The Bill - copy cat killer
PCs Sally Armstrong (Ali Bastian) and Reg Hollis (Jeff Stewart) arrive at the scene of a suspected assault and are horrified to find the dead body of Maria Samuels (Naomi Millbank-Smith). Crime Scene Examiner Lorna Hart (Siobhan Redmond), DS Stuart Turner (Doug Rao) and DC Jo Masters (Sally Rogers) examine the evidence and discover that Maria was a model.
They uncover her portfolio and find her pictures were taken by a photographer by the name of ‘Slade’. Stuart and Jo soon track down Jeff Slade (Darren Day) who’s furious that someone has broken into his studio and smashed everything up. As the officers question him, Stuart notices a blood soaked t-shirt and Slade is arrested on suspicion for murder.
However, back at the crime scene, Jo notices a photograph of Maria and her fiancé Darrell Crow (Ricky Nixon) – wearing the same t-shirt found at Slade's house. While both men admit they saw Maria on separate occasions that morning, they insist she was alive when they left. Later, when Lorna tells Jo that Maria’s skull had two abrasions, the detectives must work out which suspect provided the fatal blow…
