In this final episode of Death On The Farm - the community is still battling for a different verdict. We hear how the police are conducting a forensic review, which may or may not reveal new clues. But patience amongst the locals is wearing thin... and many fear that the opportunity to clear Griff's name has come and gone.
But perhaps a modern day expert can find new clues from within the original police report. Dr Brett Lockyer is a Home Office Pathologist - who has studied hundreds of crime scenes and unexplained deaths. His analysis of the scene at Ffynnon Samson, and the events which took place there, differs from the conclusion police came to at the time. What's more - there is documented evidence which he believes could offer a very different sequence of events, and the presence of a third party.
But will the community rest easy with this new information coming to light? Or will they remain in a state of limbo - until the police offer can offer an official response? For Huw Absolom, Huw Gibby, and for everyone in Llangolman, they won't stop fighting to change the course of justice, or to clear the name of one of their own.
Death On the Farm is narrated by Bettrys Jones. It's produced by What's The Story Sounds for BBC Wales

The official police report into the deaths at Ffynnon Samson is the most details account of the scene, and the events which took place. But that report, completed in 1977, led to a conclusion that it was Griff who was ultimately responsible. A claim the community rejects. Now, in this episode, that report is held up to the light, as the locals ask where the evidence was which led police to that conclusion. Is there a smoking gun hidden amongst the statements and observations? Or does the report leave them with more questions than answers. The episode hears from acclaimed forensic psychologist Prof David Canter, who reveals his own misgivings about the report, and his own theories on what may have taken place. ]#Produced by What's The Story for BBC Wales

Pembrokeshire is a safe and secure place to live. But for a time in the 1980's, the feeling for many was different. Two violent murders once again had communities in fear. But for some, these latest crimes had parallels with Ffynnon Samson. And questions began to be asked as to whether the same person could be responsible.
In this episode we meet Aled Scourfield - the reporter who first learned about these crimes at the trial of a man called John Cooper. A man who is now in prison for multiple murders. It was Aled who, after hearing rumours of a link, first asked whether Cooper might have been in Llangolman back in 1977. Whether John Cooper might have found his way to the remote farmhouse, and face to face with Griff and Patty. It's a question which has divided this community... a theory which lacks any evidence. But for some it's more compelling the closer that you look.

It's a matter of weeks since the crime scene at Ffynnon Samson was discovered, but the loose ends are already being tied into a neat bow.
The police investigation led by DCI Pat Molloy has come to an end, the evidence all gathered and conclusions drawn. His file is passed to a coroner to conduct a formal inquest and close the case.
But before that, the men of Llangolman are invited to attend a funeral service for the couple... a service which doesn't allow women to attend. And there's more controversy, as the bodies of Griff and Patty are barred from entering the local chapel.
How will the community respond? Can they come to terms with the findings of the police? And will they be able to close the lid on this dark chapter? Or will the rumour mill continue to swirl long after the couple are laid to rest?

By the end 1976, the community in Llangolman was still waiting for answers. Police officers had taken over the village, conducting their investigation into the deaths of Griff and Patti Thomas. Their work included building up a picture of their victims - learning their habits, understanding their relationship as siblings, and asking who was set to benefit from their death. And they scour the crime scene, looking for the clues and evidence which might help them to understand exactly what happened, and who was responsible. But as more information emerges, clarity remains hidden. And there's no stopping the rumour mill which is in overdrive.
This episode chronicles those events from early 1977. And it tells the story of the investigation and how it was reported by local media. By the end, there's an alarming new theory which threatens to derail everything the community believed to be true.
