52 year old Phillip Saunders owned several newsagent kiosks around Cardiff city centre. On the evening of October 12th 1987 he completed his daily routine by collecting the takings from his kiosk near the Central Bus Station. After a quick drink in a local pub he headed by car back to his home in nearby Canton. As he walked from the car into his garden Phillip was brutally attacked and robbed. He died from his injuries five days later. The next month three teenaged men were arrested for the crime and their living nightmare began. The trio became known as The Cardiff Newsagent Three and their story is both shocking and heartbreaking.
