Crime by Emma Pietras, The Sun 28th Dec 2020 6:28 PM The brutal double murders at a picturesque Welsh holiday spot shocked the UK in 1985. Three days before Christmas, the charred remains of siblings Richard and Helen Thomas were found in the ruins of their remote Pembrokeshire farmhouse, Scoveston Manor. Four years later, husband and wife Peter and Gwenda Dixon were murdered as they walked along the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path. Their bodies were later found hidden in undergrowth, The Sun reports.
