“I’m wanted by the police and I’ve just done two coppers,” the man calmly told the officer at the counter, extending his arms to be handcuffed and saying that he had come to hand himself in. “I dropped the gun at the scene, and I’ve murdered two police officers.

For she knew her mother had murdered her father and his fiancée – and she was determined to prove it.
