The Clydach Murders: Murder or Miscarriage of Justice? | Ep. 264
Episode 264
Wednesday, 22 July, 2026
In the early hours of June 27, 1999, firefighters were called to a house fire in the quiet Swansea village of Clydach. As they entered the smoke-filled home on Kelvin Road, they made a horrifying discovery. Four members of the same family had been brutally murdered, and the fire had been deliberately started in an apparent attempt to destroy the evidence. The deaths of Mandy Power, her daughters Katie and Emily, and her elderly mother Doris Dawson would leave an entire community in mourning and spark one of the largest murder investigations in Welsh history.The Clydach murders shocked Wales and quickly became one of Britain's most controversial criminal cases. A local man, David "Dai" Morris, was convicted twice of the murders, yet he maintained his innocence until his death in 2021. Over the years, appeals, forensic reviews, investigative documentaries and claims of a miscarriage of justice have continued to divide opinion, leaving many to ask whether the right man was convicted or whether crucial questions remain unanswered.In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, we examine the 1999 Clydach murders in detail. We look at the lives of Mandy, Doris, Katie and Emily before tragedy struck, the events of that June night, the investigation that eventually led detectives to David Morris, and the evidence presented during two separate murder trials. We also explore the controversy that has surrounded the convictions for more than two decades, the arguments put forward by both supporters and critics of the investigation, and the lasting impact the murders have had on the families involved and the close-knit community of Clydach.Exclusive content:Patreon - Ad Free, Early Access, Exclusive EpisodesFollow the show:British Murders with Stuart BluesDisclaimer:The case discussed in this podcast episode is real and represents the worst day in many people's lives.
