0:00:02 > 0:00:05This programme contains some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08The bystander that witnessed the abduction described a suspect
0:00:08 > 0:00:10of average height and build wearing a dark balaclava.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14SCREAMING
0:00:14 > 0:00:16HELP!
0:00:16 > 0:00:17COUGHING
0:00:17 > 0:00:18He tore out my earrings.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20These appear to have been the most significant finds
0:00:20 > 0:00:22at the crime scene.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24There's a very subtle point you've probably missed.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Trust me, I haven't.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30There's a lot of evidence to go through.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31But we need a breakthrough.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Michael Farmer, I'm arresting you on suspicion of abduction
0:00:35 > 0:00:36and attempted murder.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41The 24-year-old man has been charged
0:00:41 > 0:00:43in connection with the murder
0:00:43 > 0:00:44of Baswinder Kaur...
0:00:45 > 0:00:48..the disappearance of Leonie Collersdale,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51and the abduction and attempted murder of a third woman.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Evidence may have been planted.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Evidence may have been suppressed.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56The man they've charged could well be innocent.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58There's facts...
0:00:58 > 0:00:59and then there's the truth.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04A detective under that kind of undue pressure
0:01:04 > 0:01:06can sometimes bend the facts,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09to suit the expectations of his, or her, superiors.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12We trust our officers to conduct themselves
0:01:12 > 0:01:14with professionalism and integrity.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15As of now,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18we are investigating Roz Huntley's charging
0:01:18 > 0:01:19of Michael Farmer.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Sir.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23AC-12.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27See you again, DCI Huntley.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29DS Kate Flynn.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31I've been placed on temporary secondment to your team, ma'am.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- I get muddled sometimes.- Do you want to stop the interview, Michael?
0:01:40 > 0:01:41I'd like you to desist, please,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43while I take this up with your senior officer.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45As you wish, ma'am.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Huntley's definitely hiding something
0:01:46 > 0:01:49about how the case against Farmer was handled. What, I don't know.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54This is the man I'm convinced killed Baswinder Kaur, Leonie Collersdale,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56and abducted Hana Reznikova,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58and framed Michael Farmer for everything.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00And Roz Huntley has stopped everyone looking for him.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07What have you got against Michael Farmer?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Except him being retarded enough for you to frame!
0:02:09 > 0:02:10SHE CRIES OUT
0:02:17 > 0:02:18I'm at Blackthorn.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20The DS from East Mids, she's with Farmer again.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21'God's sake.'
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Yeah, I'm trying to get hold of DCI Huntley.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24'Right.'
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- She didn't come into work this morning.- ID, please.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30'OK. I'll get back to you.'
0:02:32 > 0:02:34DOOR SQUEAKS AND SLAMS
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Michael, I need to ask you some questions about Rikki Neville.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I've learned that she had a boyfriend that lived in Moss Heath.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44That's where she went the night she disappeared.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Moss Heath, isn't that where you live, Michael?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Michael, you don't have to stay and speak to DS Flynn.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53You can leave at any time.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Or if you do speak to her,
0:02:54 > 0:02:56you're still under caution.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Anything you say can be used in evidence,
0:02:58 > 0:02:59don't forget that.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02I want to help.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Yes. DS Twyler.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Have you got DCI Huntley there with you, by any chance?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11'Uh, no, not seen her, she's not here. She's probably at home.'
0:03:12 > 0:03:14I've already tried her home number. Nothing.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16'Sorry.'
0:03:16 > 0:03:17All right. Cheers, anyway.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Ta.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26For the tape, I'm showing the interviewee a CCTV image.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28This image was also taken in Moss Heath,
0:03:28 > 0:03:30the night another girl went missing,
0:03:30 > 0:03:31Leonie Collersdale.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Maybe this man knows something about what happened to Rikki Neville?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38What I'm wondering, Michael, is if you might know who this man is?
0:03:40 > 0:03:41DOOR SQUEAKS
0:03:46 > 0:03:47OK, we'll leave it there.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52I've remembered the name of the hospital.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55What's that, Michael?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I said I want to help, and I've remembered the name of the hospital.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05'You told your employer it was a hospital...
0:04:05 > 0:04:07'St Anthony's.'
0:04:08 > 0:04:09'St Anthony's.'
0:04:09 > 0:04:11'But we checked St Anthony's,
0:04:11 > 0:04:13'and they've got no record that you were there that night.'
0:04:14 > 0:04:17'We want to get to the truth, Michael,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20'but it's very difficult if you can't provide us with the right...'
0:04:20 > 0:04:21As you were.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Sir, I got a tip-off from Kate about a possible alibi.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Under the pressure of interview, Farmer gave the wrong hospital.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Michael Farmer was actually admitted to City General Hospital
0:04:30 > 0:04:32on the night Leonie Collersdale disappeared.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33He wasn't discharged till two days later.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Well, let's see what DCI Huntley has to say about that.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- Start drafting a Reg 15.- Sir.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- DS Twyler. - DS Flynn.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55- Hi, Rupal.- Hiya.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00A body's been found. A woman.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Where's Tim Ifield?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10He's not on shift.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Stuck with me, I'm afraid.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Any idea who she is?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15From what there is, we've done pretty well
0:05:15 > 0:05:17to identify her as female.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18She's been dismembered.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Is Roz on her way? - Haven't got hold of her yet.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28OK, well, the first body parts were found there and there...
0:05:28 > 0:05:30CAMERAS CLICK RADIO CHATTER
0:05:35 > 0:05:38DCI Huntley's not answering any of her numbers.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Her Federation rep's had a go, too. Sorry, Sarge.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59PHONE ALERT
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Has anyone checked with Resources
0:06:14 > 0:06:17if Roz has been given last-minute leave or time off in lieu?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19It'll be summat with her kids.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20No-one dobs in the boss.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22What are you talking about?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Yeah.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Thanks, Rupal. I'll talk to you later.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Right.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Sum total of the find is the torso, divided into two sections
0:06:35 > 0:06:36plus one arm.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38I've asked Rupal to fast-track DNA,
0:06:38 > 0:06:40see if we can match the body to Leonie Collersdale
0:06:40 > 0:06:42or to Kate's missing girl, Rikki Neville.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Jodie, you OK to liaise with Rupal?- Yes, ma'am.- Right.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49And Neil, best to let the Collersdales' FLO know
0:06:49 > 0:06:50that we've found a body,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53but absolutely not to say anything to the family till we know more.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Boss.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Everything all right, ma'am?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Sorry, I really wasn't up to coming in earlier.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I think I've picked up some kind of bug.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Grim night.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Sorry to bring you in.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- This can't wait.- Sir.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I got an e-mail earlier.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26AC-12 are going to serve you with a Regulation 15 Notice.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Ted Hastings, usual story. He's got a bee in his bonnet.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35As good as told me you've been under disproportionate pressure
0:07:35 > 0:07:37to secure charges against Farmer.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Executive pressure.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I'm the one who's been shielding you from all the flak over Trapdoor.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47We're in this together,
0:07:47 > 0:07:49shoulder to shoulder. Huh?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57It's bad enough the kids being on another planet...
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Sorry?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02We eat later so we can sit down together.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Lost my appetite.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Anything to do with last night?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13You'd just gone when I realised you'd left your phone at home.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Yeah, I checked my messages this morning.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17The kids called. Why weren't you in?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21I was having a drink with Jimmy.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24So it's OK for you to have a drink with your mate, but...
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- it's a problem if I'm at work? - The kids were fine.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Couldn't you have borrowed someone's phone,
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- to let us know where you were? - We were chasing a lead.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34The body that was still missing.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Leonie Collersdale.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39You found her?
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Some of her.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48I should have borrowed someone else's phone.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51It got late and...
0:08:52 > 0:08:55..I just didn't want to wake up the whole house.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- Sorry.- Hey, now, hey, don't be daft.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I'm just worried about you, that's all.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02- Have you cut yourself?- It's fine.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04I just caught it on some brickwork.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06I'll be fine.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I'll warm that up for you.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20CONTINUOUS MONOTONE BEEP
0:09:32 > 0:09:33BEEP STOPS
0:09:33 > 0:09:36AC-12 interview of Detective Chief Inspector Roseanne Huntley,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39in the presence of her Police Federation Representative...
0:09:39 > 0:09:41DCI Mark Moffatt.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Interview by Superintendent Hastings, Detective Sergeant Arnott.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47For the DIR, the screen shows Michael Farmer,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50currently remanded in custody charged with the murder
0:09:50 > 0:09:52of Baswinder Kaur, the murder of Leonie Collersdale,
0:09:52 > 0:09:55and the kidnapping and attempted murder of Hana Reznikova.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57In respect of evidence against Mr Farmer,
0:09:57 > 0:10:00our first consideration is item reference AP-5,
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Hana Reznikova's clothing,
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Document 5 in your folders.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Hana's clothing yielded item reference HLA-8,
0:10:10 > 0:10:11that's Document 6 in your folders.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18HLA-8 also matched fibres found on Michael Farmer's clothing.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21It appears Farmer managed to dispose of the jacket,
0:10:21 > 0:10:23but fibres were still left on the clothes he was wearing
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- at the time of his arrest.- Fibres?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27DCI Huntley has the right to be questioned by an officer
0:10:27 > 0:10:29at least one rank senior.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Yes, but you take DS Arnott's point, don't you, DCI Huntley?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Only ONE fibre was found.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37I mean, that's pretty meagre, wouldn't you say?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Given that our man's meant to have bundled that wee girl into his car,
0:10:40 > 0:10:42transferred her across town,
0:10:42 > 0:10:43and then locked her up in his house?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Nonetheless, it's still evidence
0:10:45 > 0:10:47proving Farmer was in physical contact with Hana
0:10:47 > 0:10:49on the night of the abduction.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Actually it's evidence he might have been in contact
0:10:51 > 0:10:53with a black item of clothing, and as the jacket was never found,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56we have no definitive match to the one used in the abduction,
0:10:56 > 0:10:57added to which,
0:10:57 > 0:10:59a single fibre is more consistent with cross-contamination.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01That's correct, isn't it, DCI Huntley?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03It's more likely that a stray fibre
0:11:03 > 0:11:05contaminated Michael Farmer's clothing during his arrest,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07transfer, or custody?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Sir, I took scrupulous measures to prevent cross-contamination
0:11:10 > 0:11:11of forensic evidence.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15That's why I'm certain this fibre is proof of physical contact
0:11:15 > 0:11:16between Farmer and Hana.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Well, Hana described her attacker as wearing a balaclava.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21No fibres consistent with a balaclava were detected
0:11:21 > 0:11:23in Michael Farmer's hair.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24That doesn't mean he wasn't wearing one,
0:11:24 > 0:11:26just that we didn't find any fibres.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Absence of evidence isn't the same as evidence of absence.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Yes.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32There you go.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35It couldn't be more clear in respect of the foregoing.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37You just admitted to an absence of evidence.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Document 9.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Document 9 is a signal strength triangulation map carried out
0:11:44 > 0:11:49on Michael Farmer's phone in respect of 9th of March from 20.30 to 22.00.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Said triangulation shows
0:11:51 > 0:11:53the phone remained within the mobile phone cell
0:11:53 > 0:11:55covering Michael Farmer's grandmother's nursing home
0:11:55 > 0:11:58until he went to start his shift at 22.00.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01The map also shows the location of Hana Reznikova's abduction.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Seems like your man wasn't in the right place at the right time.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Just because the phone was there
0:12:05 > 0:12:07doesn't mean Farmer was.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09And there are no witnesses to Farmer loitering
0:12:09 > 0:12:12near his grandmother's nursing home for an hour and 45 minutes.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14He left it there the whole time?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16We really don't know what he did with his phone, sir.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18No calls were made in those hours.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22And yet the phone was back on his person by the time he was arrested?
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Yes, sir.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Hana Reznikova was abducted using a vehicle
0:12:27 > 0:12:29found in the vicinity of Michael Farmer's home.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Yes.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Michael Farmer doesn't hold a driving licence.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35He's never held a driving licence.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36He's never owned a car,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38neither has his grandmother.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39I'm familiar with those findings,
0:12:39 > 0:12:41and naturally, I gave them consideration.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Farmer's had ample opportunity to learn to drive informally.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46In his neighbourhood,
0:12:46 > 0:12:48it's not uncommon for motorists to drive illegally,
0:12:48 > 0:12:50without a licence or insurance.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Come on, that's an assumption,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53and a pretty big one, if you ask me.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56I mean, have you witnesses to Michael Farmer being able to drive?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Inquiries are ongoing, sir.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00"Ongoing."
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Document 11 in your folders. Item reference TJI-1.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Item TJI-1 is a pair of bloodstained earrings.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10They were found in Michael Farmer's home.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12The bloodstains were swabbed.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15The blood matched a control sample taken from Hana Reznikova.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16They were Hana's earrings.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Farmer ripped them out,
0:13:17 > 0:13:19before leaving Hana to die in the fire.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20And she would have,
0:13:20 > 0:13:23if I hadn't have gone into the burning house and saved her.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27DS Arnott.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Item reference TJI-2 is a hairgrip.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31At Michael Farmer's home,
0:13:31 > 0:13:36we also found said hair grip bearing DNA matching Baswinder Kaur,
0:13:36 > 0:13:40and a necklace bearing DNA matching Leonie Collersdale.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Tests indicated carpet fibre deposits present on other items
0:13:43 > 0:13:46recovered from Michael Farmer's home address were absent on the items
0:13:46 > 0:13:48specifically linking Farmer to the previous victims.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Those items were trophies.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53I took the view that Michael Farmer took special care of them,
0:13:53 > 0:13:55keeping them in a safe place, keeping them clean,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58and for that reason I discounted the carpet fibre profile.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01There was also a boot print relating to a person unknown.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04There was nothing that connected the boot print to the personal items.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05Like the carpet fibres,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08on the balance of evidence I discounted it,
0:14:08 > 0:14:11in favour of the compelling evidence against Michael Farmer.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13On screen, image 47.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18Image 47 is a CCTV capture made on 25th of January
0:14:18 > 0:14:21showing a figure known informally as Balaclava Man.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Now, have you determined that this suspect is Michael Farmer?
0:14:25 > 0:14:29He's a sufficient match in terms of body size and shape.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Most likely, this is Michael Farmer.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33And can you tell me how you went about determining
0:14:33 > 0:14:36whether or not to charge Michael Farmer?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Standard protocol, sir.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I spoke on the telephone to the Senior Prosecutor
0:14:40 > 0:14:42in the Complex Case Unit.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43I outlined the evidence,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45and she authorised me to charge the offender.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47And was there any other evidence
0:14:47 > 0:14:50that you brought to the attention of the Senior Prosecutor?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53What evidence?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Contrary evidence.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- As the phone call wasn't recorded... - Yeah, I know that, fella.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00That's why I'm asking the organ grinder, not her monkey.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I believe I've presented all the evidence.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Believe?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08DCI Huntley strenuously denies tampering with evidence.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10No-one's suggesting anything of the sort.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13More a matter of presentation.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17We viewed the MG5 and MG6 you submitted electronically to the CPS.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19The MG6 didn't refer to any solid evidence
0:15:19 > 0:15:21that would undermine the prosecution case.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Basically, you sold the prosecutor on the evidence
0:15:24 > 0:15:25in favour of Farmer's guilt,
0:15:25 > 0:15:27played down the evidence against.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Are you proposing that I should have disregarded the powerful evidence
0:15:30 > 0:15:32against Michael Farmer,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35and released a potentially dangerous offender back into the community?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38No, no. That is not what we are talking about here,
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Detective Chief Inspector Huntley, as well you know.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45We're not mind readers.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48We don't know whether Michael Farmer is guilty or not.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50All that's expected of us as police officers
0:15:50 > 0:15:52is that we do our duty to the letter of the law.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55The letter.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04Now, you were a bit of a high flier in your time, Roseanne, weren't you?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Graduate entrant.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Fast-tracked for promotion.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09DI before you were 30.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Then you hit the wall.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13I started a family, sir.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17You stood still while other people kept climbing the ladder.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Operation Trapdoor's an extremely high-profile inquiry.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Get a result, it puts your stalled career back on track.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25You were under pressure, weren't you, Roseanne, to get a result?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- No, sir. - Pressure from the top?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- No, sir. - Come on.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33No movement for months?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36The press telling women the streets aren't safe? Come off it.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38I discharged my duty correctly,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40and the matter is now in the hands of the courts.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43The matter, DCI Huntley,
0:16:43 > 0:16:46is whether or not you knowingly and willingly hoodwinked
0:16:46 > 0:16:49the Crown Prosecutor into authorising charges
0:16:49 > 0:16:51against Michael Farmer,
0:16:51 > 0:16:55despite there being good reason to doubt his guilt.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58I've got no doubt about Michael Farmer's guilt.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59No?
0:17:01 > 0:17:02DS Arnott.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Document 17 in your folders.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Transcript of interview with Michael Farmer.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10When asked to account for his whereabouts around the time
0:17:10 > 0:17:12of Leonie Collersdale's disappearance,
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Mr Farmer referred to a hospital admission.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15He misled my detectives.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19He's an emotionally and intellectually vulnerable suspect
0:17:19 > 0:17:20who got a detail wrong.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Follow-up by AC-12 proves Michael Farmer was a hospital in-patient
0:17:24 > 0:17:26at the time of Leonie Collersdale's disappearance.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32DS Neil Twyler reported to me
0:17:32 > 0:17:34that Michael Farmer had given this new information
0:17:34 > 0:17:36in a post-charge interview.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Michael Farmer's routine is that he visits his grandmother
0:17:42 > 0:17:46between 7.30pm and 8.30pm every night and starts work at 10pm.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Farmer visited City General Hospital at 11.30pm on the 25th of January.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Leonie Collersdale was last seen just after 9pm.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59This gave Farmer sufficient time to carry out the offence,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01and subsequently to attend the hospital
0:18:01 > 0:18:03in the effort to fabricate an alibi.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Furthermore, the hospital found nothing wrong with Farmer.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07He was discharged,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10which fits with the whole thing being a deliberate deception.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11No, no, no, no. No.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Look, this is information you should have known earlier,
0:18:14 > 0:18:16DCI Huntley, far, far earlier,
0:18:16 > 0:18:19and in my view, the reason you didn't know it
0:18:19 > 0:18:21is because you were itching to charge this suspect,
0:18:21 > 0:18:22come what may.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24That's an inflammatory accusation.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Federation rep or not, you will address me as "sir".
0:18:27 > 0:18:30And as far as I'm concerned, DCI Huntley,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32two hours is an extremely narrow margin
0:18:32 > 0:18:35for our fella to abduct that wee girl,
0:18:35 > 0:18:36transport her across town,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38do away with her,
0:18:38 > 0:18:39and then get himself up to the hospital.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46DS Arnott.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Image 47 again.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53The man you say is Michael Farmer, despite his partial alibi.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Biometric analysis of the suspect.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Estimation of the suspect's height is limited by large error margins.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01However, the camera angle permits accurate estimation
0:19:01 > 0:19:03of the suspect's shoe size.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I haven't seen this before. Where did you get this?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07The suspect wears size tens.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Michael Farmer wears size eights.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Is someone going to tell me where this came from?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Our source is confidential information.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Item reference TJI-9,
0:19:15 > 0:19:19the previously mentioned boot print detected at Michael Farmer's home.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Size ten.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22No match to any footwear belonging to Michael Farmer.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24There's the man you should be looking for up there.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Sir, I am very grateful for this new information,
0:19:28 > 0:19:32and...I will order my team to look into it without delay.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Ah, well, that's great, but the issue here, DCI Huntley,
0:19:35 > 0:19:37is whether you're fit to be the one giving those orders.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Now, in my opinion, you have failed in your lawful duty
0:19:41 > 0:19:43to consider exculpatory evidence,
0:19:43 > 0:19:46and I am fearful that this young fella, Michael Farmer,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48may suffer a miscarriage of justice.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Therefore, I'm going to recommend to your senior officer
0:19:51 > 0:19:53that a new Senior Investigating Officer be appointed
0:19:53 > 0:19:55to Operation Trapdoor,
0:19:55 > 0:19:56and that you be reassigned.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59This interview is terminated.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18How many ops as big as Trapdoor have you ever run?
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Thought so.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- HASTINGS:- 'You were a bit of a high-flyer in your time, Roseanne, weren't you?'
0:21:56 > 0:22:01- STEVE:- 'Graduate entrant. Fast-tracked for promotion. DI before you were 30.'
0:22:01 > 0:22:02'Then you hit the wall.'
0:22:02 > 0:22:04'I started a family, sir.'
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Yeah, you stood still while other people kept climbing the ladder.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Operation Trapdoor is an extremely high-profile inquiry.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14'Get a result and it puts your stalled career back on track.'
0:22:14 > 0:22:17'This is Tim Ifield. Please leave a message after the beep.'
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Tim, Steve Arnott.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21I know you're on days off, but I need you to return my calls.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23We're looking deeper into the evidence in the Farmer case
0:22:23 > 0:22:25and I need your input.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Thanks again for the biometrics - they worked a treat, mate.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Call me, OK?
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- All right.- All right. - I didn't know you were in.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37I just listened to the DIR of your interview with Huntley.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39She isn't the first SIO to buff evidence...
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- She took it badly. - Is that how it seemed to you?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Congratulations!
0:22:45 > 0:22:46Ah, thanks, Maneet.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48What's that?
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Only gone and passed the National Inspectors' Exam.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Congratulations.- Cheers, mate.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57I didn't know you'd entered.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Well, I kept shtum in case I went down in flames.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02I know it's a bit soon, but I took so long getting my act together to make DS,
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I'm not going to let things slide.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- You're coming up on the rails. - Yeah, you...- BOTH: Better watch out.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Well done, mate.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Kate.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24Well.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26This is great news. Congratulations. Well done.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27Thank you very much, sir.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29I mean, you know, it's great for you,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31reflects well on the department, and, er...
0:23:31 > 0:23:34I shall be taking my fair share of the credit, don't you worry.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36THEY LAUGH But, you know...
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Anyway, I think we should find a bit of time and maybe, you know,
0:23:39 > 0:23:41we could discuss your future.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Yeah, I'd like that, sir, thank you.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45I'm following the shift pattern of my undercover,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47but I could do a drink one night?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Erm...
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Or in the office next week.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Yeah. That's the ticket.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Anyway, look. Well done, again.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- Thanks again, sir! - Yeah, really well done.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Look lively. New gaffer's ready.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- Morning. - Morning, sir.- Morning, sir.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37For those who don't know me, I'm DCI Ian Buckells.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39And for those who don't read the Chief Super's e-mails,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I'm now running Operation Trapdoor.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48First order of business, a possible alibi for Michael Farmer
0:24:48 > 0:24:51and some biometrics relating to Balaclava Man.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58DCI Buckells?
0:24:59 > 0:25:02DS Arnott. Come with me, please, sir.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- Now, you know who I am, don't you, son?- Yes, sir.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19You were a DI at Kingsgate nick during an undercover operation
0:25:19 > 0:25:22that was carried out by one of my team in 2012.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25The officers she's working with at present have all been vetted,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27but none of us could anticipate that
0:25:27 > 0:25:30the new senior investigating officer was going to be you.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Now, I do not want to pull my officer off this job
0:25:33 > 0:25:36and I'm sure you don't want to see all that time
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- and money and effort to go up the spout, do you, son?- No, sir.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Because if it did, the world and his wife would know who's to blame.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir. That's the spirit.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58'This is Tim Ifield. Please leave a message after the beep.'
0:25:58 > 0:26:00PHONE RINGS
0:26:00 > 0:26:01Hi.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Has Tim Ifield come back to work yet?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05He hasn't been returning my calls.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Negative.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08Received.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29DOOR BUZZES
0:26:39 > 0:26:42DOOR BUZZES
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- WOMAN:- 'Hello?'
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Police officer. I'm sorry to trouble you.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Could you let me into the building, please?
0:26:48 > 0:26:50DOOR BUZZES
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Thanks, miss. Stay where you are, please.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Tim? Steve Arnott!
0:27:09 > 0:27:10Tim? Steve!
0:27:11 > 0:27:15- When did you see him last? - Not for a few days.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Stay out and control access. In with me.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06You're not getting anywhere near this.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Calm down, mate, what do you expect?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Crime's up on the box and it's one of their own.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12What's it look like up there?
0:28:12 > 0:28:13You've got an interest and I get that.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15This should be handled by an external team
0:28:15 > 0:28:16if only for welfare issues.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19We're three DSs and one DC. Who put you in charge?
0:28:19 > 0:28:20This has all gone through my gaffer.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23You want to take it up with him, be my guest.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31What did you expect, mate? We had to tell our gaffer.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- Who's in charge here?- I am. - You're relieved.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35Wait. What authority do you have?
0:28:35 > 0:28:39This isn't Operation Trapdoor. I'm Duty DCI on Major Violent Crime.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Jodie, can you get a decision log up and running.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45- Yes, ma'am.- Neil, scene log. - I've already got a scene log going.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Once we've got the scene log up and running, you can sign in,
0:28:48 > 0:28:49we'll go up for a recce.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51No way! No. No. You're not going in.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Great. Please, stand down.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56You've been given a lawful order.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59If DCI Huntley doesn't put you on paper, I will.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Principal point of entry.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Damage due to forced entry by police officers this afternoon
0:29:24 > 0:29:26under Section 17, Preservation of Life.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Looks like the offender did a pretty decent job
0:29:38 > 0:29:40of cleaning up after himself.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44You OK?
0:29:44 > 0:29:45Go ahead.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49These tools, whatever they were for,
0:29:49 > 0:29:51haven't been used.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Cause of death looks like the neck laceration.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Nicked the jugular vein.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Not much blood on his clothing, considering.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28He'll have taken a while to die.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32From the signs of a clean-up, he could've been moving around.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Distal portions of second,
0:30:34 > 0:30:36third and fourth digits of
0:30:36 > 0:30:37right hand have been amputated.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45I'll just have a look round the other rooms quickly
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- and then I want to get the team in, if that's OK?- Fine.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- FC. You're good to come up. - 'Received.'
0:30:52 > 0:30:54You're taking it worse than me.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56I didn't realise you were so close.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Just when it's someone you know.
0:30:59 > 0:31:00Senseless.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Action area seems to be round the body.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Not much in the way of spatter, but swab what you can,
0:31:11 > 0:31:14plus all potential points of entry.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36DCI Huntley.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39We should talk outside and let the forensics crack on, yeah?
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Blood splatter.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43Brilliant, Kevin.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47- Let's get this spatter photographed, marked and swabbed.- On it.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50DCI Huntley.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Very good, sir.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Well done, everyone, I'll be on the radio outside if you need me.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Yeah, it's OK. I've got this, DS Arnott. Thank you.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Are you feeling unwell, DCI Huntley?
0:32:12 > 0:32:15He was one of our own and it's already been a stressful week.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Yes. In which case, DS Arnott's point about the value
0:32:17 > 0:32:20of an outside investigation is well made.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22With respect, sir, I disagree.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25This is our patch, our victim, our specialisation.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28In my considered opinion, we're best qualified to handle this.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33Hang on a second. I'm the senior ranking officer here, darling.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Yes, you are, and I'd thank you to use gender-neutral language,
0:32:35 > 0:32:38and remind you that this is a fresh investigation
0:32:38 > 0:32:40bearing no relation to Operation Trapdoor.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43You're at liberty to take this up with my supervision team.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44But in the meantime,
0:32:44 > 0:32:48I'm going to get on with finding the bastard who did this. Sir.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Look, we all knew Tim Ifield,
0:32:52 > 0:32:54but it's important we don't let our emotions get on top of us.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56We still need to do everything by the book.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58That wee girl has just turned the corner with me.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01No way can she run this, sir.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02All right, back to work.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06Tim Ifield was our best asset in clearing Michael Farmer.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10- We've just lost him. - Superintendent Hastings.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Look, why don't you take yourself off home. Yeah?
0:33:15 > 0:33:19Nice one, ma'am. AC-12 leaving with their tail between their legs.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56That's the swab of worktop blood spatter. Item reference KRG-13.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28PHONE RINGS
0:34:28 > 0:34:29'Yeah?'
0:34:29 > 0:34:31'Tim was convinced there was a conspiracy to protect
0:34:31 > 0:34:33'a suspect in the offences'
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Michael Farmer's been charged with.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Sounds like a motive to kill him.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Or another suspect wouldn't be the only person to benefit.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41What do you mean?
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Is there any way Huntley could have known about Tim coming to us?
0:34:43 > 0:34:45'Not that I know of.'
0:34:45 > 0:34:47And you said in her interview she was repeatedly caught out
0:34:47 > 0:34:50by evidence supplied by Tim.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53'I don't think she had any idea Tim was talking to us.'
0:34:54 > 0:34:56'Can't talk now, I'm at work.'
0:34:56 > 0:34:59- See you.- Cheers. See you.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- Is all the evidence back from the crime scene?- Yeah.
0:36:40 > 0:36:41Would you do me a huge favour
0:36:41 > 0:36:43and see if they found a laptop or mobile phone?
0:36:46 > 0:36:47Yeah, OK.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- Hey, Kev.- All right, mate.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Yeah, but don't tell me you couldn't use the exercise.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Cheeky bugger.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57You can talk, a bit of running around wouldn't do you any harm.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Night, night, mate.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Good night.
0:38:10 > 0:38:11Sorry.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- No mobile or laptop found. - Oh, well. Thanks, anyway.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- Long night.- No worries. Night, night.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02I thought I heard your car ages ago.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04I got called out again straightaway.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07I didn't want to wake you.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Fingerprints and DNA detected at Tim's flat
0:39:22 > 0:39:25all matched Tim Ifield, no-one else, unfortunately.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27What about the blood spatter found on the worktop?
0:39:30 > 0:39:35KRG-13. Sorry, ma'am, that matched to Tim Ifield's blood as well.
0:39:37 > 0:39:38OK.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41A thorough search of the flat failed to recover Tim Ifield's
0:39:41 > 0:39:43mobile phone and laptop computer.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46So we can assume that the killer stole the phone and the laptop.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Is there a track on the phone?
0:39:48 > 0:39:50The last recorded position was Tim's flat,
0:39:50 > 0:39:52so whoever took it was smart enough to switch it off.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54That's frustrating.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Maybe Tim had been in communication with the killer?
0:39:59 > 0:40:03- I've been in touch with his service providers...- Yes?
0:40:03 > 0:40:04Someone's come up in his contacts.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Who?
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Who?
0:40:19 > 0:40:21'We're going to record this, Hana. Is that OK?
0:40:21 > 0:40:24- 'Yes, of course.- Thank you.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27- 'Would you like a tea or a coffee? - I'm fine, thank you.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28'OK, Hana. I'm DC Jodie Taylor.'
0:40:28 > 0:40:31The limitations of your secondment have been agreed.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Timothy Ifield's murder is nothing to do with you.
0:40:34 > 0:40:35With respect, ma'am,
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Hana Reznikova was supposedly the intended third victim.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40If anything's a link to my case, this is.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43'We'd like to ask you some questions about a man named Timothy Ifield.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45'Do you know the name?'
0:40:45 > 0:40:46'Yes.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48'How do you know him?'
0:40:48 > 0:40:51He was a customer at the cafe where I work.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54And I leave out business cards for my cleaning work
0:40:54 > 0:40:56and he told me he needed a cleaner.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58And how many times did you go to his flat?
0:40:58 > 0:40:59Only once.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02He told me to come when he was home so he could explain to me
0:41:02 > 0:41:04what work he needed me to do and we could agree the price.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07And did you see Timothy Ifield that day?
0:41:07 > 0:41:09- No.- Why not?
0:41:09 > 0:41:11He texted me.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13'We have a text message from Tim's phone to yours.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15' "Ill. Don't come in." '
0:41:15 > 0:41:16Yes.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18'A few seconds later there was a second message.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21' "Sorry! Will call later to fix new appointment."
0:41:21 > 0:41:23'Yes.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25- 'And did he call?- No.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29'I suppose I thought he'd changed his mind about the cleaning.'
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Did you know Tim Ifield in any other way?
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Did you know what work he did? Anything else he was involved in?
0:41:35 > 0:41:37No.
0:41:38 > 0:41:43'Tim was on site the night you were rescued from Michael Farmer's house.'
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Do you remember him at all, Hana?
0:41:48 > 0:41:49No.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Whatever Hana knew, Tim definitely knew who Hana was.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Yes.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57What was he doing, getting her round his flat?
0:41:57 > 0:42:01This has come as a shock for all of us.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Thanks for letting me in on this, ma'am.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08Look, I know we've had our differences, but for what it's worth
0:42:08 > 0:42:11I don't think they'd have replaced you as SIO if you were a bloke.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12'..locks had been tampered with?
0:42:12 > 0:42:13'No, I don't think so.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16'Have you received any unusual calls or e-mails since then?
0:42:18 > 0:42:19'No.'
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Huntley's relented a bit as far as I'm concerned
0:42:21 > 0:42:24and I've managed to get eyes on Tim's communication history.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Fortunately, nothing connecting him to us.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Turns out that Tim was a bit of a security nut,
0:42:29 > 0:42:32so there was nothing backed up online either, according to his ISP.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35There's nothing suggesting he alerted anyone but us about
0:42:35 > 0:42:38the possibility of another suspect in Michael Farmer's offences.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Also zero communication between Tim and Huntley in
0:42:41 > 0:42:43the time before his death.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Their last communication was professional,
0:42:45 > 0:42:48e-mails about forensics sent on the night of Farmer's arrest.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Since then, nothing.
0:42:50 > 0:42:51Right.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Is there any clues as to what Tim was doing
0:42:53 > 0:42:55getting Hana to come to his flat?
0:42:55 > 0:42:57No. It's a blank. We're running background checks on Hana,
0:42:57 > 0:42:59but she still appears to be an innocent party.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Her explanation holds up as to why she was
0:43:01 > 0:43:03the last person contacted by Tim.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Either Tim sent the text himself,
0:43:05 > 0:43:07or, if he was dead already, the killer did.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Well, that fits with the phone being stolen by the killer.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12Tim had a hi-tech security system installed in his flat,
0:43:12 > 0:43:14and the cameras fed direct to his computer.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16There's no images stored anywhere else.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18It's another reason we need to find his phone and computer.
0:43:18 > 0:43:22- Yeah, we do.- Night, mate.- Night.
0:43:45 > 0:43:49Hi, it's DC Taylor again. I have an ISP address.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52It's timothy.j.ifield.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55Ifield is I-F-I-E-L-D.
0:44:00 > 0:44:02I'll phone you back.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05No. Please, as you were.
0:44:05 > 0:44:09Firstly, the Chief Superintendent and I would like to express
0:44:09 > 0:44:13our condolences for the loss of one of your forensic coordinators.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15DCI Huntley, good to see you.
0:44:15 > 0:44:17We're going to do everything in our power to find his killer.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20We're delving into his personal life, sir, explore that angle.
0:44:20 > 0:44:24Also looking at the possibility this is some kind of revenge attack, sir.
0:44:24 > 0:44:26Recently released offenders Tim might have helped put away.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29He was such a decent, hard-working bloke, sir.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32- It's so hard to fathom a grudge. - Of course.
0:44:33 > 0:44:38- Right, well. Carry on. - We'll find the culprit, sir.
0:44:38 > 0:44:41I wonder if I could have a moment in private, sir?
0:44:41 > 0:44:43You've not responded to any of my calls regarding the decision
0:44:43 > 0:44:45to replace me.
0:44:45 > 0:44:49You need clarity. But it's AC-12. It's out of my hands.
0:44:50 > 0:44:54I'm on a tight schedule. I'm sorry. Moving on. Operation Trapdoor.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57- Sir.- Ah. Any new leads, Buckells?
0:44:57 > 0:44:59The body parts we found are the partial remains of
0:44:59 > 0:45:02Leonie Collersdale, the second prostitute that went missing.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05Unfortunately they were clean of anyone else's DNA.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07Small mercies,
0:45:07 > 0:45:10at least we're allowed to call them prostitutes again.
0:45:16 > 0:45:19Got you a big pint of that cats' piss
0:45:19 > 0:45:21that you young fellas seem to like so much.
0:45:22 > 0:45:26- That whisky's probably older than me.- Aye. And all the better for it.
0:45:30 > 0:45:32No, I just thought this would be a...
0:45:32 > 0:45:35a better way for us to discuss your ambitions.
0:45:36 > 0:45:37I know that if I put you on a case,
0:45:37 > 0:45:40you'll see it through to the bitter end, come what may.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43- Thank you, sir.- And stepping up to inspector, it's, er...
0:45:45 > 0:45:47..same proposition. There's no half measures.
0:45:47 > 0:45:50I'm ready and able, sir. Whatever it takes.
0:45:55 > 0:45:59Do you mind if I ask if you're having a meeting with Kate, too?
0:45:59 > 0:46:01I can hardly meet her for a drink, can I?
0:46:01 > 0:46:03An attractive young woman like that. How would it look?
0:46:03 > 0:46:07I might as well be seen running around with one of Pan's People.
0:46:10 > 0:46:14- Anyway, it's good to talk, sir. - Oh, yeah.- Your health.- Yeah.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14- Tim Ifield's postmortem report. - Great.
0:47:18 > 0:47:20Cause of death was exsanguination, following
0:47:20 > 0:47:23a wound to the neck that severed his jugular vein.
0:47:23 > 0:47:24Now, it's a shallow wound so possibly there's
0:47:24 > 0:47:27a question mark over the level of intent.
0:47:27 > 0:47:29Also a partial thickness burn on the left hand
0:47:29 > 0:47:30with traces of cooking oil.
0:47:30 > 0:47:32The shallowness of the burn, though, suggests this
0:47:32 > 0:47:35was accidental and related to a frying pan found at the scene.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37Furthermore, defensive wounds on the hands support
0:47:37 > 0:47:39a struggle of some kind.
0:47:39 > 0:47:42Bloodstaining of Tim's clothing was disproportionately low,
0:47:42 > 0:47:44suggesting an outer layer of clothing was removed.
0:47:44 > 0:47:48And white, high-density polythene fibres detected on Tim's clothing
0:47:48 > 0:47:50suggest he was wearing a forensic oversuit at the time of death.
0:47:50 > 0:47:53As you know, sir, they're designed not to lint,
0:47:53 > 0:47:55which suggests he was involved in a struggle.
0:47:55 > 0:47:57It sounds like the killer was worried that the suit
0:47:57 > 0:48:00- was contaminated with his DNA. - Most likely, sir.
0:48:00 > 0:48:02His fingertips were amputated postmortem,
0:48:02 > 0:48:04presumably as part of the killer's forensic clean-up.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07So we're surmising that Tim tried to grab a handful of his assailant.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10Yes, sir. Tim might've realised his wound was fatal and
0:48:10 > 0:48:13he probably did his best to contaminate the killer with
0:48:13 > 0:48:15his blood and to get some skin cells under his fingernails.
0:48:15 > 0:48:17Unfortunately for us, the killer was wise to it.
0:48:17 > 0:48:21He disposed of the clothes and then he disposed of the fingers.
0:48:21 > 0:48:24There are no witnesses to anyone entering or leaving the premises.
0:48:24 > 0:48:29- But we can construct a basic profile of the killer.- Very good.
0:48:29 > 0:48:31Pre-mortem pattern of injuries suggests the killer and Tim
0:48:31 > 0:48:33got into some kind of altercation.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35And he took the time to carry out
0:48:35 > 0:48:37a comprehensive clean-up of the crime scene.
0:48:37 > 0:48:39The only anomaly is he didn't remove the body.
0:48:41 > 0:48:45- What are you thinking, son? - The killer was disturbed.
0:48:45 > 0:48:48Most likely this was Hana Reznikova when she arrived at the flat
0:48:48 > 0:48:50to carry out cleaning work.
0:48:52 > 0:48:54And something else?
0:48:54 > 0:48:57Or the killer was incapable of lifting the body.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59Small, or female, or both.
0:49:03 > 0:49:04It's only a possibility, sir.
0:49:04 > 0:49:08We are in no position to consider Roz Huntley as a suspect,
0:49:08 > 0:49:09not without cause.
0:49:09 > 0:49:13- I think we should keep an open mind, sir.- Well, that's a given.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15We should run a parallel investigation, sir,
0:49:15 > 0:49:18into Huntley and into Tim's murder, with zero reciprocity.
0:49:18 > 0:49:21- Kill two birds with one stone. - Kate's close to her.
0:49:21 > 0:49:24Let's see what she brings back first, all right?
0:49:44 > 0:49:46DS Twyler from Polk Avenue Station.
0:49:46 > 0:49:50I'm chasing up an admission on 25th of January. Michael Farmer.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55Ma'am, I need to follow up
0:49:55 > 0:49:57on a couple of points from your interview.
0:49:57 > 0:50:00Put them in writing. You'll get an answer in ten working days.
0:50:00 > 0:50:04The longer our inquiry takes, the longer you're out in the cold.
0:50:07 > 0:50:08What do you want?
0:50:10 > 0:50:13How would you describe your relationship with Tim Ifield?
0:50:16 > 0:50:19We were colleagues.
0:50:19 > 0:50:22Not close. But we respected each other.
0:50:22 > 0:50:25Certainly, from my side, that's how it seemed.
0:50:25 > 0:50:27You think he thought different?
0:50:28 > 0:50:31- Who knows what people think of each other?- That your answer?
0:50:31 > 0:50:34We didn't talk much, didn't socialise.
0:50:34 > 0:50:36So you've never been to his flat?
0:50:37 > 0:50:41Yes. To investigate his murder.
0:50:41 > 0:50:42I mean while he was alive.
0:50:44 > 0:50:45No.
0:50:46 > 0:50:48OK.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50Thanks, ma'am, that's been very helpful.
0:50:54 > 0:50:57Ideally, I'd like to come up to the hospital and talk to
0:50:57 > 0:50:59'anyone who can account for the whereabouts
0:50:59 > 0:51:01'of Mr Farmer on the night of the 25th...'
0:51:48 > 0:51:51- Oh, OK, that's a pain.- Rupal?
0:51:51 > 0:51:53Sorry, is this a good time?
0:51:53 > 0:51:55- E-mail me when you've got it. - OK.- Thanks.
0:51:57 > 0:52:00- What's up?- I heard we didn't find any foreign DNA
0:52:00 > 0:52:02on Leonie Collersdale's body.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04Pisser. We did a thorough job.
0:52:08 > 0:52:09Would you mind having another go?
0:52:10 > 0:52:14DCI Buckells is SIO now.
0:52:14 > 0:52:15Sorry.
0:52:15 > 0:52:17Rupal.
0:52:18 > 0:52:20I'm not broadcasting this...
0:52:22 > 0:52:24..but I'm asking for it in relation to Tim's murder.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27I don't see the connection.
0:52:27 > 0:52:31At this stage of the inquiry, it's highly confidential. I'm sorry.
0:52:31 > 0:52:34- Would you mind?- Uh, sure.
0:52:34 > 0:52:36OK.
0:52:36 > 0:52:37Thanks, Rupal.
0:52:56 > 0:52:57Come in.
0:52:57 > 0:52:58Ah, Kate.
0:52:59 > 0:53:02Yes, thanks for coming in. Hmm.
0:53:02 > 0:53:04I've considered your application.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07And you really are a tremendous asset to this department,
0:53:07 > 0:53:10but I just think you need to develop your leadership qualities
0:53:10 > 0:53:12a bit more before I can support you for inspector.
0:53:12 > 0:53:14I'm sorry.
0:53:14 > 0:53:15Right. I see, sir.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17Will it be Steve?
0:53:18 > 0:53:21Well, look, in my view, he just has those extra years under his belt.
0:53:21 > 0:53:23You know what I mean. It was a close-run thing, Kate,
0:53:23 > 0:53:26- very close indeed.- Thank you, sir.
0:53:49 > 0:53:52- That raises the possibility that this person...- Morning.
0:53:52 > 0:53:56..is involved in the murders of the two prostitutes and Tim Ifield.
0:54:00 > 0:54:03Any further progress on finding the rest of Leonie Collersdale's body?
0:54:03 > 0:54:07Sorry, boss, no more biological material was found at the scene.
0:54:07 > 0:54:10Although no more biological material was found at the site of Leonie
0:54:10 > 0:54:14Collersdale's body parts, there has been a significant new finding...
0:54:15 > 0:54:19- Yes?- I'm not sure I should say it in front of everyone.
0:54:20 > 0:54:23This was from further tests ordered by DCI Huntley.
0:54:29 > 0:54:33- What are you doing interfering with my operation?- I'm not.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38So what is this significant new finding?
0:54:38 > 0:54:41Everyone needs to be across this. Come on.
0:54:53 > 0:54:54Go ahead, Rupal.
0:54:54 > 0:54:58A trace of foreign DNA was found on Leonie Collersdale's partial torso.
0:54:58 > 0:55:03- ID?- Yes. It matches to Tim Ifield.
0:55:10 > 0:55:14- What we just heard does not leave this room.- Jesus Christ!
0:55:29 > 0:55:30Stop.
0:55:35 > 0:55:36Move.
0:55:45 > 0:55:50- Beast's made a right mess for himself.- I didn't do it.
0:55:51 > 0:55:54- Someone else must have. - Beast makes a mess,
0:55:54 > 0:55:57- Beast gets to live in it. - I didn't do it. I didn't do it.
0:56:02 > 0:56:06We're all in shock. That's why I wanted to include you, sir,
0:56:06 > 0:56:08before someone makes a rash move.
0:56:08 > 0:56:11Thank you, Roz. Do you have a hypothesis yet?
0:56:11 > 0:56:14Naturally, we're asking ourselves questions about Tim Ifield's
0:56:14 > 0:56:17private life but, frankly, sir,
0:56:17 > 0:56:19I'm struggling to make sense of it all myself.
0:56:19 > 0:56:25- Understood. Absolutely. Well done for keeping a lid on this.- Sir.
0:56:25 > 0:56:28- Thank you, Roz.- If I may, sir?
0:56:30 > 0:56:31There's also the question
0:56:31 > 0:56:33of who was the source of AC-12's case against me.
0:56:33 > 0:56:37In my interview, they said it was confidential but we found
0:56:37 > 0:56:39Tim's flat full of conspiracy theories
0:56:39 > 0:56:43and it occurs to me the most likely informant was Tim Ifield.
0:56:45 > 0:56:48In which case, his credibility is completely undermined.
0:56:48 > 0:56:50I'm worried Tim Ifield
0:56:50 > 0:56:53was deliberately confounding the investigation to cover his tracks.
0:56:53 > 0:56:56And now AC-12 are doing his work for him.
0:56:56 > 0:56:57Between you and me,
0:56:57 > 0:57:01I was never happy with AC-12's recommendation to replace you.
0:57:01 > 0:57:02Thank you, sir.
0:57:02 > 0:57:06Still, Operation Trapdoor belongs to Ian Buckells now,
0:57:06 > 0:57:09and he's looking at evidence exculpating Michael Farmer.
0:57:09 > 0:57:11Will he find any, do you think?
0:57:11 > 0:57:14The best he's got is a boot print from Farmer's home
0:57:14 > 0:57:17and that, in itself, does nothing to overturn the weight of
0:57:17 > 0:57:20inculpatory evidence against Michael Farmer,
0:57:20 > 0:57:24even if we do now have to examine Tim Ifield's role in all this.
0:57:24 > 0:57:28AC-12's inquiry seriously threatens the force's credibility.
0:57:28 > 0:57:32And if I were to go against their recommendations...
0:57:32 > 0:57:34if I were to reinstate you...?
0:57:35 > 0:57:37I'm convinced Tim Ifield's murder
0:57:37 > 0:57:39and Michael Farmer's crimes are connected.
0:57:39 > 0:57:42I believe I've demonstrated complete discretion.
0:57:42 > 0:57:45No-one looks good if it comes out one of our forensic staff
0:57:45 > 0:57:46tampered with evidence.
0:57:46 > 0:57:49No-one looks good if it comes out we've charged the wrong man.
