Wife and lover guilty of caravan murder plot

A woman has been found guilty of plotting to kill her husband along with her lover.

Christopher Mills was attacked by two masked men with guns, gloves and cable ties at the caravan he shared with his wife in Cenarth, Carmarthenshire, in September 2024.

Ethel Mills, 46, known as Michelle, from Llangennech, Carmarthenshire, had denied conspiring to murder Mr Mills with her lover Geraint Berry, 46, from Clydach, Swansea, who was also found guilty.

Steven Thomas, 47, from Blaengwynfi, Neath Port Talbot, had also been accused of conspiracy to murder Mr Mills but was found not guilty.

Jonathan Rees KC, prosecuting, told the jury during the trial that Berry had told Michelle Mills 16 times over texts that he wanted to kill her husband.

She said she only believed this to be a “fantasy and escape from reality”.

Mills denied being a “highly intelligent person”, saying she left school at the age of 11.

Mills was also found guilty of perverting course of justice at Swansea Crown Court on Tuesday.
