simple.

0:23:180:23:22

-It's incredible that someone would

-do such a thing for money.
