Geoffrey Bran, 71, (pictured right outside Swansea Crown Court today) of Hermon, Carmarthenshire has been cleared of murdering his wife of 38 years Mavis Bran, 69. Geoffrey Bran, 71, was accused of pushing or throwing a deep fat fryer onto Mavis Bran, his wife of 38 years, leaving her with horrific burns that led to her death six days later. Before she died, Mrs Bran told a friend and paramedics that her husband had 'flipped' and attacked her with the fryer because she had been 'nagging him' inside the Chipoteria chip shop in the rural village of Hermon, Carmarthenshire. Mrs Bran then rang her friend, Caroline Morgan, telling her: 'Geoff has thrown boiling oil over me. Miss Morgan told the court Mrs Bran said: 'I was nagging him and he flipped.'
