As an angry mob gathered outside a police station, Alison Lewis thought she was going to be killed.
"I remember lying on the floor of the car thinking: 'I'm going to die here in the back of this car and I won't be able to prove I'm innocent'.A year before her arrest, Alison's lover Mandy Power had been found dead along with Mandy's mother Doris and daughters, Katie, 10, and Emily, aged eight.The family had been bludgeoned to death with a pole in an"orgy of savagery", prosecutors said, before their house was set on fire in June 1999.
His twin brother Stuart, who was a police officer too, was arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.Former builder David"Dai" Morris - who claimed he had a fling with Mandy - was eventually convicted of the murders and spent 22 years in jail before his death in August last year.A blood-stained gold chain found at the crime scene had led police to Morris, with paint found on the jewellery matching paint used on kitchen cabinets at his flat.
The development prompted a rare statement from Mandy's family who called on Morris's supporters to accept his guilt. "Those sort of things don't really happen in those sort of communities - close-knit, industrial communities," he says.
