4. The Aftermath
A shocking miscarriage of justice which lead to the execution of Mahmood Mattan.
It happened 70 years ago but the story didn't end there...
After Mahmood Mattan was hanged, his wife Laura was left alone to bring up three young children.
She had little, or no, support; and moved her family to a new area of Cardiff where she hoped to start a new life.
But some people wouldn't let her forget that she had been married to a man convicted and hanged for murder.
She faced abuse and was ostracised; her young family suffered the most terrible cruelty and humiliation.
But the trauma that she and her three sons endured didn't end there.
It continues to be felt even today by the generations of their family that followed.
