His death was not treated as suspicious.  But new information led detectives to open an investigation into Mr Mathias's death more than three decades later. A 67-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of murder. Police have led investigations in the area surrounding the small village of Llandewi Velfrey in Pembrokeshire, home to only 400 people.
