In the second part of Murder on Prescription, the investigation into the murder of a disabled 47-year-old woman in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, takes a new turn. Murder detectives have arrested multiple suspects, but a lack of evidence has hindered charges.
However, a potential breakthrough occurs when a knife possibly used in the murder is found, with DNA on the blade offering a chance to identify the killer.
Despite this lead, the case proves challenging due to the likelihood of finding multiple people in Wisbech with matching DNA. Rumors swirl in the town, pointing fingers at previous suspects. DI Dale Mepstead faces a difficult decision: whether to make another arrest or pursue other lines of inquiry.
The episode reveals a shocking discovery of heroin and paperwork suggesting an illegal prescription drug sale at the victim’s house. This twist opens up the question of a murder motive, providing new impetus for the detectives to zero in on their final suspect.
24 Hours in Police Custody: Murder on Prescription – Part 2 airs on Channel 4 on Tuesday, 10 September 2024, at 9:00 pm.
