Episode 242

what happens

Wayne Radford has been found dead in his prison cell. It appears to be suicide, but Radford also has a number of bruises and cigarette burns on his body. Insp. Gina Gold hears from Radford's cellmate that a copper was spreading rumours that Wayne was a child killer. Malcolm Willard's garden centre has reported him missing, and DS Ramani De Costa is concerned as she suspects DC Terry Perkins has been to see his childhood abuser. PC Reg Hollis and PC Steve Hunter find Willard alive and well at his home, but are called back later to find DC Perkins' brother Ben trying to drown Willard, who is later shot dead. PC Andrea Dunbar is on a crusade to clear Supt Adam Okaro's name, and angers DI Neil Manson when she illegally submits one of Jerome Taylor's cigarette butts for a DNA test, to prove that he planted the marijuana in the Super's car.
