The first 200 lines.
A man in his late 30s has been beaten and stabbed
at a derelict site in east London.
The victim is in a critical condition
and police are treating the incident as attempted murder.
Headlines, Jack?
We have a wallet so we have an ID for starters.
Dean Price.
- Oh, shit! - Yeah.
There is not nearly as much blood as you'd expect
if he had been attacked in this location.
OK, so possibly not attacked here.
- Possibly moved. - And dumped?
The fact that we can't find the weapon
that was used to stab the victim backs that theory up.
If he was dumped, he can't have been here long.
It was a cold night last night. The medics said
he was still breathing when they found him.
How is he doing now?
Still alive but only just, I would say.
So, Charlie, next of kin?
Oh, I vaguely remember that he had a brother.
- I think he was older. - Yeah, Richie, no, Roddy.
I'll look it up. I can't remember.
No mobile phone but I did find keys.
I don't have an address as yet
but that shouldn't take me too long to work out.
What the bloody hell was Dean Price
doing out of prison, anyway?
Hello, police. Hello, hang on, here we go.
Jesus Christ, well, now we know where Dean Price was attacked.
OK, get uniform here, SOCAs.
OK. Thank you, Charlie. OK.
Follow those footprints.
Apparently, Dean Price was terminally ill.
So...
That would explain why he was let out of prison.
Released early on compassionate grounds.
That body has gone straight out of that back door.
Follow these footprints upstairs.
Serena is going to photograph each room, see what's missing.
OK, priority, Jack. Let's find
a mobile phone. There's a charger there, nothing in it.
What do you think? Robbery doesn't spring to mind.
No, but revenge does.
Dan?
Remember that Alekz Wojnar case?
W?
Cage 17.
Wojnar. Wojnar.
Dean Price, jailed three years ago
following the murder of Alekz Wojnar.
Admits readily to assaulting Alekz but
denies stabbing him.
He says that Alekz was still alive
when Dean left the crime scene.
I did learn that the Wojnar family in recent months
have been claiming a miscarriage of justice.
They are demanding a judicial review
because, obviously, Dean was only convicted of GBH.
As we know last night,
someone stabbed Dean Price and dumped him at a derelict site.
Where was that?
Exactly the same place where Alekz Wojnar was murdered.
Hate to point out the glaringly obvious,
but Dean Price attacked, stabbed
Alekz Wojnar, attacked, stabbed and both left in the same place.
Stinks of revenge to me.
Let's just take in all the options, OK?
Jump to conclusions when we've got some evidence!
I'm looking for Robbie Price.
Detective Constable Charlotte Steele.
Luke.
- This is my son. - Nice to meet you.
Robbie, I'm really sorry what's happened to your brother.
Um...
Who the hell would have done this to my uncle?
We don't know that yet, to be honest,
but we are doing everything to find out.
I want to ask you, Robbie,
- if you've got a mobile number for Dean. - Yeah.
- Thank you. - There you are.
- Brilliant. - I warned him
not to come back here. I said the Poles would string him up.
- The Wojnar family? - Yeah.
Fine.
Dean Price's bank sent through his most recent statement.
The transaction that stands out for me was a large
payment to a restaurant called the Fig Branch yesterday lunchtime.
I rang them today, and the manager says that
he remembers Dean Price very, very clearly.
Apparently, the bill wasn't for any food,
no one ate anything.
His companion, like, a fight kicked off between them.
A table went over. Shit got broken.
That's what was paid for.
There is no CCTV inside the restaurant,
so I've not seen the actual fight.
The restaurant gave me a description of the woman.
It was a woman he had a fight with.
From the security camera outside,
- this woman leaving... - Hang on!
Pause it there, pause it.
It's Kamilla Wojnar.
It's Alekz Wojnar's sister.
Kamilla, what were you doing at lunchtime yesterday?
I was at home.
This family has been through a lot. Lost
her mum, her brother. A son.
We will help you
as much as we can.
Kamilla, I've got some photos from a CCTV camera
of you leaving a restaurant called the Fig Branch
at lunchtime yesterday, so
I am going to ask you again,
what were you doing,
and I would appreciate it if you told the truth,
what you did at lunchtime yesterday?
I got an email yesterday from
a man called James...
... who was interested in our campaign website...
and he was very interested to meet.
And when I got to the restaurant,
it turned out to be Dean Price.
Why didn't you tell us this before?
I don't know.
Why didn't you tell me?
I was ashamed, I felt stupid.
So, when you got in there and you saw Dean,
tell me what happened then?
I was very angry and I
smashed some glasses, and just
- stormed out. - Is that the... ?
I assume that's how you cut your hand.
Yeah.
Kamilla, did you tell anyone else you were going?
No.
Why not?
- I just didn't... - Do you normally go and meet men
that you just had contact with on the internet?
Oh, God!
No.
Then why go and meet this guy?
Hmm. Why?
I don't know why you've done that.
OK, guys, listen. We are going to have to take
everything you were wearing yesterday
- to the lab. - I've just washed it.
I've just washed it.
There's no point taking that now, then, is there?
OK. Kamilla,
why did you lie to us?
I don't know.
It makes you look like you've got something to hide. Which,
from our point of view, is
unhelpful, first of all. And worrying.
Really worrying.
So, is there anything else that you are not telling us?
Kamilla?
Anything you are not telling me?
Stan, we are going to ask the questions.
Anything you aren't telling us?
No,
that was it.
I get why she lied, but
it always makes you look guilty as hell, right?
What makes me very uncomfortable
was the fact that he wanted us to leave.
I understand that. He wants a conversation
with her I would actually like to listen to.
- (PHONE) - Boss?
Our house-to-house has uncovered several reports
of a disturbance outside Dean Price's flat.
Yesterday evening.
There was a man banging on his door.
Neighbours think that... Eastern European,
- sort of 40s. - We'll check that out. Thanks.
Hang on. Mr Wojnar!
- Mr Wojnar! - My God!
- Leave us alone! - It's OK, Mr Wojnar.
Calm down. I just want ask some questions.
What questions?
A man matching your description was reported
to be causing a disturbance outside Dean Price's flat.
- I wasn't there. - Kamilla, stay back!
Get the fuck out of here.
Stand back! Kamilla, stand back!
Mr Wojnar, do not add assaulting a police officer
to your list of deepening problems.
Listen to my colleague and step back.
Step back, Mr Wojnar.
I'm arresting you for assault of a police officer.
Now that we've arrested you, Mr Wojnar,
we have been able to take a sample of your DNA.
We found a match.
In Dean Price's house.
Now, why would we find your DNA in Dean Price's house?
Are you the man who was causing disturbances
outside Mr Price's flat yesterday evening?
- Yes, I was there. - Why were you there?
I went to see him. I wanted to know why he was
