Gonna miss you, Mum. Gonna miss this place an' all.

I'd move Matthew in here if I didn't think he'd immediately divorce me.

ANN SNIFFS Hey.

I'll be round for a brew every day, I promise.

Nothing's going to change.

Well, it will, love, and that's exactly as it should be.

THEY CHUCKLE, ANN SNIFFS

Oh, I couldn't be happier for you, love.

He is a good man. He'll look after you.

I don't need looking after, Mum.

MUSIC CONTINUES, INAUDIBLE VOICES

Come to bed, love. You need to get some sleep.

Are you joking? There's not a chance in hell I could sleep.

What you doing? I'm making a list.

Everything the police done wrong, got wrong,

since the moment I reported her missing.

They've got to start taking us seriously.

Are you sure this is actually gonna get us anywhere...?

Look, if I don't do it now, I'll forget, and I don't wanna forget.

These people need to be held to account.

BIKE BELL RINGS

'You can't just keep calling every time you have...'

Don't tell me what I can and can't do.

I wanna know why you failed to find my daughter's body.

'I understand, Mrs Ming, but...'

Yeah, I-I want you to find her killer, and I...

'I...' Yeah, and I also wanna know

why the press are reporting that it was you who found her, not me!

CALL RECONNECTS Are you still there?

'Mrs Ming?' Oh, for God s... Yes, it is.

'I'll call you back in a minute.' Oh, fine.

God! They're gonna call me back.

Aren't you angry about this?

Well, what other choice do I have? W-W-What else am I supposed to do?

'Mrs Ming?' Er, yeah?

Fine. Thanks. 'See you then.'

ANN HANGS UP PHONE

Right, we've got a meeting with the Deputy Chief Constable.

Will you come with me, please? Course I will.

Don't worry, I will do all the talking.

That's what I'm worried about.

On behalf of all of us here at the Cleveland Constabulary,

I'd like to offer you both our sincere condolences.

No, we don't want your condolences. We want answers.

I wanna know who killed our daughter.

It's been less than 24 hours, Mrs Ming.

You've not give us chance to put things right.

How the hell can you put things right?!

Now that this is a murder investigation,

we've assigned you a liaison officer.

Any problems, questions, anything at all...

You're fobbing us off.

Quite the reverse, Mr Ming.

We're exploring every avenue of enquiry.

Er, you should be aware that we're talking to Mr Hogg.

Wait, Matthew? We brought him in for questioning.

No, n... No, you're barking up the wrong tree.

Matthew would never hurt our Julie. This is just another police cock-up.

I'll be adding that to my list, you can be sure about that!

Will you send in DS Braithwaite? 'Yes, Sir.'

UNDER BREATH: Can you believe that guy? Unbelievable.

Mr Ming. Mrs Ming.

Mark here will be your Family Liaison Officer.

No, no, I want the organ-grinder, not the monkey.

I'm, er, so sorry about your daughter, Mr and Mrs Ming.

This must be a very... difficult and frightening time for you both.

"Difficult"? Our daughter's been murdered.

This is hell! SOFTLY: Come on.

I didn't mean to suggest...

Well, then think before you open your big mouth!

I'm sorry, I, erm... HE CLEARS THROAT

Look, we wanna know what you're actually doing.

Cos from here,

it looks like you're sitting with your thumb up your arse.

Where have you been, Daddy?

The police just wanted to talk to me, that's all.

But I'd done nothing wrong, so they've just let me go.

Can I still live with you?

Yeah, of course, mate.

You'll stay with me in the week, and then you'll stay

with your Nanna and your grandad at the weekends,

it's the same as before.

We'll find a nice new place.

Mm-k. SOFTLY: OK.

I wish I'd nagged her to stay here with us that night.

Why didn't I nag her more? No, you can't think like that.

She was old enough to make her own choices.

ANN SIGHS SOFTLY

They told me... that you were in the next room.

What? The police.

When they spoke to me and they said

that your version of events were very different to mine.

What do you mean? According to them,

you told them that it was me who asked you to take the bath panel off

because I thought there was something behind it.

But I didn't. I don't understand.

No, I know, it's just bullshit. They're just...

Just trying to play you off against me. Bastards.

I told them that you would never hurt her.

Yeah, I know, I know.

I just...

Who could've done this to her?

CHURCH BELL TOLLING

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Cheers. Thank you.

MUSIC: 'Ave Maria' by Franz Schubert

Music was everything to Julie.

She used to listen to all the new wave bands and...

New Romantic music.

She was a shy girl, but once she was out on that dance floor,

all her usual inhibitions just seemed to vanish.

I can see her now... spinning round like... nothing else...

TEARILY: ..like nothing else mattered.

SHE CLEARS THROAT

If Julie liked you... you were a friend for life.

And that's what she was to me.

Not just me daughter, but a friend.

My best friend.

We'd speak it every day on the phone without fail.

Often, several times a day, even if we'd literally just seen each other.

SHE SNIFFS

Sometimes, it'd drive me potty, but right now, I'd give anything...

SHE SOBS

SOFTLY: Sorry.

I promise you, Julie...

...we'll get the bastard that killed you.

I promise you that.

To meet the FLO.

What's that? Family Liaison Officer.

Oh, right.

I just feel like we should be holding

their feet to the fire, you know?

Have you seen this? 'Justice?

'I don't think them people in there have got the intelligence...'

They've got an update for us, apparently.

Go without me, love.

Tsk. Jesus Christ, Charlie. Do you know what. How can you do that?

Do what? Just block it all out.

I'm not like you.

You know that.

Oh, Charlie, please. What?

We are either in this together, or we're in trouble.

Charlie? Just leave me alone.

I want you to know I'm keeping a record of everything -

all the balls-ups, the lies, inconsistencies -

and I'm putting them into a letter, an official complaint.

If I were you, I'd be doing exactly the same thing.

Er... I heard you just found our...

Julie's cash card and watch in the loft.

That's right, yes. And a diary too.

A diary? SHE SIGHS

It's just unbelievable. What the...?

What the hell were the forensics team doing all that time?

Playing sodding bridge?!

I am aware things haven't been handled very well on our side...

Oh, that's one way of putting it!

Explain to me how all those trained officers

spent five days in that house

and not one of them found my daughter's body!

Yeah, I'd be angry too, Mrs Ming.

And after the experience you've had, I get why you're mistrustful of me.

You can be straight with me.

Then I want you to be honest with me.

I need to be updated on everything, OK?

SHE SIGHS

Look, I can't promise you that, I'm afraid.

But there'll be no bullshit. You have my word on that.

You said you had some news.

We've made an arrest. What?

What...? W-Who?

Some lads from the local rugby club became relevant to our inquiry.

We're able to eliminate all but one of them.

We found Julie's keys

under the floorboards of the house where he's lodging.

I... I've seen this fella before.

'No, we didn't see nowt, Mrs Ming.'

The morning she went missing, I was round here,

and he was sitting here at this table with your Sean.

Cool as a cucumber.

Right, OK, aye. If, if it was him,

would he not want to get as far away from here as possible, hm?

Maybe they got the wrong bloke.

Was he staying here the night she was killed?

No.

He lives on the next street along with another lad. That Lee Watson.

Not any more, he doesn't.

Sorry about your Julie, Mrs Ming.

What else can you tell me about this mate of yours?

He's not my mate.

Not any more.

Why's that, then?

Sean.

He went to school with Matthew Hogg. Why don't you ask him?

He's in this gang with some others from the rugby club.

They're always causing trouble, but he's the worst.

I mean, everyone's terrified of him, but no-one dares speak up.

How do you mean? He's...

He's got tons of violent assault charges.

Short fuse, vicious temper.

He's-He's a nasty piece of work.

Do you think he killed our Julie?

Urgh, I... I don't, I don't know.

I don't know if it... But if it was him...

...it don't even bear thinking about.

It's him, Ann.

We're confident we've got the right man.

The blanket Julie was wrapped in.

Yeah?

They've found someone else's DNA on it.

It's being analysed, and we're hopeful of a match.

And if there's not one?

It will make things significantly harder for the prosecution.

Is there enough to get him without a DNA match?

Er, it's hard to say.

But to be frank with you,

the defence will use anything they can to pull apart the evidence.

Listen, I don't want to intrude,

but have you thought about getting any help?

What do you mean?

If you like, I can put you in touch with a psychologist

for both you and your husband.

No, no, I don't... Therapy can really help, Ann.

You've been through a terrible trauma. You both have.

I can't get rid of the smell.

It's in me nostrils.

Every time I fall asleep, I see the bathroom, I see...

...her body under the bath.

Every time.

Yeah.

It'll take a while.

He thinks that therapy can help us, Charlie.

I don't think I can do it, love.

Which one do you think she is? That one.

SHE SOBS SOFTLY

DOGS BARK

Morning, Graham. Oh, morning, Mrs Ming.

There you go. Ah. Thank you.

The Police Complaints Authority have responded.

Listen to this, it is unbelievable.

The Deputy Chief Constable has said

that "valuable lessons have been learned".

And that, although he does not

"consider the officers concerned were guilty of neglect",

he is "disappointed with their performance".

But he "does not think"

"that formal disciplinary charges should be brought."

I mean, it's a whitewash, Charlie! It's a total bloody whitewash...

It's not forever.

No, no, no. Charlie, please sit down...

It's taken all of our energy just to stay sane.

I've nothing left to give.

You haven't thought this through. Please.

Let me just say what I need to say.

If it was me...

HE INHALES

If I was the one who found her... I couldn't have managed.

SOBBING: I'm barely managing now.

BRAITHWAITE SIGHS We've heard back from the lab

about the biological samples on the, on the blanket.

The DNA's a match.

Does that mean what I think it means?

It means we've got him, Ann. No, no, are you serious?

I'm 110% sure.

SHE SOBS DRYLY

HANDCUFFS CLINK

CLERK: All rise.

PROSECUTION: Detective Gravely,

how did the defendant first come to your attention?

There were a number of men, at least six,

who were all friends from the local rugby club.

They came into our inquiry as TIE suspects. "TIE"?

Trace, Interview, Eliminate.

We were able to eliminate all of the persons of interest

except for the defendant,

whose alibi at that time had fallen through.

We then searched the house on Clarence Avenue

where he was lodging at the time.

Why was the location of his lodgings so important?

Well, Clarence Avenue is just two streets away from Julie's,

which meant he had both means and proximity.

Did you find anything during this search? Yes.

We found Julie's missing keys,

which were hidden under the floorboards behind a brick.

ATTENDEES GASP AND MURMUR

Thank you, DC Gravely.

Can you tell me what you found

on the blanket which Mrs Hogg's body was wrapped in?

Well, first, there were the yellow and black acrylic fibres.

Nine in total.

And what's the significance of these fibres?

They matched the fibres found on the rugby jersey

worn by the defendant on the night of the murder.

Was anything else of significance found on the blanket?

Yes. Several human hairs and a small amount of semen.

How can you be sure that these belonged to the defendant?

Samples were taken from 21 men known to Mrs Hogg.

DNA profiling has ruled out 20 of these.

The only sample that matched the DNA on the blanket was the defendant's.

UNDER BREATH: Yes. MORE MURMURS

This is a keyring... taken from a set of keys found by the police

under the floorboards of the defendant's lodgings.

Were you able to obtain any prints from this?

Yes. We found two prints -

one from the right thumb, and one from the right forefinger,

both of which clearly match the defendant's.

Thank you, Miss Morden.

MURMURING

DEFENCE: Now, you say that you found

two of my client's fingerprints on the keyring.

That's correct, yes.

But those weren't the only fingerprints

you found on the keyring, were they?

No, there were several other fingerprints on it.

None of which matched my client's, did they?

Well, it's hard to be certain.

Because of the overlapping, it's been impossible to...

A simple yes or no will suffice, Miss Morden.

No.

Now, as far as the hair and the semen,

you say that DNA profiling has ruled out everyone except my client,

which clearly implies

that the biological samples on the blanket were his.

But the truth is you can't actually be 100% certain of that, can you?

Not 100%, no, but the chances of...

Furthermore, the yellow and black fibres

could have been found from any matching rugby shirt,

could they not?

From any of the rugby club gang, or...

well, anyone else who happened to be wearing that jersey

on the night in question? Yes, but there's...

Thank you, Miss Morden.

No further questions.

MURMURING

My Lord, with your permission,

the prosecution would like to warn the members of the jury

about the graphic nature of the images they are about to see.

Dr Sunter, what was the most likely cause of death,

in your professional opinion?

Some form of asphyxia.

Strangulation or suffocation is my best estimation.

Is it possible it could've been an accident?

Based on the other injuries on the rest of the body,

I would say almost certainly not.

These injuries sustained,

could they have been caused by sexual intercourse?

Absolutely not. How can you be so sure?

They were the result of extreme and deliberate violence.

In my view, most probably an act of mutilation after death.

CHARLIE SIGHS, ATTENDEES MURMUR

Thank you, Dr Sunter. No further questions, my Lord.

JUDGE: Defence, your witness.

Now, in your evidence, regarding the cause of death,

you're saying you're not certain how Julie died, correct?

I've already outlined the most likely explanations.

The subtle signs of these hypotheses

have been obscured by putrefactive change.

Do we or do we not know the cause of death?

Not for certain.

It would be fair to say, would it not,

that, because of the failures of the police,

your job as pathologist was rendered impossible?

I wouldn't put it quite like that, no.

Then tell me -

would it have been possible to establish a cause of death,

had the police found Mrs Hogg's body

when they spent five days searching her home?

It would've been much more likely.

ATTENDEE: It's disgraceful. Thank you, Dr Sunter.

ATTENDEES MURMUR

TAP SQUEAKS, WATER RUNS

NAPKIN SCRUNCHES

And what was it about the smell that caused you to worry?

Erm, well, having worked in a hospital for 20 years,

I think I knew deep down what it was.

But I was just praying,

"Please, God... please don't let it be Julie."

And as you leaned across the bath,

you say that your knee pushed against the bath panel?

WHISPERS: Yes.

I appreciate this isn't easy, Mrs Ming.

But as you put your hand behind the bath panel...

Was it your left hand or your right hand?

Erm...

I-I don't know, sorry. Er, erm...

With my right. My right, I think.

Are you certain about that?

What does it matter? I found my daughter's body under the bath.

SOFTLY: What's he asking that for? Why are you asking me this?

I know this isn't easy for you, Mrs Ming.

I can't tell you how important it is for the court to hear.

SHE BREATHES SHAKILY

Can you tell us what you found when you pulled back the bath panel?

SHE SNIFFS

Even though she was wrapped in a blanket,

I knew that it was her... our Julie.

The smell was unspeakable.

It was in my lungs. It was everywhere.

It still is. I'm so sorry, Mrs Ming.

It must have been a terrible thing to have to go through.

SOFTLY: Yes, it was.

And the fact that it should never have happened...

must be especially galling?

Er, sorry, I don't...

Well, if the police had done their job...

...then you should never have had to go through it, correct?

I will never forgive them.

And nobody would blame you for that, Mrs Ming.

It does makes you wonder what else they've got wrong in this case.

He kept asking for more and more detail.

I know, love.

SHE SNIFFS You know, I was...

I was watching him today, and I...

...I imagined that I had a gun.

And I kept thinking,

"If I just pulled it out now while no-one was looking

"and aimed it right at his head..."

"And then bang, he'd be gone."

"Simple as that."

Would it be worth it? A life sentence, I mean?

Honestly, I wouldn't care.

I would.

The worst part's over now, love.

Maybe, once he's behind bars...

...maybe we could start afresh, you and me?

I'd like that.

Mr Fowler, how did you know Julie Hogg?

We're neighbours. Been friends for years.

It was more than that, though, wasn't it?

How long had you been in a sexual relationship with Julie Hogg?

ATTENDEES MUTTER SOFTLY: That's not true.

Mr Fowler?

A few years, on and off.

Now, Mrs Hogg was a rather promiscuous young woman, wasn't she?

I don't know.

Yeah, I suppose so, er...

In your statement to the police, you said,

"Loads of lads have been with her while she's been married."

The unmatched prints on Mrs Hogg's keyring.

Are they yours, Mr Fowler? No.

You're certain of that? 100%. I never touched them keys.

Well, I suppose, given what you've just told us

about Mrs Hogg's sexual appetite, they could belong to...

well, any man in a 50-mile radius!

My Lord, that isn't a question. How dare they?

JUDGE: Mr Muller, you should know better than that.

ATTENDEE: It's disgusting! My Lord.

Were you with Mrs Hogg

on the night she went missing, 15th of November?

No. No, we weren't together no more.

Can you tell us why it ended, your affair?

May I remind you, Mr Fowler, that you are under oath.

We had sex a few months ago.

JULIE, WEAKLY: Oh... I don't mean just me and Julie.

To be clear, when you say "we",

you are referring to my client, the accused.

Is that correct? Yep.

And for the avoidance of doubt,

you and my client both had sex with Mrs Hogg,

a few weeks before she went missing in her house.

That's right, isn't it? Yeah.

No further questions. ANN SOBS

ATTENDEES MUTTER

How dare they speak about her like that

when she's not even here to defend herself?

Why is it even necessary?

Muck-raking through all her personal stuff like...

We don't even know it's true. SHE SNIFFS

They're just dragging her name through the mud, and it's...

...it's cruel.

They're almost trying to make out

that she was, she was asking for it or something.

Well, they didn't know her like we did.

So let them say what they wanna say.

SHE SNIFFS

SHE EXHALES SLOWLY

Did you know?

Some of it. But I didn't believe it.

How much?

I heard she hung out with the lads from the rugby club sometimes.

It wasn't my business, Mam.

You should've told me. No.

No, it wouldn't have been fair.

I don't give a shit about fair!

If I'd known, maybe I could've made her see sense!

Maybe she'd have listened to me.

SOFTLY: Or maybe she wouldn't.

She was always the one who needed me, see?

At least I thought she did.

Right.

What do you think about your daughter's sex life?

Was your daughter a nymphomaniac?

How dare you? That's a disgusting thing to say.

Leave us alone! Stop saying things like that.

We wanna hear your side of the story!

Mrs Ming, do you blame yourself?

PROSECUTION: Can you tell me why Julie Hogg's house keys were found

under the floorboards of your lodgings?

Well, I was framed. CHUCKLING: You were framed?

You can't seriously expect anyone to believe that can you?

Why not? You can't trust the police.

Well, your fingerprints were found on her keyring.

Not just mine. There were other people's on it too.

All right, let's go back a stage, shall we?

After you were ejected from the rugby club

for trying to engage in a sex act with a stripper,

you got in a fight, resulting in a cut to your face.

You were totally inebriated. Blind drunk, weren't you?

So what? All of us were.

Yes, you and Sean Fowler then went back to a friend's house

where you watched a... pornographic film.

You then went to hospital,

where, just after 1am, your wound was stitched.

Just after 2am, you went back to Mr Fowler's

but just 20 minutes later, still drunk and dangerously aroused,

you left with the words... PROSECUTION SNIFFS

..."I'm just popping into Julie's."

That's a lie. I never went there.

When Mrs Hogg refused your sexual advances,

you became violent towards her, didn't you?

I never. I wasn't there.

You were so full of rage, you killed her.

I told you, I-I-I never even went round to Julie's! So I...

Your fingerprints were on her keys.

And like I said, I'm being framed.

Your hair was on the blanket she was wrapped in. Your semen too.

In a drunken sexual frenzy,

you murdered Julie Hogg with extreme and deliberate violence.

Didn't you? I didn't do it! I wouldn't!

Yeah, you're falling to pieces.

Because you really did murder this poor young woman, didn't you? No.

SOFTLY: Come on. Look at you, you're shaking!

No, I'm not. You're shaking.

No, I'm not! I didn't kill her!

OK, I... I didn't... I just...

JUDGE: It's half past four.

Erm... SOFTLY: Oh, no.

We'll adjourn until tomorrow morning. No!

No, what...? Er, ladies and gentlemen,

if you could collect your things... The bastard was about to crack!

He's in a rush to go for his tea or something.

I would remind you... This can't...

...not to discuss the case with anyone outside of your 12,

and I'll see you back here at 10:30 in the morning.

CLERK: All rise! For God's sake. Stupid!

He was on the ropes.

Why the hell did the judge adjourn us?

He's let him off the hook!

I know, it is frustrating, but it happens.

Look, half an hour longer might've done for him,

but in my experience, judges are nothing if not punctual.

Look, hang in there. It's nearly over.

Have you seen the papers?

SHE SIGHS I have, yes.

How dare they talk about her like that?

Like she is the one on trial.

And yet they just refer to the monster who murdered her

as a plain old "father of two".

It's a bloody disgrace!

Some of those details might've come as quite a shock to you. I'm sorry.

Did... Did you know?

I did, yes. I was trying to protect you, Ann.

You didn't know her, Mark. They didn't know her. I did.

She may have been careless with her affections, but sh...

She was my little girl who loved to dance and dress up.

That's who she was.

I should've been honest with you. I'm sorry.

At 7:30 on the morning of the 16th of November,

Mrs Ming arrived at her daughter's house with her grandson, Kevin.

If you say so.

According to evidence already heard,

you didn't get back to your lodgings until after that time, did you?

And given the unlikelihood

of you wandering the streets of Billingham unnoticed,

it is in fact the case that you were still in the property

when Mrs Ming arrived, isn't it? SOFTLY: Oh, my God.

I told you.

I was never there.

Mrs Ming might consider herself fortunate

she didn't have a spare key.

If she did, she might've been murdered as a potential witness.

My Lord, these are unsubstantiated allegations.

I'm inclined to agree, Mr Whitburn. Do move along.

As My Lord pleases.

On the night of the 24th of November,

a police alarm was activated in Julie Hogg's house.

You entered the property that night, didn't you?

I told you. I was never there.

You needed to move Julie's body somewhere safer.

You thought it best to make it look like a burglary,

in case you were seen, except...

you didn't get time to move the body, did you?

The police arrived before you could. I never entered that house.

Not on the night she died and not since. I...

I'm telling you, them keys were planted.

ATTENDEES MUTTER "Planted." By who?

I seen the news. The Guildford Four.

The Birmingham Six.

MUTTERING INCREASES

When police are desperate, they do whatever they need to.

JUDGE: You must decide what happened in that house

in the early hours of November the 16th, 1989.

The Crown must prove that Julie died from an unlawful act...

...and that the defendant's intention was to kill or cause serious harm.

You need to be certain...

beyond all reasonable doubt about both of these things...

if you are to find the defendant guilty.

'Oh, gorgeous.' ANN SNIFFS

Will you hold me, please?

Just hold me.

Can your foreman please stand?

Well, surely you haven't gone three weeks without appointing a foreman?

I'm happy to do it, My Lord.

Having been informed that you cannot reach a unanimous verdict,

I will accept a majority verdict,

in this case, one upon which at least ten of you are agreed.

Have you reached such a verdict? Please answer yes or no.

Er, no, we haven't. BILLY: Yes!

What? ATTENDEES MURMUR

Then I have no choice but to discharge you from your duties.

Mr Whitburn. My Lord?

Will the Crown be pursuing a retrial in this case?

Yes, my Lord.

The Crown will be pursuing a retrial.

Very well. A date will be set in due course.

This trail is hereby adjourned. All rise.

TEARILY: I can't go through that again, Charlie.

SHE SOBS I just can't, Charlie.

Not again.

Well done! Re-trial.

I can't do it.
