:01:12. > :01:13.The actions of Peter Morgan were calculated and he committed
:01:14. > :01:17.Hopefully this conviction will bring some closure to the family, in terms
:01:18. > :01:21.But we are in no doubt that Georgina's family and friends
:01:22. > :01:27.will continue to mourn and grieve for the rest of their lives.

:01:46. > :01:47.eventually dumped the body of 25-year-old Georgina Symonds.
:01:48. > :01:52.But in 2012, going through something of a midlife crisis,
:01:53. > :01:54.the married father of two started seeing escorts.
:01:55. > :02:01.Georgina Symonds became the centre of his world.
:02:02. > :02:04.For more than three years, he pampered with luxury
:02:05. > :02:06.gifts and fast cars, took her on helicopter flights,
:02:07. > :02:09.paid for full body lyposuction, and gave her an income of up
:02:10. > :02:15.Holed up in the grounds of Pencoed Castle, she descended
:02:16. > :02:18.into a spiral of drug and alcohol abuse, following the suicide of her
:02:19. > :02:24.She became abusive towards Morgan, she threatened to blackmail him,
:02:25. > :02:28.He put a covert recording device in the bungalow,
:02:29. > :02:34.With the device in place, Morgan accessed the bug 514 times

:02:47. > :02:48.and her new boyfriend, Thomas Ballinger, for up
:02:49. > :02:57.But the prosecution say one particular conversation enraged him.
:02:58. > :03:00.He heard her saying, once he signs the bungalow over,
:03:01. > :03:06.I'm going to London to work as an escort.
:03:07. > :03:10.The court heard that conversation is a possible catalyst for the chain
:03:11. > :03:15.The day before he killed her, Morgan was caught on his own CCTV
:03:16. > :03:17.picking up equipment from a barn in his 4X4.
:03:18. > :03:20.A note found by police on his iPhone was a shopping list
:03:21. > :03:23.of what he'd need to carry out what the prosecution
:03:24. > :03:24.called a premeditated and well-planned murder.
:03:25. > :03:26.He admitted strangling her with a home-made ligature made
:03:27. > :03:29.of bailing twine as he sat next to her on the sofa

:03:38. > :03:39.It shows Peter Morgan arriving here at Beech Hill farm
:03:40. > :03:43.The prosecution say he made a secure package of Georgina's body,
:03:44. > :03:45.using plastic sheeting and tape and they say the video
:03:46. > :03:48.shows him removing her body from the back of his car,
:03:49. > :03:50.bound and trussed up, and attached to a metal pole
:03:51. > :03:53.to enable him to carry it into the barn.
:03:54. > :03:55.At first, he told police he did not know where Georgina was.
:03:56. > :04:05.But within hours, he was confessing to killing her.
:04:06. > :04:07.I had the intention to kill her, didn't I?
:04:08. > :04:10.The trouble was, once I'd sort of attempted to murder her,
:04:11. > :04:14.I'd be in a hell of a lot of trouble for that, and she would
:04:15. > :04:24.still have gone on and blackmailed me, couldn't she?
:04:25. > :04:27.Peter Morgan had always admitted the killing but his defence said
:04:28. > :04:30.he was only guilty of manslaughter because he was on the
:04:31. > :04:35.Today, that was dismissed by the jury, who found him guilty
:04:36. > :04:39.As her family continue to grieve, they say her death has left them
:04:40. > :04:42.broken and devastated and no sentence will be long enough
:04:43. > :04:51.There is some uncertainty tonight over whether a deal to guarantee
:04:52. > :04:54.steel-making at Tata sites in Wales, including at the UK's largest works
:04:55. > :04:58.The two biggest unions at Port Talbot say they will leave
:04:59. > :05:00.it to workers to decide whether to accept the proposals
:05:01. > :05:04.The deal would see changes to the pension scheme but would also
:05:05. > :05:11.include a billion pounds of investment.
:05:12. > :05:14.I think they feel that they are being a bit railroaded into it.
:05:15. > :05:18.I spoke to quite a few people over the weekend who said we don't really
:05:19. > :05:21.think this is a good deal but this is the only game in town,
:05:22. > :05:24.to be honest, and it is giving a lifeline of five, seven,
:05:25. > :05:27.At least it is giving secure long-term jobs
:05:28. > :05:36.At Cardiff Crown Court three men have been jailed for a total of 90
:05:37. > :05:38.years for the murder of a 29-year-old man.
:05:39. > :05:40.Dad-to-be Lynford Brewster was attacked and stabbed
:05:41. > :05:44.Dwayne Edgar and Jake Whelan, both from Cardiff, and Robert Lainsbury
:05:45. > :05:51.from Worcester laughed as they were handed life sentences.
:05:52. > :05:54.A 69-year-old man has been jailed for 13 years for historic child
:05:55. > :05:56.sexual offences committed over a number of years in Anglesey.
:05:57. > :05:58.Robert John Parry from Trefor, appeared before
:05:59. > :06:15.He will be placed on the Sex Offenders Register for life.
:06:16. > :06:17.Unreliable mobile phone signals can be hugely frustrating,
:06:18. > :06:19.so spare a thought for people who live in areas where
:06:20. > :06:23.Now planning rules could be changed to help tackle mobile not-spots.
:06:24. > :06:26.Changes have already been introduced in England and the UK Government
:06:27. > :06:30.Mobile phone companies can put masts of up to 25 metres
:06:31. > :06:32.in England and it's only now the Welsh Government
:06:33. > :06:36.They then need to try and decide on their policy and then they need
:06:37. > :06:39.to legislate in order to bring about those changes,
:06:40. > :06:42.so I fear that Wales could be maybe up to 12 months behind England again
:06:43. > :06:51.Last month Tesco opened in Aberystwyth,
:06:52. > :06:53.and the next big brand store, Marks and Spencer,
:06:54. > :06:57.But there are objections tonight to a proposed sign at the site
:06:58. > :07:02.M bosses say 'food hall' is now a brand name and isn't translated
:07:03. > :07:12.But Ceredigion councillors want all signs to be bilingual.
:07:13. > :07:14.Although, it is one sign, it is very important in giving
:07:15. > :07:17.an image of what M is about and as a main part
:07:18. > :07:20.of the town, we would like M to put up this sign bilingually
:07:21. > :07:23.and they will reap the benefits like other businesses in the town
:07:24. > :07:44.Football and in the FA Cup, Newport County have failed to make it
:07:45. > :07:48.through to the third round and a lucrative tie against Liverpool
:07:49. > :07:54.after defeat tonight against Plymouth. It ended goalless after 90
:07:55. > :07:58.minutes. Plymouth were awarded two penalties in extra time. They missed
:07:59. > :08:06.the first but made no mistake with the second. Time for a look at the
:08:07. > :08:10.weather forecast now. Today was the winter solstice but
:08:11. > :08:14.the weather not particularly wintry at the moment. If anything, it is
:08:15. > :08:18.going to turn increasingly windy and quite wet over the next few days. If
:08:19. > :08:24.we take a look at the map, overnight rain clearing, temperatures dropping
:08:25. > :08:31.lower than recent nights. Falling close to freezing inland with fog
:08:32. > :08:36.and mist. Tomorrow, any early mist will clear. A lot of dry weather but
:08:37. > :08:39.a few scattered showers as well. Across the UK, the best of the
:08:40. > :08:44.bright and breezy weather across southern and eastern England.
:08:45. > :08:49.Showers more likely in the West. A chance those showers could be wintry
:08:50. > :08:58.in the hills across Scotland. Feeling cold in those strong winds.
:08:59. > :09:03.Showers easing later across Wales. Bright and blustery and feeling
:09:04. > :09:07.cooler than recent days. Tomorrow night starts fairly calm but
:09:08. > :09:12.overnight, winds pick up and a deep area of low pressure moves in.
:09:13. > :09:16.Scotland will bear the brunt of storm Barbra but Northwest Wales is
:09:17. > :09:22.in the warning zone. There will be some rain but the emphasis on strong
:09:23. > :09:28.winds. A potential for travel destruction. These are the average
:09:29. > :09:36.wind speeds for Friday. Gusts will be stronger. Heavy rain pushing in
:09:37. > :09:39.from the North West. And then that system should clear on Friday night
:09:40. > :09:50.into Saturday morning. Still very blustery. And then more rain and a
:09:51. > :09:52.warning of strong winds overnight into Christmas Day.
:09:53. > :10:01.From all of us on the programme, good night.
:10:02. > :10:04.There's family tradition of difficult Christmases.
:10:05. > :10:06.Ben dropping a frozen turkey on Mum's foot.
:10:07. > :10:09.Put me down! No, we talked about this.
