The Tragic Incident
The incident unfolded on Sunday, April 7, when Colin Richards, a father of seven, was discovered unconscious on Snowdon Road in Ely. Authorities responded to a report of a disturbance in the Heol-Y-Berllan and Heol Trelai area of Caerau shortly before. Despite the best efforts of emergency services, Mr. Richards succumbed to a fatal stab wound.
Detective Superintendent Darren George, leading the force’s Major Crime Team, emphasised that extensive inquiries are ongoing. While three arrests have already been made, authorities are actively seeking other individuals believed to be involved in the disturbance and murder. The focus remains on locating Jimmy O’Driscoll and Corey Gauci.
