Summary
In this episode, I tell the story of Kelly Hyde, a 24-year-old woman murdered in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, on September 27, 2007.
Kelly dropped her car off at a local garage that morning as its MOT test was booked. As she walked home with her dog Scrappy, she was followed by a 16-year-old boy as she walked on a bridle path.
Adrian Jones did not know Kelly, and to date, no motive has been established for what he did, but that morning, he beat Kelly to death using a piece of gym equipment.
He was arrested just days after Kelly's body was discovered on September 30 in a stream near a disused colliery.
Seeing as a minimum of 12 years imprisonment was where the Judge had to begin, Mr Justice Davis handed Jones an 11-year and 79-day sentence, given that Jones had already spent 286 days in custody. Jones attempted to appeal his murder conviction, but the Court of Appeal rejected it in October 2009.
After Jones died of natural causes on February 18, 2018, his appeal continued, with his family pursuing the case and referring it to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), who referred it to the Court of Appeal.
