A former police officer and ex-paddleboard tour company owner has admitted to gross negligence manslaughter after the deaths of four people.

Paul O’Dwyer, Andrea Powell, Morgan Rogers and Nicola Wheatley died following an incident in the River Cleddau, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, in October 2021.

Nerys Bethan Lloyd, 39, from Port Talbot, is the former owner of Salty Dog, the company operating the tour that the four, and four others who survived, were taking.

The company has since been dissolved.

At Swansea Crown Court on Wednesday, she also pleaded guilty to one offence under the Health and Safety at Work Act.
