Lewis Lewis Jr was one of the people involved in the murder of Thomas Price in the parish of Llanafanfawr who was beaten with a stick and strangled to death with a rope. He was convicted and ordered to be hanged in chains.

After they tried to sink his body in a pool in the hills but found that that would not effectively conceal him and so they tried to burn him but failed at that too and so buried him in several places including the garden of one of the murderers and at another house.
