Pembrokeshire murders: Locksmith claims key found in John William Cooper's garden fitted victim's lock
A locksmith claims a key (pictured above) found in the garden of the man accused of two double murders in Pembrokeshire, fitted a lock in a farmhouse which belonged to one of his alleged victims.
Swansea Crown Court heard the key was discovered at 66-year-old John Cooper's former home at near Milford Haven in 1998 by police investigating a string of burglaries he was later jailed for.
Detectives found it fitted a lock in a bedroom door at Norton Farmhouse which once belonged to millionaire farmer Richard Thomas.
