A man has been found guilty of murdering his brother, in Swansea.
The verdict was reached today by a jury, following Darren Steel’s plea of not guilty to the charges of murder and manslaughter earlier this month.
Martin Steel, aged 48, was discovered on 20th May 2023 at an address on Hill View Crescent, Clase.
He was found dead shortly after 10:30am that day.
Darren Steel, 41, from Morriston, is scheduled to be sentenced tomorrow.
Detective Inspector Stuart Prendiville said:
“This has been a long and complex investigation into an incident which has shocked the communities of Clase, Morriston and the wider community of Swansea. The impact on the family has been significant."
“Darren Steel committed the ultimate betrayal against his older brother and caused further distress by pleading not guilty and putting the family through the ordeal of not one, but two trials."
“We are relieved with the outcome and glad that the court proceedings have now come to an end. Our thoughts are with the family.”
