Murder Investigation Team, PS Jatri.
Received. Stand by.
Fields.
Chris.
Sorry to ruin your evening, boss.
We just had a call from a Chis Handler
submitting information relevant to Vella.
What did they say?
Possible suspect - a person, so far unknown to the inquiry,
alleged to have made a confession.
Intel's graded the info 1A on the matrix.
OK, continue developing the intel.
Let's bring the suspect in.
Nice one. Right on it, boss.
Five three, the boss has given the go-ahead.
Sorry to call you in, sir.
Right, any progress since we spoke on the phone?
We've a possible location for the suspect.
You OK to sign off the Directed Surveillance Authority?
I need a team on watch
while we pull everything together to raid the premises.
How reliable's the intel?
1A from an established Chis. Casual sex worker.
He supplied the suspect's address...
Hold on, Jo. A rent boy?
I don't know if it's a commercial thing with the Chis,
or even what his drugs history is.
Christ sake, Jo, he was probably off his face.
Look, just let me get a coffee inside me first.
This is our first lead in months.
Bloody hell, Jo.
We good to go, boss?
Sorry, Chris, the Super's not buying the intel.
What?
He needs more time.
God's sake.
Stand down, guys. It's not happening.
Super's pulling the plug.
Says he wants more work up on the intel.
Morning.
- Morning, boss. - Ma'am.
And don't think I didn't notice
DI Fleming skulking in last-minute
like the dirty stop-out.
Don't go there, boss - glass houses.
All right, Operation Lighthouse
re the unsolved murder of Gail Vella on September 10th, 2019.
Apologies to those of you who were gearing up for the op last night.
Following the Super's conflab with the SFC,
it was decided to await Executive Level sign-off.
The name we've been given is Ross Turner.
Yesterday evening, Turner allegedly boasted to a Chis
he'd been involved in Gail's murder.
Turner's name is negative on the PNC and the National Database,
plus local intel checks are drawing blanks.
Hence, we're treating "Ross Turner" as most likely an alias.
We've been given an address - Flat 4F, Beechwood House.
In-situ surveillance was established last night.
The team captured this image.
Enhanced here.
Turner is likely to be armed
and is considered extremely dangerous.
Tickets ready, please.

There you go.
