A father has confessed to killing his daughter-in-law before grabbing a snack, leaving a family shattered and a community in shock
Llanelli: A tragic story has unfolded. A dad, Richard Jones, admitted to killing his daughter-in-law, Sophie Evans. After the incident, he casually went to a bakery for a snack.
Sophie, just 30, was expecting Richard for some help around the house. Instead, it ended in a heartbreaking tragedy. She was in a relationship with Richard’s son, Jamie, who was in jail at the time.
Richard, 50, confessed to the killing but claims it was manslaughter, not murder. Prosecutors say he attacked Sophie multiple times before strangling her. It’s a shocking turn of events.
The court heard that Richard left Sophie’s house just 44 minutes after arriving. He was caught on camera rushing to his car, then heading to Jenkins Bakery for a tuna roll and custard slice.
Afterward, he returned home with the bakery items. A notepad in his car revealed his troubled thoughts about being scammed by his son. He claimed he lost his temper before the tragic event.
Sophie’s family is devastated. They described her as a loving mother and sister, taken too soon. They’re heartbroken and ask for privacy as they grieve this unimaginable loss.
The trial is still ongoing, and the community is left in shock.
