Case against press photographer arrested while working at the scene of a murder dropped
Dimitris Legakis

A PRESS photographer arrested and charged while working at the scene of a murder in Swansea said today he will take further action after a judge described the case as “disturbing” and his prosecution was dropped.

Dimitris Legakis was detained at the scene of a murder on Sketty Lane, Swansea, on September 22 2023.

The freelance photographer was covering a car fire set by David Clarke, who beat his 77-year-old wife Helen with a hammer before dousing her in petrol and setting her alight.
