South Wales: The Llanharry Murders

Crime+Investigation
About this episode

When Harry and Megan Tooze’s neighbours heard two gunshots coming from the couple’s farm in Llanharry, South Wales they didn’t think twice. Harry had always had trouble with rabbits and they assumed he was shooting them out of his cabbages again. That evening when Harry and Megan’s daughter attempted to get a hold of them they were nowhere to be found and soon police were all over the property, trampling across what soon be considered a crime scene.
