“On a cold Christmas night in Holyhead, the season of goodwill turned to grief.”
In December 1909, the body of Gwen Ellen Jones was found near her home on Anglesey — a brutal killing that shocked a quiet Welsh community. Over a century later, her case remains an echo of sorrow, a reminder that even in times of celebration, darkness has a way of finding its place.
This week, the Archive steps back to a frozen Anglesey shore, where a single Christmas Night left a shadow no season could thaw.

Correction: In this episode, we state that Gwen Ellen Jones’s body was discovered by two residents crossing a field near Newry Street. Contemporary police records and later historical research indicate that the body was located by police after William Murphy surrendered and stated where he had killed her. We regret the error.
