Overview
- A collision between a car and an off-road bike in Gorseinon left an 18-year-old man dead and a 19-year-old man injured following a midday incident on Thursday.
- South Wales Police launched a murder investigation and carried out extensive forensic work at multiple cordoned locations, including an erected tent and specialist officers working into the evening.
- Police initially arrested two 18-year-olds on suspicion of murder and related serious offences and later detained three more people, with all five currently in custody and being questioned.
- Officers have reopened most roads but continue detailed enquiries and have urged anyone with dashcam, CCTV or doorbell footage from the area between 8am and 2:30pm to come forward.
- Detectives asked the public not to share graphic footage online and offered support services to witnesses as the probe, which the force calls complex, seeks to piece together the sequence of events and motive.
