After a week-long trial at Cardiff Crown Court, Dylan Thomas, the 24-year-old grandson of pie company founder Sir Stanley Thomas, has been found guilty of murdering his best friend, William Bush. The jury reached their verdict on Thursday, holding Thomas responsible for the death of 23-year-old Bush on Christmas Eve in their home in Llandaff, Cardiff.
