Keith Hughes is jailed for life; he strangled his fiance and left her | :00:11. | :00:17. | |
And an expert on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder says | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
patients here are suffering because of "woefully inadequate" services. | :00:22. | :00:32. | |
A man from Swansea has been jailed for life, after strangling his | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
Keith Hughes attacked Stacey Gwilym as they walked on the | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
He then tried to hide her body in undergrowth. | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
On the surface they were the happy couple, but this was a deeply | :00:47. | :00:59. | |
troubled relationship. Keith Hughes and Stacy Gwylim had been together | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
before, but in 2013 he was jailed for more than three years after | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
attacking her. When he was released, they got engaged, but the | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
relationship broke down again. Hughes begged for her to go for a | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
walk on the Gower to persuade her to get back with him. It was in July | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
earlier this year when Keith and Stacy walked along this coastal | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
path. They started arguing and, when things became heated, Hughes | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
strangled Stacy. When she became unconscious, he tried to hide her | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
body off the path, using leaves and branches to cover it. He then took | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
her car keys and bank card and left her for dead. When she came to, she | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
crawled out of the undergrowth. She was taken to hospital where she was | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
put in a medically induced coma for 14 days. She still walks with a | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
stick and doesn't know if she'll ever recover. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
In court today, a victim impact statement was read out on her | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
behalf. Her words are read by a BBC journalist. I think a part of me did | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
die out on that coastal path. When I woke, I couldn't speak or eat and | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
was very weak. I have constant flashbacks and panic attacks and | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
have become extremely withdrawn and quiet. I will never fully trust a | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
man again. Stacy wasn't in court but her family left after hearing the | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
judge describe the person who beat their loved one as a man with a | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
volcanic temper. On sentencing, the judge said he considered this such a | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
serious offence that life imprisonment was appropriate. Keith | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
Hughes will serve eight-and-a-half years in jail before he's even | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
considered for release. The judge said, that will only happen if he | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
proves himself to no longer be a danger to the public or any future | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
partners. Cardiff Council is planning to | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
increase the cost of school meals by 10p, cut arts funding, | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
and put up council tax by 4.5% The local authority, the largest | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
in Wales, says it needs to plug The plans will now go | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
out to consultation. The Vice-Chancellor of | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
Aberystwyth University has announced she'll step down next July | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
after five years at the helm. During her tenure, | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
April McMahon refuted allegations that the university was being run | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
"like a dictatorship" following She says she's immensely proud | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
of the work she has done there. The relative of a woman who was | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
imprisoned by her own father, Aravindan Balakrishnan, has said | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
she feels hatred towards him. Eleri Morgan was a cousin | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
of the victim's mother, Sian Davies from Tregaron who was a follower | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
of his cult for two decades. Ms Morgan has told BBC Wales that | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
she believes Balakrishnan forbade any contact between Sian, | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
and her family in Ceredigion, Bal-krishnan was convicted today | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
of a string of sexual assaults. Out of the blue in July of 96, she | :03:55. | :04:13. | |
rang me and I was not sure to begin with, I was shocked. She said it was | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
Sian and I happen to know a few and she told me it was her cousin. We | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
spoke for a while and I thought, keep her talking, she wanted to find | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
out about the family. I did ask where are you and she wouldn't say. | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
I said can we meet somewhere neutral for a cup of tea or something and | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
she said she'd ring me back and she never did. I think it was the | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
beginning of her wanting to come back to the family really. | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
It's a condition which affects around 1 in 50 people. | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
But a mental health expert in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
says patients in Wales are suffering unnecessarily, | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
Professor Paul Salkofskis, who leads a specialist unit | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
in Bristol, has described provision here as "woefully inadequate". | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
The Welsh Government says it expects all Welsh health boards to be able | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
to offer appropriate care, as Caroline Evans reports. | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
It's an anxiety related condition sometimes aserviated with compulsive | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
cleaning. A mental health problem regarded as relatively common, but | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
it can be extreme. John Lewis's daughter is 26. She's a prisoner to | :05:29. | :05:37. | |
the illness in terms of her whole day more or less is spent either | :05:38. | :05:46. | |
preparing, cleaning, in readiness for eating or cleaning herself. The | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
BBC recently won an award from the mental health charity MIND for its | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
portrayal of the condition. With around 2% of the population said to | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
be affected by it, one expert from England is warning patients in Wales | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
are being let down. It concerns me we are seeing patients who, with | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
much more rudimentary type of treatment than we are offering, | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
would have resolved the problems before they got to us are being | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
missed. I'm seeing that more with Welsh patients than with patients | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
from Scotland, Ireland and England. The Welsh Government says ?600 | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
million a year is being spent on mental health and expects all Welsh | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
health boards and mental Health Service providers to be able to | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
offer appropriate interventions. Four of the seven Welsh health | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
boards who commented to the BBC told us they do employ experts to deal | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
with a number of conditions, including OCD. In the drama, the | :06:45. | :06:57. | |
patient does learn to live with the condition. Manon's father is | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
considering paying for his daughter's treatment privately. | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
Wales' players and the FA of Wales are in talks to resolve | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
a dispute over bonuses for qualifying for Euro 2016. | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
It's understood that before the campaign, the FAW offered the squad | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
a seven-figure bonus but, after qualification, the offer was lower. | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
BBC Wales Sport has learned a group of senior players, including Gareth | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
The FAW insists there's no dispute and such talks are commonplace. | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
Rugby; Cardiff Blues have beaten Pro 12 leaders Connacht 20-16 to claim | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
only their second league win of the season at the Arms Park, with | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
A Flintshire man has taken part in the first wheelchair match. He lost | :07:39. | :07:54. | |
his fight against Paul Robinson by three points. | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
Now, Scottish Power says they're working to restore supplies to | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
around three hundred customers who are without power in North Wales | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
tonight, mainly in the Conwy and Corwen areas, after suspected | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
And this wind and rain doesn't seem to be going anywhere, does it Benny? | :08:08. | :08:17. | |
We have had gusts of up to 84mph in some areas and those winds continue | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
into tomorrow. Through tonight, the rain is heavy | :08:24. | :08:32. | |
at times across North Wales, the potential for flooding is there. We | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
have strong to gale force winds to go with it which could bring down | :08:37. | :08:44. | |
some trees or power lines with it. A mild night, temperatures ranging | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
between nine to 12, associated with a storm bringing much of the wet and | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
windy weather to the northern parts of the British Isles. We have a bit | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
sneaking into North Wales. First thing tomorrow, it's a wet start, | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
the rain will ease, the strong winds continuing, gales or severe gales | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
possible. There is a warning for the wind and rain. Further south and | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
east, drier with limited amounts of brightness. Much of the wet weather | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
across Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern parts of England, further | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
south and east drier but cloudy, temperatures ranging from seven to | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
12. Here in Wales tomorrow afternoon, rain continuing across | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
Anglesey and the north coast. Further south and east drier, | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
temperatures on the mild side for the time of year between 11 to 12. | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
Strong winds continuing into tomorrow night with a band of | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
persistent rain spreading south and east. It's another mild night into | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
the early hours of Sunday. Good news, the winds ease a bit on | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
Sunday, the rain bands clear. Some brightness, then by the evening more | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
rain spreading up from the south. That's the forecast. | :09:50. | :09:50. | |
Our next update will be at 6.30 tomorrow evening. | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
But that's Wales Today, from all of us here good night. | :09:53. | :09:57. |
