A claw hammer recovered from a bin and contaminated with the DNA of both victim and killer is the final piece of the puzzle in a complex murder investigation. When the body of a woman is found, police speak to her lodger and become increasingly suspicious of his lies and strange behaviour, including the suggestion he has been tampering with her medication. Also today, the positive identification of a burglar who photographed himself at the crime scene leads police straight to his door.

An ice pick used to stab a man in the head on the street is recovered from the roof of a pub and brings a murderer to justice. Investigators are baffled after a man is brutally killed on the street and all they have to go on is some grainy CCTV until a woman tells them she thinks her husband carried out the slaying as revenge for a drug deal that went wrong. Elsewhere, an anonymous letter throws suspicion on a man who police believe may not only be storing guns, but manufacturing his own.
