A man murdered his neighbour on the caravan park where they lived by brutally beating him and setting his mobile home on fire.

Darren Smith, 43, later claimed that Richard Thomas had started the blaze himself in his van - but a jury rejected his version of events and unanimously agreed to convict the 43-year-old who will now undergo psychiatric assessments, Wales Online reports.

Emergency services were called out to Beeches caravan park in Magor, Monmouthshire in the early hours of December, 20, 2021 after a fire had been reported.
