The Detectives: Murder on the Streets

Detectives continue to investigate the murder of young homeless man Daniel Smith in the city centre. A man who has been arrested and brought in for questioning says he was in the arches on the night of the murder and has information regarding others who were there at the time.

As the team tries to pinpoint the missing man's last movements, phone data leads them to the last person they believe he was with on the day he disappeared.

DCI Sarah Jones is now treating the disappearance of a Bolton man as murder, but with no body found it's a challenging job for the MIT.

Whilst there, another horrific crime comes to light as one man has just confessed to staff there that he has murdered a student and the body is in student accommodation in the city centre.

As the trial date finally arrives, detectives and family of Daniel Smith are together at court. With the two main suspects pleading not guilty the outcome is now in the hands of the jury…
