Sounds like a very close-knit community, so hopefully police will get a lot of information coming in.

Anyone with information should call South Wales police's 101 number or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Good heavens, this sounds like a very small town but there was a very similar case in 2013.

Same case! Guardian had no time stamp when I first posted it and featured the case on their front page, for some reason.

'Open verdict' was the eventual decision.
