Of course we want justice for Doris, Mandy and the girls, and David Morris, but what we don’t want is any more victims. Myself and my research team are currently fact checking the latest John Morris, Clydach Murders book. 

For years I have been fighting for justice for all the families involved. 

Over the past few years, I’ve been involved in multi-disciplinary in-depth postgraduate research combining criminal law and violence against women and girls, which uncovered the truth about the murders. From my own pursuit of justice, there is currently an investigation undertaken by the IOPC towards South Wales retired policemen, DC Phil Rees, DC Christopher Coutts and Phil Noble for their involvement in police corruption and abuse of power. 

Following John Morris’ publication, myself and my postgraduate research team will be publishing our own trauma informed book about our wealth of research and my personal experience written in our own words, including police abuse towards myself, women and girls very shortly.

I met my postgraduate researcher in April 2022, and she helped me process and we pieced the hidden truth behind the murders. 

Together, we wrote and sent the subject access requests June 2022, then in Autumn 2022, drove to West Mercia police and West Midlands police to give full in-depth written and verbal statements. At this time, my written statements were sent to Gloucester police and after the publication of the Master’s in laws dissertation about the Clydach Murders July 2023, my case was presented to Belfast police officers at Musgrave police station on my behalf, 11th December 2023. 

Security cameras were bought to keep my family safe and South Wales police were informed of their breaches in the law towards myself and my family. As my postgraduate researcher was completing her masters in laws degree which focused on the Clydach Murders’ case, together we were able to combine qualitative user-led research, with quantitative research. We pieced together the historical context, uncovered the public domain abuse in the police interviews published by South Wales police in Sky’s Murders in the Valleys, exposed the lies told by a local councillor and the unlawful public interest immunity (PIIs) which was a central research question and focus of the postgraduate research (2019-2023), amongst other things. The unethical use of PIIs later became the focus of this petition, which I published 26th June 2024 from London, in remembrance of the 25th anniversary of my four friends’ murders. 

My book will be following ethical research guidelines of obtaining full written consent before publishing anyone’s highly personal and sensitive information into the public domain, such as names and addresses, CSA and legal statements. This case has already claimed too many victims. 

I am very mindful that putting highly sensitive information without a person’s full written consent into the public domain runs the risk of either causing significant harm/damage to the person and their wider family, the information might not be accurate and the authors run the risk of being sued for breaches in the law.

I look forward to telling my story and putting the record straight.
