Williams Crompton was murdered in Llandrindod Wells

Wendy Crompton's son William, 18, and his girlfriend Fiona Ovis, 28, were stabbed to death by Andrew Cole, 32, at a house in Llandrindod Wells seven years ago.

She spoke a day after after Paul Khan, 34, admitted stabbing to death 72-year-old Brian Dodd at a north Wales beach.

Speaking on BBC Radio Wales she said about Mr Dodd's death: "I was saddened. There has been a few cases since William was murdered.

"It just makes me sad when I hear there's been a new case.

"It is another care in the community disaster.

"My sympathy goes to Mrs Dodd and I hope she doesn't have to go through what we had to go through as a family to get the answers to our questions."

Since William's murder, Mrs Crompton has campaigned for the Welsh Assembly Government to implement a policy where inquires are held automatically into deaths of this nature.

We want the truth, we want to be able to understand why our loved ones have been killed in this way Wendy Crompton

Currently the assembly government examines each incident on a case-by-case basis.

However, so far no inquiries have been held in Wales since William's murder.

"No there hasn't been any [inquiries] and that is very sad and very, very wrong because that means the lessons aren't being learnt in Wales when they clearly need to be," said Mrs Crompton.

"It's been over seven years since William died and we still haven't had answers to the questions - and I don't hold out much hope.

"I would like to keep my fingers crossed and hope that things have changed but I doubt it very much and I doubt that the assembly are learning anything from these tragedies.

"It makes it [grieving] absolutely horrendous.

"You have to put your grieving on hold.

"I don't believe I have grieved for my son, I don't believe I've have been allowed by the system who continually obstruct families in getting the truth and that's all we want.
