Current finding#
As at 14 October 2026, the material reviewed does not establish wrongdoing by the publisher. The 2026 enquiry has had an out-of-office reply only; no substantive response is recorded. The 1988–89 articles are used for what they say was reported.
Next step#
Ask Reach plc / Media Wales for the original page images, dates and photographers’ credits for the 1988 items, and whether any photograph archive survives. Acceptance: each article has a verified date and page reference, or a dated negative archive result.
