A former builder was today found guilty of murdering three generations of the same family by bludgeoning them to death with a pole.
Mandy Power, 34, her bed-ridden mother Doris Dawson, 80, and her daughters Katie, 10, and Emily, eight, were found dead by firefighters at their home in Clydach, near Swansea, in June 1999.
David Morris, 44, of Craig-cefn-Parc in the Swansea Valley, beat all four to death with a pole before setting the house on fire.
During the three-month retrial the jury of six men and six women at Newport Crown Court heard the murders described as a "massacre".
