11 Most Disturbing Murder Houses That Shocked Wales

Somewhere in Wales tonight, someone is falling asleep in a house where a family was once killed. No estate agent mentions it, and most neighbors stopped talking about it years ago — but eleven addresses like this are still standing, still lived in, right now. A few of the killers were never caught, and three of these cases are being actively reinvestigated as you read this.
In this video, we explore:
→ The Red Gables Hotel in Penmaenmawr, where a former gardener shot four people and burned the building down in 1976, the deadliest single mass murder in Welsh history.
→ A 90-year-old woman beaten to death on Hawarden Road in 2005 — a footprint left at the scene has never matched anyone, and her killer has never been found.
→ Vivian Teed, hanged in 1958 for battering a postmaster to death with a hammer, the last person Wales has ever executed for any crime.
→ Ffynnon Samson farmhouse, where two siblings died in 1976 under two different, unresolved verdicts, now possibly linked to a much more infamous killer twenty miles away.
→ Scoveston Park, where John Cooper shot a brother and sister in the face and torched the house — and got away with it for 25 years, partly thanks to a game show appearance on Bullseye.
→ A house fire on the Gurnos estate that killed a young mother and her two baby daughters — two innocent women went to prison for it, then were cleared, and the real killer has never faced a single day in court.
→ The Tŷ ar y Waun farmhouse murders, unsolved for three decades until an 86-year-old man was arrested in December 2025.
→ Three teenage girls murdered around Port Talbot in 1973, a case only solved 29 years later using DNA traced through a dead man's relatives.
→ Nine Kelvin Road in Clydach, where three generations of one family were bludgeoned to death and the house was later sold on the open market like nothing happened.
→ A Cardiff dockside murder that saw three innocent men wrongly convicted while the real killer walked free for sixteen more years.
→ And at number one: the only house on this entire list that Wales chose to demolish completely, wiped off the map for one five-year-old girl.
Ten of these houses are still standing on ordinary streets right now. Subscribe if you want to know the moment any of these unsolved cases finally break.

I'm from Penmaenmawr. No teen was scared of The Red Gables 😂
Old haunted house on the quarry was scarier but that too was torn down.
