Police to end review into siblings who died in farmhouse 'bloodbath'

A forensic review into the deaths of siblings Martha and Griff Thomas, discovered in a farmhouse in 1976, will conclude after nearly four years without yielding new conclusions. The initial investigation treated the deaths as a potential double murder but later concluded that Griff likely killed his sister before setting himself on fire. Family members, including Huw Gibby, reject this theory, believing the pair were murdered, and argue that evidence has degraded over time, limiting investigative possibilities. They plan to seek further legal recourse if the original verdict stands. Gibby suggests a third party, possibly someone known to the victims, may have been involved.
