Terry O'Neill was just 10 years old when he stood up in court to testify against his foster parents in 1945. They were accused of the manslaughter of his brother Dennis. His harrowing story captured the heart of the nation and led to an overhaul of fostering provision in the UK. It also inspired Agatha Christie to write 'The Mousetrap', the longest running play in London's West End. Terry, who is from Newport, tells his story to Louise Elliott.
