‘On a more serious note, our prime suspect, Radcliff, is being held in connection with the murder of the recently identified Damian Lloyd and Penny Addington on board the MV Orlova. His motive for that is still to be determined. He could simply enjoy killing. He may have been paid to do it. Or it was done as a warning. We cannot ignore the fact that Damian Lloyd’s father is a cabinet minister and that Go Wild has links to powerful people.

‘Joe Hill is our suspect in the death of fire victim Charlotte Weiner, and Steven Willis as an accomplice in that murder. Exactly what happened that night is still unclear. Willis admits to sexually assaulting Charlotte and handling the bag and the credit cards inside, but not to raping her or killing her. Hill denies ever being there. However, the semen sample retrieved from Charlotte is his. Only recently we also discovered the missing petrol can. It had been dumped nearby and a motorist had picked it up and put it in his boot. It too held Hill’s fingerprints. Well done, DS Neville, on discovering that evidence.

‘We think Charlotte was cut loose and taken down by Hill in the storm, together with the bag, and set alight. Why was Olivia Newton Richardson’s bag used? We can only assume it was to make us think she was the victim. Perhaps she needed to disappear? Something which is still to be determined. We think Hill’s motive for raping and killing Charlotte was that he wanted to, and used Go Wild to allow him to do that.’

He paused there for a moment to allow them to digest all of that.

‘The sting designed to capture Joe Hill, which resulted in our success, was the work of DS Clark, who volunteered to be the guinea pig, used as bait for Hill, with Steven Willis as the go-between.’

At this point it was Janice who got the round of applause.

‘We also have to thank investigative reporter Ava Clouston, who discovered material collected by her dead colleague, Mark Sylvester, which pointed to the probability that DI Cleverly was working on his own behalf, rather than the Metropolitan Police, when he visited us recently.

‘DI Jack Winters, who had been deeply embedded in Go Wild, initially vouched for DS Cleverly to DS McNab, then, after listening to Ava, acted on that knowledge.
