A three-bed semi-detached house in Clydach, a village in the Swansea Valley, that was the scene of a murder that took the lives of an entire family has just come onto the market with an asking price of offers over £175,000.
Number 9, Kelvin Road was the home of 34-year-old Mandy Power, her 80-year-old mum Doris and her two young daughters Katie, 10 and Emily, eight. On June 27, 1999 the family were murdered and the house set on fire in an attempt to destroy evidence that was unsuccessful due to the quick arrival of firefighters.
The killing of the family in their own home prompted one of the biggest murder investigations ever by a Welsh police force. The investigation led to the conviction of local man David Morris on two occasions; firstly at Swansea Crown Court in 2002, a verdict which was overturned on appeal, and then subsequently following a retrial at Newport Crown Court in 2006.
