Merseyside Detectives: The Murders of Ashley and Olivia: Season 1, Episode 4

1 - 4: Episode 4

In the investigation into Ashley Dale's murder, the encrypted phone of the suspected mastermind behind her shooting is seized. The phone's messages reveal contact between the suspect and a lieutenant in his organised crime gang about buying not only drugs but firearms - the same type of gun used to shoot Ashley. Olivia Pratt-Korbel's case goes to trial with the suspect continuing to plead his innocence. Olivia's mother Cheryl writes a heart-felt victim impact statement about the loss of her daughter, but the suspect refuses to turn up for sentencing.
