On the evening of Tuesday December 9th 1975, Hugh Watson enjoyed a pint and a game of dominoes at the Pen-y-Bryn Hotel bar in Llanrwst, North Wales. At 9.30pm the 77 year old grabbed his two walking sticks and set out back to his makeshift home in a stable on a nearby farm. Many people saw the well-known figure of Hugh walking the short distance through the small market town that night. Later two patrolling police officers noticed smoke billowing from a barn situated next to Hugh's stable. Firefighters were called and after they had put out the flames they discovered the charred body of Hugh Watson. He had been stabbed multiple times before being set alight while still alive. It appeared to be a senseless and motiveless murder. One theory was that it had been carried out by a passing stranger, while others believed the answers to this horrific mystery lay within the small rural community.
