Investigative journalist, David Rose of The Mail on Sunday revealed extraordinary evidence that cast grave doubt on David Morris' conviction and asked the key question:
'Who REALLY murdered married WPC's lesbian lover?'
This article is still relevant today. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2845510/Who-REALLY-murdered-married-WPC-s-lesbian-lover.html
David Rose states:
"Dr. Brian Thornton, a senior lecturer from Winchester University... found thousands of pages of records taken from the police HOLMES computer system which had never emerged in court. As he dug more deeply, he realised that the unknown police officer who produced them had done something very peculiar. The obvious thing to have done would have been simply to print out the various documents direct from HOLMES. But, instead and for unexplained reasons, an officer copied and pasted the text of each one into Notepad, a common Microsoft app.This operation must have taken hundreds of hours. There is a big difference between HOLMES and Notepad. The text of HOLMES files cannot be changed, once data has been entered. However, as with any word processing programme, Notepad files can be altered. It is not known whether the HOLMES documents were disclosed to the defence or why they did not regard the fuller version of the document as significant.
Here and there within the mass of paper were just a handful of original HOLMES documents. In a few cases, Thornton was able to compare the original HOLMES version with the later Notepad printout. One document in particular had been severely edited, so that in the later, Notepad version, its original, apparently significant, meaning was totally obscured. The edited version of what was known as ‘Action 92’ – a logged record of an earlier ‘message’, known as ‘Message 23’ – said merely that there was a ‘source of information stating that Mandy Power [was] being threatened’. It made no mention of who made these alleged threats, or why. But the original printout was far more detailed. It said that on the day following the discovery of the bodies, ‘Message 23’ came into the murder inquiry incident room. It came from a detective serving with the now-defunct National Crime Squad, who had been contacted by a registered informant. It stated: ‘I’ve just been contacted by an informant who stated that he knew Mandy Power and she was gay, and that she has been drinking in Farmers PH [public house] Clydach. Informant stated 3 weeks ago he overheard conversation Mandy was having with 2 females who stated that her and her kids had been threatened by her current lover’s husband who was a police officer.’
The informant was a neighbour of Mandy’s, David ‘Pancho’ Powell. He later made a statement, which like the HOLMES documents, did not emerge at either trial."
