I knew Paul Bennett, but not very well. I knew him through my mother, a regular church goer at St Fagan's. I knew him through is visits to my late father following his stroke. I was impressed by his handling of my father's funeral service and by his care and compassion.
"Father Paul Bennett, 59, was killed in the grounds of St Fagan's Church in Trecynon, near Aberdare, on Wednesday. He had been stabbed several times."
That was what the BBC news web site had to say (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/6452429.stm).
What they nor, as far as I am aware, any other news station had to say was that St Fagan's Church is directly behind Trecynon Police Station, in fact the churchyard is almost the back garden of the station.
Am I just cynical in thinking it's the police keeping that quiet, so that their claims of an "increased police presence" to reassure the locals don't look quite so foolish?
