Apology

A REPORT was published in the Carmarthen Journal dated October 12 headlined Farmer in tirade after officers visit over sewage spill.
In the report it was stated that Robert Adrian Maskell was arrested. This was not the case. We are happy to clarify and apologise for any distress or embarrassment caused.
The report said that Mr Maskell ‘dumped’ sewage into the river. In fact slurry and sewage had seeped into a stream at Cwmgest Farm, as dirty water had escaped into the surface water system at various places on the farm.
The Journal is happy to clarify. In the report it is said that fish were killed in the incident. We are happy to clarify that eight dead fish were found.

The uncorrected story is still online.

The apologies keep rolling in for Morien Jones. This story goes back to last summer. Some newspapers continue to get the story wrong, while others are just getting around to correcting their reports from last year. Below are the latest installments. Read the previous ones by starting here.

FURTHER to our article on May 26 2006 about Lynett Burgessâ€™s acquittal for indecent exposure, we have been asked to make clear her neighbour Morien Jones did not film Ms Burgess in her garden. The video shown in court was shot by Mr Jonesâ€™s builder as she walked naked in front of Mr Jonesâ€™s house.
We apologise to Mr Jones for any embarrassment caused. Link

On May 25 2006 we reported that Lynett Burgess has been cleared of indecent exposure for sunbathing nude in her garden. We stated that her neighbour, Mr Jones, had taken a video of her in her garden which was given to the police. We have been asked to make clear that Mr Jones’s builder in fact took the pictures when Ms Burgess was on Mr Jones’s drive.

In an article published on 18th April (‘Naked’ nurse’s living hell) we incorrectly reported that a builder had filmed Lyneth Burgess sunbathing naked in her own garden and that her neighbours, Morien and Nia Jones, reported her to police for this. In fact the builder’s film, taken on police advice, showed Ms Burgess walking naked on the driveway at the front of the Jones’ property, not on her own property. We apologise for any misleading impression given of Mr Jones and his family.Our agency-based report on the unsuccessful prosecution of Lynette Burgess for indecent exposure (25 May) suggested that she had been filmed sunbathing naked in her garden by a neighbour, Morien Jones. In fact the film, taken on police advice by Mr Jones’s builder in the context of possible court proceedings, showed Ms Burgess walking naked on the driveway at the front of Mr Jones’s property.
We apologise to Mr Jones for any embarrassment caused by the misunderstanding. Link
