Clydach Wendy Buckney murder trial hears 999 recording

The 999 call to police was made by Mr Whitelock’s neighbour, Jeffrey Llewellyn, on the morning of 23 August.

He had become increasingly concerned about Mr Whitelock’s erratic behaviour in the days before Ms Buckney’s death.

Mr Llewellyn told the operator in the recording: “He’s just told me he’s killed her.”

As he is speaking to the call handler, Mr Whitelock can be seen on CCTV walking about outside the flats on Tan y Coed Road in Clydach.

During the call, Mr Llewellyn asks the defendant: “Where is she, Brian?”, and he replies: “Dead.”

Mr Llewellyn is heard saying “I know she’s dead Brian, where?”

Mr Whitelock shouts back to him that she is in the living room and is “stone cold”.
