E18 – The Clydach Murders

**This Episode contains sensitive content**

The crime that took place on a Sunday morning in 1999, was so gruesome that it
was described as an “orgy of savagery” by the prosecuting counsel. Four people from the same family lost their lives in the lower Swansea Valley during an attack that resulted in the most extensive murder investigations ever carried out by South Wales Police.
Eventually, a man was arrested, convicted and sentenced to prison for the murders of
Mandy Power, her two daughters, Katie and Emily, and her mother, Doris Dawson.
And still, many feel like justice was miscarried.
