Officers make arrest in connection with deaths of Harry and Megan Tooze in farmhouse in Llanharry

An 86-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the killing of a married couple who died after being blasted with a 12-bore shotgun more than 30 years ago.

Harry Tooze, 64, and Megan Tooze, 67, were killed at their farmhouse in Llanharry, south Wales, in 1993.

Jonathan Jones, the boyfriend of their daughter Cheryl, was jailed for life in 1995 for the murders but was released by the court of appeal in 1996 after Cheryl launched a campaign protesting his innocence.

South Wales police started a forensic review of the case in 2023, and detectives on Wednesday arrested an 86-year-old man, who is in police custody.
