Llanharry murders: Who killed Harry and Megan Tooze?

in crime •  last year 

It was a double murder that shocked a close-knit rural village and intrigued the nation.

It has been 30 years since the blood-stained bodies of Harry and Megan Tooze were discovered under hay bales in the cowshed at their isolated cottage in Llanharry, south Wales.

Who shot the couple dead is still a mystery and the case remains one of Wales' most notorious unsolved murders.

Retired fruit-wholesaler Harry and his wife Megan led very ordinary and ordered lives.

"We were told they kept themselves to themselves, they were creatures of habit, old-fashioned... didn't go out ever, didn't socialise particularly but were perfectly pleasant neighbours," said former BBC Wales journalist Penny Roberts who reported on the case at the time.

Monday 26 July 1993 began the same as every other - the couple, who were in their 60s - left their farm cottage in the village of Llanharry in Rhondda Cynon Taf and drove their Land Rover to Tesco in nearby Talbot Green to do their weekly food shop, stopping to collect their pensions on the way home.

Just hours later they were dead.
