The inquest was told the 58-year-old is thought to have been stabbed multiple times in an attack by his 46-year-old partner.

They were both found dead in the bedroom of a house in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, on December 29.

The inquest in Haverfordwest was told Ms Sheridan died from "self-inflicted wounds", after she was discovered feet away from her boyfriend's body.

Trainee coroner's officer, Maggie Julian, told the hearing Mr Williams, from Gowerton in Swansea, was found with multiple injuries.

A provisional report on his death indicated he died from stab wounds to the neck, chest and stomach.

Neighbour Carol Mutter, 63, said after the couple were found: "It is very sad especially at this time of year."

Another neighbour said: "I feel like something was wrong because the blinds have been closed the past couple of days.

"It’s usually a nice place to live around here but it is really frightening that something like that could happen so near to me."
