It was one of the most shocking nights ever to have taken place in Swansea. The community of Mayhill witnessed sickening devastation and damage in May 2021 after what was supposed to be a peaceful vigil for a local teenager who had died turned violent.
Those involved in the rioting ranged from schoolchildren to men in their 40s, and as a result of the disturbance seven families have now left the Mayhill area or want to do so. Many of those who were involved that evening are now behind bars, after being sentenced by a leading Swansea judge in December.
Here, we've looked back at the terrible events of that evening, and revisited the scene of the crime to find out how life is now for those living along Waun Wen Road and its surrounding area. Get Swansea stories straight to your inbox with our newsletter.
