The Body Next Door
A true story of past crimes, hidden secrets and dark secrets
Nestled in the heart of the Welsh Valleys lies Beddau, a sleepy former mining village known for its solidarity and resilience. Beddau is a place where locals know the postman by name, and everyone knows everyone’ s business... or so they think.
A horrifying turn of events reveals a real human corpse, meticulously wrapped in over 40 layers of plastic, found in the secure garden of a quiet residential block. The body seems fresh, yet, with no matching DNA, fingerprints, or dental records, the identity of the deceased remains a mystery – it is as if the body had fallen from the sky.
As the police investigation unfolds, it leads to the discovery of an unexpected suspect with a hidden past full of lies, trauma, and dark secrets. What emerges is a gripping murder mystery intertwined with a dramatic family saga, making headline news and sending shockwaves from the heart of the Welsh Valleys to the suburbs of New Zealand.
