Trial Update: A shocking case unfolds in Swansea Crown Court as Michelle Mills, ex-Marine Geraint Berry, and fellow soldier Steven Thomas face allegations of plotting a murder. The trio is accused of staging a mock raid on a caravan, with balaclavas and fake guns in a plan to kill Michelle’s husband, Christopher Mills.
According to prosecutors, the drama began on the night of September 20, when two masked men stormed the caravan where the Mills were staying. Despite being ambushed, Christopher bravely fought back, leaving him battered but alive. Authorities soon discovered Berry and Thomas hiding nearby, allegedly armed with a chilling array of items including gas masks and cable ties. Plus, a so-called “suicide note” from Christopher to Michelle surfaced.
The court has been presented with text exchanges where Michelle and Berry allegedly discussed various methods of eliminating Christopher—even mentioning hiring hitmen. Messages described Michelle as desperate to ‘move forward’ with Berry, referring to him as her ‘queen.’
With Christopher’s £124,000 life insurance policy and allegations of an illicit affair between Michelle and Berry, prosecutors argue this heart-pounding plot runs deeper than just conspiracy. Berry and Thomas have already admitted to possessing imitation firearms, but all three defendants deny the conspiracy to murder charge. Michelle also faces a charge of attempting to pervert justice by allegedly deleting incriminating messages.
While the defendants await their fate, the courtroom drama continues to unfold with each revealing detail. It’s a case straight out of a thriller, but here, the stakes are all too real—stay tuned as justice seeks its course.
