In this gripping episode of Welsh Mysteries and Histories, we delve into one of Wales’ most haunting unsolved crimes — the brutal 1984 murder of Father Paul Hughes, a beloved Catholic priest found dead in his Carmarthenshire presbytery.

Titled A Parish in Mourning, this episode uncovers the chilling details surrounding Father Paul’s final hours, the community’s shock, and the strange silence that followed. Was it a robbery gone wrong, or something far more sinister cloaked in secrecy? We explore the police investigation, examine key suspects, and ask why—over four decades later—this case remains cold despite whispers of motive and opportunity.

Through archive accounts, local insight, and careful research, this episode paints a vivid picture of a parish gripped by fear, loss, and lingering suspicion. Join us as we revisit this tragic mystery and consider what it means when justice is never served.

Perfect for true crime lovers and history enthusiasts, A Parish in Mourning is a must-listen for anyone drawn to Wales’ most perplexing unsolved cases.
