I'm surprised the story generated so much airtime.
Straight and simple domestic abuse which seems to have been sensationalised by knobheads on social media.
It's obviously a horrific event but there's been far worse incidences of domestic abuse in Aberfan before the days of social media that wasn't commented on by every wannabe social commentator.
Not sure why LoM would allude to any other tragedy although I'll assume the date he mentioned is a typo as its the wrong date?
