After a double stabbing in Worcester that left Wendy Francis dead and her daughter, Stacey Hill, in a critical condition, her partner Damian 蜜芽传媒r has been taken into custody. But he鈥檚 continuing to claim he acted in self-defence. Stacey has survived, and now she鈥檚 recovered enough to speak to police and offer her own account.

Stacey鈥檚 description of the family鈥檚 day together matches 蜜芽传媒r鈥檚 up until the couple鈥檚 return to their house. But she describes them arguing later and says that she called her mother on seeing that 蜜芽传媒r had armed himself with a knife.

A new case opens up in Malvern. Police and ambulance crews are called to a pub on New Year鈥檚 Eve after a man is found collapsed on the pavement. Officers are unsure of whether he鈥檚 ill or is the victim of an assault. But when they ask questions, people are reluctant to talk.

The man is taken to hospital with a head injury, which doctors say he鈥檚 unlikely to survive. It鈥檚 up to DCI Tony Garner and his team to find out what happened. As a forensics team examine the scene of the crime, officers visit local premises to retrieve CCTV that might throw light on the events of the night. They find footage that shows the victim being followed out of the pub by another man who knocks him out with a single punch. Meanwhile, there is an update from the hospital: tests on the victim indicate there is no brain activity, and it鈥檚 only a matter of time until his life support is turned off. As the police hunt for the suspect continues, there is a huge surprise that could be a major breakthrough in their investigation.

In a new case, a 999 call comes in during the early hours of the morning. Armed officers race to a suburban house where a man is found barricaded in his bathroom, hiding from his son. When the man鈥檚 wife is discovered dead from head injuries, the couple鈥檚 son is arrested and charged with murder.
