0:00:02 > 0:00:04- What's her name?- Rose Stagg. She's the woman we've been searching for.

0:00:04 > 0:00:07The gunshot wound that's coming in, we think he's responsible for this.

0:00:07 > 0:00:10- How's he doing? - I don't know.

0:00:10 > 0:00:13He's lost so much blood, he looks like he's dying.

0:00:13 > 0:00:16So he's the Belfast Strangler? Wow.

0:00:16 > 0:00:21Daddy's been in an accident. He's in hospital.

0:00:21 > 0:00:24- I really want to see him. - Well, we can't, not tonight.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26Olivia!

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Why did you run to him?

0:00:28 > 0:00:31You were crying out, "We're losing him." You sounded very...anguished.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33I want him to live.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36So that he can be tried and sentenced

0:00:36 > 0:00:38and spend the rest of his life in prison.

0:00:38 > 0:00:42- VOICE BREAKING:- He's in hospital. In the General Hospital, I think.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44I really need you to go there.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46What do I...? I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

0:00:46 > 0:00:53This programme contains some strong language and some scenes which viewers may find upsetting

0:00:57 > 0:00:58You shouldn't be in here.

0:01:00 > 0:01:01Please leave.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26VENTILATOR EXPANDS AND CONTRACTS

0:04:17 > 0:04:21- What are you doing here? - I'm on my way to the Policing Board.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23I have a meeting with Ombudsman's SIO.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26- We can drop you off. - No, I have my car.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27It can follow.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56I've been instructed to confirm Spector's name to the press.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00- Why? - The name is out there.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03It'll just look foolish if we continue to deny something

0:05:03 > 0:05:06that everybody else already knows.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09The DPP and the Chief think it's in the public's interest.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14I want him tried in a court of law, Jim,

0:05:14 > 0:05:16not in a court of public opinion.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18It's already a media circus.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22Anyway, the decision's been made.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28We're only holding two cards, Stella.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30One - we have him.

0:05:30 > 0:05:35Two - we have her, and she's alive. The rest is a disaster.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Is that what you wanted to tell me?

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Actually, no.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45The Task Force is being moved.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48What do you mean?

0:05:48 > 0:05:52From the Major Investigation Room, from College Square Station.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54Why?

0:05:54 > 0:05:58The room and the offices are needed by the Terrorist Investigations Unit.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Moved where?- I don't know.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06It's an office, an empty space, I haven't seen it.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08When is this happening?

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Right now, actually, as we speak.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Why wasn't I informed? - There's been quite a lot going on.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37SHE WINCES

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Katie, you'll be late for school!

0:07:17 > 0:07:20Why did you bring Anderson onto your team?

0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Why do you ask?- Because it's a question that's likely to be asked

0:07:24 > 0:07:26by people other than me.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Because we lacked someone of his rank in our Task Force.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33Yes, but...why him?

0:07:33 > 0:07:36He impressed me with the way he handled the McPherson suicide.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39He thought of Rose, he called the Task Force and...

0:07:41 > 0:07:42..he secured the scene efficiently.

0:07:42 > 0:07:46Except that it wasn't Rose, and he failed to see a ligature

0:07:46 > 0:07:49hanging from a tree branch above the body.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52I didn't say he was the finished article, Jim, I saw potential.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55I see.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01What are you getting at?

0:08:02 > 0:08:06I questioned whether Anderson was man enough for the task

0:08:06 > 0:08:08of being shackled to Spector!

0:08:10 > 0:08:13Anderson's size and strength

0:08:13 > 0:08:17had no bearing whatsoever on what happened in the forest.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19If the nerve damage to his arm doesn't repair,

0:08:19 > 0:08:21he will be out of a career.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25Questioning his manliness is quite frankly pathetic!

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Why did he arrive with you in your car that morning?

0:08:38 > 0:08:42- Eastwood. - No. No, not Eastwood.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44- I checked with the main gate.- Why?

0:08:44 > 0:08:48Because everything you do, every decision you make

0:08:48 > 0:08:50impacts on this case, Stella.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Same goes for you, Jim.

0:09:13 > 0:09:14Drive on.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23SHE BREATHES SHAKILY

0:09:29 > 0:09:31RADIO PLAYS

0:09:31 > 0:09:32Why aren't you in uniform?

0:09:32 > 0:09:36I have an exam. You don't have to wear a uniform to an exam.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38You can't go out dressed like that.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41- Come here. - I'm late.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43What is that?

0:09:43 > 0:09:45Oh, my God - is that real?

0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Of course it's real. - When did you do that?

0:09:48 > 0:09:50- Just now.- Why?

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Why not?

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Katie, it looks awful.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56That's all you ever care about, isn't it?

0:09:56 > 0:09:59How I look, never how I feel.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Katie!

0:10:14 > 0:10:15Have you given your statement?

0:10:15 > 0:10:18- Yes, ma'am. - How did it go?

0:10:18 > 0:10:23I've been suspended from all front-line duties while the investigation is ongoing.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26He was armed. And he fired first.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29And given his character and his past,

0:10:29 > 0:10:31I don't think you have anything to worry about.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35Apart from taking another human being's life.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41Not every woman's fighting instinct is so close to the surface.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44It's a good thing that yours was.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Tyler could have killed everyone there,

0:10:46 > 0:10:49including you and me, if he hadn't been stopped.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE

0:10:54 > 0:10:57Why don't you come back, work with the Task Force?

0:11:00 > 0:11:04- Really? - Hmm. You know the case.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06You'd be a real help in file preparation.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12We've chosen to work in a masculine, paramilitary, patriarchal culture.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Let's not let it beat us.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Thank you, ma'am.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33- How is he? - He's been stable all night.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36Urine output steady, 30% oxygen...

0:11:36 > 0:11:40pH is normal, lactate is one. Hb was steady.

0:11:40 > 0:11:41What's his co-ag now?

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Normal, Hb is 102.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46He's ready to rock. When will you be taking him?

0:11:46 > 0:11:48He's booked on the emergency list.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50- Has he been X-rayed?- Aye.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Are they bullet fragments? - Will you do anything about them?

0:11:59 > 0:12:01No, I wouldn't normally. They're tiny.

0:12:01 > 0:12:02They won't clinically affect him.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04I expect the body to encapsulate them.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08- I should think about ten o'clock. - Aye.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31Please wait here.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Good afternoon and welcome to this private session

0:12:42 > 0:12:44of the Policing Executive.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46I'd like to welcome the Chief Constable

0:12:46 > 0:12:51and the Assistant Chief Constable Crime Operations, Jim Burns.

0:12:51 > 0:12:56We'll start with Executive members' questions to the Chief Constable.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58John Porter, please.

0:12:58 > 0:12:59Thank you, Chairperson.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02Can the Chief Constable please provide us with an update

0:13:02 > 0:13:05on the progress of the Operation Music Man Task Force?

0:13:08 > 0:13:11I'd like to invite ACC Burns to answer that one.

0:13:16 > 0:13:17Detective Superintendent Gibson?

0:13:17 > 0:13:20I'm Joan Kinkead, The Ombudsman's SIO.

0:13:20 > 0:13:21Please follow me.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27Please, take a seat.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31Am I being interviewed under caution?

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Yes, you are.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35Why wasn't I told in advance?

0:13:35 > 0:13:38You're not under arrest. You're free to leave the interview at any time,

0:13:38 > 0:13:40seek legal advice at any time.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44Do you want time to prepare? To arrange representation?

0:13:45 > 0:13:49Are you suggesting there are grounds for suspecting I've committed a criminal offence?

0:13:51 > 0:13:53If so, what offence?

0:13:54 > 0:13:57If you're staying, please take a seat and turn off your mobile phone.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01What offence?

0:14:02 > 0:14:06James Tyler had been physically violent towards the prisoner before.

0:14:06 > 0:14:07He had become obsessed, it seems,

0:14:07 > 0:14:10with the idea that the prisoner and his wife were having

0:14:10 > 0:14:12some kind of sexual relationship,

0:14:12 > 0:14:15something that we now believe to be untrue.

0:14:15 > 0:14:19Even so, even given James Tyler's history of sectarian violence,

0:14:19 > 0:14:22there was no evidence or intelligence to suggest that...

0:14:22 > 0:14:26that he would go to such lengths to mount an attack on the prisoner.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Even though you knew he was in possession of a weapon?

0:14:29 > 0:14:32Having previously disarmed a police officer and stolen a police handgun.

0:14:32 > 0:14:33Even so.

0:14:33 > 0:14:38Well, can you tell me how that's even possible,

0:14:38 > 0:14:41with a coiled lanyard attaching the gun to the gun belt?

0:14:44 > 0:14:46The young officer in question had, for some reason...

0:14:48 > 0:14:50..failed to secure his gun with the lanyard.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58The Police Ombudsman investigates all discharges

0:14:58 > 0:15:00of firearms by police in Northern Ireland.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03During the investigation I'll secure statements from the officers

0:15:03 > 0:15:05involved in the incident.

0:15:05 > 0:15:10Now, as I understand, it you were in charge of the police operation?

0:15:10 > 0:15:12Yes, I was.

0:15:12 > 0:15:16Do you think a sufficiently robust risk assessment was carried out

0:15:16 > 0:15:19before the prisoner was moved from the custody suite?

0:15:21 > 0:15:24I asked Custody Sergeant Boyd to do a risk assessment

0:15:24 > 0:15:28of the operation while I briefed Detective Sergeant Anderson.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34Do you think the operation was negligent in any way?

0:15:37 > 0:15:41The prisoner gave us no real information in advance,

0:15:41 > 0:15:45gave us no indication whether Rose was alive or dead.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48On that basis the search scenario that was agreed with Ged Green,

0:15:48 > 0:15:52the PolSA, was for the whole, alive or deceased,

0:15:52 > 0:15:55non-concealed presence of Rose Stagg.

0:15:55 > 0:15:59If that did not succeed, it was agreed that we would search

0:15:59 > 0:16:02the same area for the deceased, dismembered,

0:16:02 > 0:16:04sub-surface concealed remains of Rose Stagg.

0:16:04 > 0:16:08We had cover on the ground,

0:16:08 > 0:16:11there was air support with thermal imaging.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13There wasn't time to arrange for dogs.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19Do you have your decision log with you?

0:16:19 > 0:16:20Yes.

0:16:20 > 0:16:25I've been policing for nearly 30 years, most of it here in Northern Ireland.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Now, we've had more than our fair share of murderers,

0:16:27 > 0:16:30some of them no doubt psychopaths, but none...

0:16:30 > 0:16:33none like this prisoner.

0:16:34 > 0:16:40Stella Gibson had - and still has - a special skill set developed over

0:16:40 > 0:16:43the course of the long investigation into the Moon case that she led.

0:16:43 > 0:16:48She is a dedicated and hard-working officer,

0:16:48 > 0:16:50and an inspirational leader.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54I kept in constant contact with ACC Burns and DCI Eastwood

0:16:54 > 0:16:56in the Serious Crime Suite.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58It was previously agreed that the convoy would be kept small

0:16:58 > 0:17:01so that it didn't attract attention.

0:17:01 > 0:17:05An ambulance, a second police car and Inspector Green's TSGs

0:17:05 > 0:17:08joined us at a previously agreed rendezvous point.

0:17:09 > 0:17:13It is possible that we could have established

0:17:13 > 0:17:17a more secure cordon in the forest, but everything that was done

0:17:17 > 0:17:22was for the sole aim of saving, if possible, the life of Rose Stagg.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38Who's that?

0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Who is that?- It's just a patient. Road traffic accident.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44Who was it?

0:17:44 > 0:17:48OK, just relax now. OK, everything's fine, lie back.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51OK, lie down for me. Come on, lie down and relax.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53ROSE PANTS

0:17:53 > 0:17:56Just lie back, you're fine, I'm here.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58I need you to do a few big, deep breaths for me, OK?

0:17:58 > 0:18:00Through your nose.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03In nice and deep, and out. Very good.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06There she is.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11Why did you go into the forest on your own?

0:18:11 > 0:18:15I wanted to keep the potential contamination of the scene to a minimum.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20At the car, why didn't you wait to have it assessed for booby traps?

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Were you not taking a considerable risk in forcing it open?

0:18:24 > 0:18:28The individual charged is a murderer, not a terrorist.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34I knew that Rose was in that boot.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36I don't know how I knew, I just knew.

0:18:39 > 0:18:40And I needed to get to her.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45Would it not have been better to try and get into the boot

0:18:45 > 0:18:47through the rear seat?

0:18:50 > 0:18:53In that moment, it didn't occur to me.

0:19:03 > 0:19:07The ED consultant told me, that in his opinion,

0:19:07 > 0:19:10Rose Stagg was very nearly dead when we found her.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14Maybe 15 minutes, maybe an hour away

0:19:14 > 0:19:17from her body simply shutting down.

0:19:20 > 0:19:25Everything that I did was done for the sole purpose

0:19:25 > 0:19:28of saving her life...

0:19:28 > 0:19:32which is, as you know, the first duty of a police officer.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42And what about Mr Spector's life?

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Did you not have a duty to protect that?

0:19:48 > 0:19:50OK, we are going to have to soak this, please.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57MONITORS BLEEP STEADILY

0:19:57 > 0:20:01- We had four packs in here, right? - Yes, that's right.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05One...

0:20:08 > 0:20:09..two...

0:20:10 > 0:20:12Did you draw your weapon?

0:20:12 > 0:20:14I didn't need to.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19The patrol officer acted immediately.

0:20:21 > 0:20:25And if it wasn't for her...many more lives would have been lost.

0:20:26 > 0:20:30I instructed Inspector Green to call for medical back-up.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34The prisoner was dying.

0:20:35 > 0:20:39The ambulance transporting Rose had already left, I didn't think it should be recalled.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42The helicopter couldn't land.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46We waited for the rapid response vehicle and for the second ambulance.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50Meanwhile, the prisoner was bleeding to death.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53He was in your arms?

0:20:55 > 0:20:57Yes, he was.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02I hoped that by holding him that way

0:21:02 > 0:21:05I could keep his airway unblocked, keep him from choking.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09In that position, I could put pressure on his wound.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13I see.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16How much longer?

0:21:17 > 0:21:19Diaphragm is stable.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24OK, I'm running the gut.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28I can't see any re-bleeding.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33OK, that's all fine.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40All right, wash out, please.

0:21:40 > 0:21:41And suction.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48You knew James Tyler had made threats against Mr Spector's life.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52You knew he was at large armed with a gun he'd used to

0:21:52 > 0:21:56terrorise his wife and the other women at the refuge.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58Why was Mr Spector standing out

0:21:58 > 0:22:01in the open and not being held inside a police vehicle?

0:22:01 > 0:22:05Why were neither he nor Detective Sergeant Anderson

0:22:05 > 0:22:08wearing ballistic body armour? Why weren't you?

0:22:10 > 0:22:13The Director of Public Prosecutions George Lowden

0:22:13 > 0:22:16and the Chief Constable Malcolm Franks have decided to take

0:22:16 > 0:22:20the unusual step of naming the man arrested and charged

0:22:20 > 0:22:24in connection with the recent spate of murders in south Belfast.

0:22:24 > 0:22:28I can confirm that the individual is Paul Spector,

0:22:28 > 0:22:30also known as Peter Baldwin,

0:22:30 > 0:22:34a 32-year-old bereavement counsellor from south Belfast.

0:22:34 > 0:22:38He is a married man, the father of two children,

0:22:38 > 0:22:42and as has already been established, he is critically ill in hospital

0:33:16 > 0:33:20but we cannot take our foot off the gas for a minute.

0:33:28 > 0:33:32and construct an evidenced case narrative.

0:33:33 > 0:33:36We need to predict any potential weaknesses in our case

0:43:19 > 0:43:22- That's a shame.- It is.

0:43:43 > 0:43:46We've just landed a not uninteresting little case.

0:43:46 > 0:43:48The telephone call?

0:43:48 > 0:43:51- Do you want in?- Are you going to tell me what it is?

0:43:52 > 0:43:54The Belfast Strangler.

0:43:54 > 0:43:57Or rather, the man the police claim is the Belfast Strangler.

0:43:57 > 0:44:02- The man in hospital?- The same. The name's Paul Spector.

0:44:02 > 0:44:05He's in the critical care unit at the Belfast General Hospital.

0:44:05 > 0:44:08Inform the custody sergeant at the Down Serious Crime Suite

0:44:08 > 0:44:11that we've been retained by the suspect's next of kin,

0:44:11 > 0:44:13namely his wife, Sally Anne Spector.

0:44:13 > 0:44:17Obtain a copy of the charge sheet and the custody record.

0:44:17 > 0:44:19Jennings says he's confessed.

0:44:19 > 0:44:22As soon as you get them, I want those tapes transcribed.

0:44:22 > 0:44:24Through the night, if necessary.

0:44:27 > 0:44:31- DR SPENCER:- You weren't in a crash, Paul. You were shot.

0:44:31 > 0:44:33Shot in the abdomen.

0:44:34 > 0:44:37One of the bullets was superficial, just below the skin.

0:44:39 > 0:44:43The other one pierced the spleen and we think it probably hit a rib,

0:44:43 > 0:44:44because it fragmented.

0:44:44 > 0:44:47The organ was so badly damaged, we had to remove it.

0:44:49 > 0:44:52You're very lucky that the bullets hit no other vital organs,

0:44:52 > 0:44:55but all the same, there was massive blood loss.

0:44:55 > 0:44:57It was touch and go.

0:45:00 > 0:45:02Why was I shot?

0:45:02 > 0:45:04You were in police custody at the time.

0:45:07 > 0:45:08What?

0:45:10 > 0:45:12Why was I in police custody?

0:45:14 > 0:45:18I can't tell you that at the moment, I genuinely don't know the answer.

0:45:20 > 0:45:22It's something you can discuss with your solicitor

0:45:22 > 0:45:24when you're a little stronger.

0:45:25 > 0:45:28A solicitor? Why would I need a solicitor?

0:45:30 > 0:45:33We're only here to look after you medically, Paul. All right?

0:45:33 > 0:45:36The rest is best left to others to explain.

0:45:42 > 0:45:44THUNDER RUMBLES

0:45:45 > 0:45:47PHONE RINGS

0:45:48 > 0:45:51- Gibson. - 'It's Hagstrom again, ma'am.'

0:45:56 > 0:45:57What?

0:45:58 > 0:46:00Why?

0:46:00 > 0:46:01'Something spooked her.'

0:46:01 > 0:46:04She must know Spector's here somehow.

0:46:05 > 0:46:06Jesus.

0:46:07 > 0:46:10- Who's the consultant? - 'Dr Patrick Spencer, ma'am.'

0:46:12 > 0:46:14OK, thanks.

0:46:16 > 0:46:17KNOCK ON DOOR

0:46:19 > 0:46:22I just took a call from Boyd at the custody suite.

0:46:22 > 0:46:26It seems that at his wife's request, Spector now has a solicitor.

0:46:27 > 0:46:28Sean Healy.

0:46:28 > 0:46:31To my mind, he is an arrogant, manipulative,

0:46:31 > 0:46:33too-clever-by-half bastard.

0:46:34 > 0:46:38But he's a winner. If there is a loophole, he's going to exploit it.

0:46:40 > 0:46:42We can expect turbulence at every turn.

0:46:44 > 0:46:46Great(!)

0:46:46 > 0:46:47Ready when you are.

0:47:23 > 0:47:27- Don't let Liam stay up too late. - Don't worry, he'll be fine.

0:47:29 > 0:47:31OK, in you go.
