Silent Witness

Duty Of Candour - part one. Nikki (Emilia Fox) and Jack (David Caves) deal with their feelings post Mexico in very different ways.

Jack is boxing with his sparring partner, DCI Naomi Silva (Kiza Deen, pictured) when he is called to a crime scene.

While Nikki is busy examining the body of a young woman Karen Sawyers (Belinda McGinley), Jack is surprised to find the SIO on the case is Naomi Silva. 

The first prime suspect, Karen’s husband Pete (Jamie Michie), is found covered in blood and clearly suffering. The forensic evidence leads the team to a cosmetic clinic, where a pregnant Karen had been receiving various treatments seemingly free of charge.

Nikki and Silva soon become frustrated when Simon Laing (Nitin Ganatra), the CEO of Hamilton Ashe hospital, blocks their access to Karen’s medical records. However, when a second body is found and all evidence leads back to Hamilton Ashe, Laing is forced to help the team.

Meanwhile, when Thomas’s (Richard Lintern) daughter Rosie (Julia Haworth) unexpectedly turns up at the Lyell, Thomas has to deal with a more complex role... being a father.
