During his first week on the job, he noticed a few letters that were still on the porch floor, where he had delivered them a few days earlier.
His insides burned so much that he set off the alarm. As a result, the body of a guy with severe burns and his seriously injured sister were found.
After the official account of events was contested by the family nearly half a century later, Dyfed-Powys Police is now conducting a forensic assessment to determine whether to reopen the case.
Nigel, who was 19 at the time, described what transpired as follows: “I started shouting, ‘Hello, anybody here?'”
“I smelled something burning and smokey coming from the chimney as I opened the door,” the 73-year-old Griff Thomas’s badly burned body was discovered on the kitchen floor, piled high atop scorched trash.
When the police came, they found a second horrific scene inside the home.
