Brady had spent the last two hours updating his team and issuing orders. He was going to nail Munroe’s bollocks to the interview chair. But he wanted word back from the lab that Munroe’s boots matched the prints Ainsworth’s team had found. He also needed DNA evidence. Brady was in no doubt that part of Eddie Jones’ face was entrenched in the grooves of Munroe’s size eleven boots. Ordinarily lab reports could take weeks to come through. But Gates had ordered this evidence to be examined ASAP – regardless of expense. Northumbria’s forensic laboratory no longer existed so it wasn’t as if Brady could lean heavily on someone in the force. The work was now outsourced. It was another ingenious way of cutting costs.
Brady was also waiting for word back from Jed. They had Munroe’s mobile phone and Brady needed to know whether the footage had been filmed on it and if so, whether he’d used it to upload the film. Jed also had Munroe’s computer to examine.
‘Sir?’ Conrad said as he stuck his head round the door.
