Original subtitles

Right, get a scene on both ends, please, mate.

All right.

All right, thank you. Yeah, we'll take care of it in a second.

We are on Trouble Street.

It appears to be where it's happening.

Sit down. Sit down. I've got to stab you in there.

Right, OK.

I've got two victims here. The main victim is currently receiving surgery.

I've got another lad here. He's got numerous stab wounds.

Come down here, pal.

Mate, come on, please.

Please, mate, come on. Come on. You don't understand him. What's his name,

I'll be honest, it isn't looking good.

You can't die.

You can't die now. You can't. Not now. Not now. No.

Not now.

They called it.

Is he okay?

Is he okay?

They've stopped CPR.

Have you any idea where these people are, where they've gone?

No.

No wonder.

When dangerous criminals go on the run.

With a couple of threats behind.

Every second counts.

I'd say they've tried to decapitate them.

Using elite units and specialist tactics.

Surveillance. Communication data.

Cat and mouse.

Greater Manchester police must hunt down the city's most wanted.

We're onto you. And you have no idea that at some point, your door's coming

crashing in.

Go! Go!

We've got him.

Another incident of knife crime that's seen another young adult die in

Manchester.

A 24 -year -old male has been fatally stabbed in broad daylight in an attack

witnessed by his nephew.

There are three unknown fugitives on the run.

Come on, everyone.

The Greater Manchester Police are beginning a manhunt, led by DI Rachel

Good afternoon, then.

So this brief is about Operation South Sea. It comes in as a report of two

with stab wounds found within a white vehicle.

Neri Moore, born 25th of the 2nd, 98, was found deceased.

He's put a stab wound to the neck, to the chest.

Neri has been with his nephew.

He's walking wounded, he's at hospital.

In relation to the recent injury, he had a stab wound two centimetres to the

left buttock and a laceration 10 -12 centimetres to the left lower

leg. He said that he hadn't seen the offenders and didn't have any idea who

might be.

Has anyone else got anything?

Member of the public, he's travelling home from work. Because of the position

the car, he's seen the murder. So we've recovered that dashcam footage.

Pretty much front row seat.

So if we just play that through again.

As the car approaches.

Our offender approaches the driver's door.

There's three lunges into the car, really vicious attack, runs back to the

We then get the mail at the front seat passenger.

The driver of the Golf at that point isn't out of the vehicle, suggesting

there's at least three in the car.

We've established the VRM for the Volkswagen Golf. The three offenders

in.

It's registered as Rochon Brown.

17th of the 10th, 98th.

He'd been known for... To his distinctiveness himself, a large male,

the other one.

On that basis, kind of a suspect, we sought a warrant to arrest him.

The dashcam footage shows three people involved in the attack.

The strongest lead is the owner of the car, Rashawn Brown.

The quicker we act, the better. They're capable of committing further murders.

These offenders don't care about who they could hurt or who they could kill.

Greater Manchester Police call on multiple highly specialised units when

an immediate threat to public safety.

At my disposal, I'll have...

The tactical aid units are trained to handle high -risk situations.

They're being deployed to main suspect Rashaun Brown's home address.

When you've got a manhunt, you are trying to put yourself in the shoes of

offender. In their situation, would you leave the country? Would you go to a

family member or would you cut ties?

Quiet. Trying to license the city bedroom.

Is that him?

Yeah, that's him.

I don't see him. He's not there.

Rashawn isn't at his address.

So the team turn their attention to the other fugitives.

Hello. Rashawn, you there?

I'm here for you.

The team have received information from the local hospital of a man with a

suspicious injury.

There's been an incident on the north of Manchester, OK?

It's quite a serious incident.

What's happened with your injury then today?

Yeah, nothing, nothing. Just, you know, stuff.

Literally just lips and drops and hit my arm. It was like the glass was sticking

out, you know what I mean? So it's just like trying to rip my arm.

HQ confirm that the patient closely resembles one of the three fugitives.

Miss Shai Newby is the first fugitive to be arrested and is being

taken to custody to be interviewed.

This is in broad daylight.

There's maybe the public walking by.

How has this gone so horribly wrong?

I'm coming.

Did you intend to cause such injury to kill Mary?

What would you say are the consequences of... attacking somebody with a weapon.

No comment.

He had a stab wound, two centimetres to the left buttock, and a laceration, 10

to 12 centimetres to his left lower leg. Did you cause those injuries?

No comment.

Who are the people in that car?

No comment.

Because this person here, we know that is Rashawn Brown.

No comment.

Again, I'll ask you, do you know either of those two males?

No comment.

You obviously do know them, don't you, because you've arrived in a vehicle with

them. So who are they?

No comment.

You're a working lad. Of course.

Would you work on the highway?

Traffic management, yes. Traffic management, what does that entail?

Setting up cones.

I think it's pretty fun, that. Not bad, it's all right.

Agency, it's all right. Oh, yeah, agency, yeah.

Quite happy to go out to work. You're quite steady in your approach to life.

Of course.

This, now that you've been caught up in, is not what you really particularly

want to be caught up in. We're talking about a conspiracy.

You're all being involved in something that's resulting in the death of Marie,

who's sadly been killed.

Yeah? Mm -hm. How does that make you feel?

I don't know.

Michelle Newby.

has responded no comment through the interview and provides no information on

the whereabouts of the remaining fugitives.

What do we know about Narai? His history? Is he known to the police?

DI Smith and DC Pickup are background -checking victim Narai Morse to

if he has any links to his killers.

He's known on the system, but he's not got...

So it's not really clear why this has happened.

It's a blur that day.

I got a voice note off his nephew, Darice, that Nicole, Nicole, Narai's

stabbed. I rang Narai's phone straight away and Darice has answered and

Darice was just saying it's not looking good.

Darice was just hysterical on the phone. I couldn't get no sense.

When we got to the hospital, they just come in and just told us that Narai.

That he's died. He didn't make it.

Gone.

Just like that.

I just... It's like a dream.

It really is.

And that was him when he was at school and he had no teeth. His teeth started

falling out.

Very talented, you know, he was very ambitious.

Because when he was young, he used to be in a band. He used to play the guitar.

I remember a time when he played the guitar and sang Redemption Song all by

himself in front of, like, 200 people.

Narai's death comes just four months after the birth of his first child.

Narai, when he has his baby, he's so proud, really.

When he found out he was having a son, he just...

He was ecstatic. He really took on the father role seriously.

He thought it would be amazing to watch them together and watch them just bond.

He was a good father.

He really was.

He made lots of sacrifices.

I was studying law still at the time, so when it was my exam season, he'd take

over, like, having the baby, looking after him, cleaning, cooking, and I'd

get that time to kind of revise and study, and he was really helpful.

Our son, he's going to throw up and he's going to want to know why he's not got

his dad there.

I think they were cowards, to be honest with you, to stab someone and basically

run away and drive away.

I think, to me, you're a coward and you're a murderer.

Hi, there's a fire in my neighbourhood on the pathway and it's getting really

big. There's a car that's been on fire just over the road from my house.

Does it look like it's been in an accident at all?

No, I haven't found anything that's been on fire.

OK, that's fine.

The getaway car in the murder has been found burnt out, putting vital DNA

evidence at risk.

So this is the Grey Golf being parked up on an industrial estate.

He's pouring the accelerant onto the vehicle.

They actually set light to this car.

That vehicle will contain all kinds of forensic evidence.

They'll know full well there's a fair chance we can link people to that

It can be incredibly frustrating if a lead goes out, but it's important that

don't let that get you down, because there'll always be something else.

Just got the PNC up for Brown to have a look at his history.

He's not really got a long history at Audex. Well, he hasn't got any history

gang -related offences.

He's got a previous conviction.

Possession of a bladed article.

He pleaded guilty and was given a suspended sentence of 16 weeks.

A background check has uncovered that Rashawn Brown is currently on probation

for carrying a knife.

Probation.

Rashawn Brown.

We've executed a warrant at Home Dress this morning, negative.

Terrific, thanks so much, bye.

He has a meeting with his probation manager at 1 .30.

Let me put a phone call in and see if we can get somebody down there.

Afternoon.

Our suspect for the murder has got an appointment near to Victoria Station.

You get hands on.

Probably better to do a silent approach.

He'll be on his toes this hard.

The tactical aid unit are being deployed to the probation office in central

Manchester, where Rashawn is due at his appointment in 30 minutes.

He knows what he's done. He knows he's going to prison for a long time.

Something wicked this way comes. That's it. What the hell?

Something wicked this way comes.

We need to get him before he can get out of the country.

Something wicked this way comes.

Will you send me a quick update?

No change.

No change.

Fugitive Rashawn Brown is on the run after fatally stabbing 24 -year -old

Morse.

Have you spoken to the woman at the probation service? Is it unusual for him

to attend?

Greater Manchester Police have received intelligence. He is due at an

appointment with his probation officer in ten minutes.

The tactical aid unit are lying in wait at the location.

Have we had any result?

No, Jake.

Thanks. Cheers. Thank you. Bye -bye. Bye -bye.

Not turned up at the probation service.

He's not got anything to lose.

It's clear that criminals do understand the processes that the police go

through, but it's also difficult for them to sidestep them.

I think criminals do think they're smarter than us, but they're not.

Yeah, his phone went dead at 1 .38 this morning.

Rashawn Brown's location is currently unknown and the SIM card has been

from his phone.

Phone analysts are using top -secret technique, only authorized in time

-critical cases, to establish Rochon's new means of communication.

We already had what we suspected was the number pointing to Rochon Brown.

It got dropped at 01 .38.

The work is highly classified, and their identities are being protected due to

the covert nature of their work.

During a manhunt, you will always try to link the suspect back to a phone in

some way.

We live on them. Everybody needs them.

You're hunting the subject, of course you are, but you're hunting the phone.

He's got a new number, hasn't he?

If a suspect thinks that if they take the SIM card out and ditch it, that's

Nobody knows where I am.

I'm not the case. I'm far from it.

Are you on the run? You're probably shitting yourself.

When they're out there on the run and they're keeping their head down, moving

around different associates, their heads are really in overdrive. But your life

just doesn't come to an end. They still need to communicate in order to get the

resources to stay on the run.

The analyst must use specialist tactics to establish the fugitive's new means of

communication.

Getting a new number for a wanted subject is a real crucial part of the

Every phone leaves to trace.

You're taking on a massive responsibility, and you're under

you know, he could go on to murder someone else, they could get murdered.

We need to find the suspect.

Sorry to disturb you. I'm a police officer. I'm just carrying out house

inquiries. There was a murder down the road. If anybody's seen anything,

the police.

To uncover more leads, the major investigation team are sent out to scour

neighbourhood. to gather any further witness statements and CPTV.

If you do remember anything, or if somebody else speaks to you... OK,

very much OK.

You didn't see anyone suspicious or unusual?

No, and I usually do if I come out in the garden. I'm a bit naughty, actually.

Well, that's always a good thing for us, isn't it? It's a good thing, yeah.

All right, Rachel, let's go through the

CCTV.

The team have obtained footage from a shop near to where the murder took

You see them walking from across this area on the CCTV.

The CCTV shows the suspects seven minutes before the murder.

You see there's three people in the vehicle.

That's Misha Newby.

That's Ruchon Brown.

He's very distinctive.

Large, heavy -built male.

The backseat passenger has not been identified as yet.

We believe he's the driver of the VW later on.

If I stop it there, you can clearly see.

This is Nerai Morse.

Here's our two victims.

Dries Morse is the male with the hood and the balaclava.

If I just move that forward a little bit.

You can see he's got a knife.

So that's the lad who got out of the back seat of the VW.

He's got a knife in his hand as well.

They attacked the three males in the shop straight away, so it was an

attack.

The footage shows six minutes before he was stabbed, Narai and his nephew,

Darice, who was carrying a weapon, have entered the store after the three

fugitives.

This incident has happened in broad daylight in one of the busiest shops in

community.

Any time, a member of the public could have been stabbed.

Nerai and Dries go into the shop and attack this group. If it was a fist

that's one thing. Yeah. But to go in with a knife and to try and attack the

males with a knife has led to what's happened.

There's Rashaun getting in the back behind the driver's seat.

And significantly now, two and a half minutes until the murder.

They went and killed Nerai Moss.

Clearly something has happened previously.

We've not managed to learn what that is yet.

With the shop situation, I feel like there's a lot of questions why you went

into the shop.

Is that, like, a true kind of reflection of his character? But the truth is, we

don't know why he went into the shop that day. I feel like with knife crime,

always look at these stories and you think, well, there must be a reason

this. These are questions I ask myself all the time.

Is why?

No, right.

And his nephew actually went into that shop.

I just don't understand why he done it. It doesn't make sense.

But no matter what you do, you know, it doesn't justify the fact that him going

into that shop has ended up in him losing his life.

The police have received information about the possible identity of the

of the car, but they have so far not been able to place him at the scene.

Now CCTV from the shop shows a clear image of the third as yet unknown

They've given...

Three names, given the shy that's been involved, given that Sean's been

involved, and possibly somebody called Jermaine.

There's a murder and the suspect needs to be identified.

It's a massive pressure.

I would be so worried that I might miss something, a piece of information.

You can look into the two nominals that you've already identified.

And you can look at people that are associated to them, hoping that you get

further, that you can identify them.

Where are we?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

This one.

Who's this, Gemma?

Look, that's definitely him. Yeah, look, he's got the surname.

Yeah, did it. Brown was with somebody called Jermaine.

I think it's safe to say that.

That is him.

The team have established the male driving the car as 22 -year -old

Lahore.

Are you happy with the images that we found to call in the suspect?

It is for me. We're going to get a warrant. Yeah, we've got an address for

Yeah, got an address.

I'm on to TAU.

Tactical units are being deployed to the suspect's last known address in the

Moss Side area of Manchester.

This is an arrest attempt for a male called Jermaine Lee Hong.

We believe that Jermaine is the driver of the vehicle.

Jermaine is to be arrested on suspicion of murder.

Yeah, limit officers, we're just turning off Abbottage Road, going into Mock

Lane.

Mr. Police, can you come to the door, please?

Please come to the door or else we're going to have to force entry.

On the mark.

On the mark.

On the mark.

On the mark.

On the mark.

On the mark.

Let's try and find where Jermaine's room is.

Jermaine Lahong and Rashawn Brown are the prime suspects in a murder and have

far obeyed a capture by the police.

Clear. Clear.

The team are searching Jermaine's registered address.

They'll do the search for us.

Hiya. Do you live here?

Can I have a conversation with you, please? You can't go into the address at

moment. We're trying to find Jermaine. When did you last see him?

Jermaine? I think it was Monday night.

Monday night? We need to speak to him because of the serious nature of what it

is.

With the suspect not at the address and the occupants unable to provide

information as to his whereabouts, a forensic unit will be sent in while the

manhunt continues.

If the suspect isn't at the address,

It's frustrating.

You've built yourself up to be full of adrenaline.

It's just straight back to the drawing board.

It's all about trying to locate your suspect for your murder within the first

hours.

When it gets past that point, that's a massive concern.

You might be losing evidence that might help us in the manhunt.

The worst case scenario is if the committee emerges in broad daylight

you've got members of the public, they don't care if a member of the public is

hurt.

That's a massive concern for me.

They should be able to go into a shop or, you know, about the daily business

be safe with the children.

Unfortunately, because of these type of offenders, they're not.

There's this number here on 5 -7.

Phone analysts have had a breakthrough and think they've identified a new

for Rashawn Brown.

That's his call history from 16 -01 when it became active yesterday.

Whilst the subject might be savvy or he thinks he's savvy enough to try and

avoid a police detection, the way a phone communicates in this day and age

just astonishing.

That is just what you were looking for, mate. That new number will hopefully be

the new number for John.

Where's that phone staying?

Where has that number stayed tonight? Where did it sleep? What's it doing? Is

still active?

It seems to be hitting a cell mast around the bury area.

Cell fighting is the absolute key ingredient.

You make a call, it will go to the nearest communications mast.

It's building up that picture there on where your phone goes.

Hopefully that's him.

A search reveals the phone is cell -citing in an area of Bury that is

a relative of Jermaine Mahon.

Suggesting both suspects could be hiding in a local address.

You get that number and you're thinking, I'm ahead of you, mate.

We're on to you and you have no idea.

You've absolutely no idea that at some point in the near future, your door's

coming crashing in.

There's been quite a lot of work in relation to trying to find round.

North Manchester have identified a new number.

The fourth critical wanted unit are being drafted into the manhunt.

We look for the worst of the worst.

Manchester's most wanted.

The Force Critical Wanted Unit will get involved with only a very small number

of manhunt investigations where our suspects, they're going to be hard to

We've got top -end authority.

We have the ability to use and utilise covert tactics.

Things like surveillance, looking at communication data, that then can lead

to identifying where they are or where they may be in the future.

We've got possible address to deploy to. Yeah. The number is palpating in that

area.

We'll watch address, see what we can see.

We can deploy covert observation quickly so that we can remotely monitor

addresses.

That then gives us the ability to see who's coming and going from the address.

Watch it, ETA.

Roger.

Tactical units are now on standby.

If we see our suspect, we can move in really quickly and arrest them.

Down there, down to the back, down to the front.

As force critical wanted are preparing to strike on the address, they believe

both fugitives to be hiding it.

Urgent intelligence comes in from 12 miles away.

Go ahead.

Vehicle, make it up for us. What? Surgeon 107.

There's a report that he's been sighted in Trafford.

It looks like him, but we don't know. We just don't know.

An unconfirmed sighting of murder suspect Rashawn Brown has been reported

miles from the address police currently have under surveillance.

They're saying he's just been sighted in Trafford.

Completely out of line with the phones that we've got, thinking he's in Bury.

With units waiting at the address, DIACA must decide whether to strike or follow

the new lead.

Those are the most uncomfortable periods because what you then get is elements

of doubt creeping in.

It's at those points that you need to hold your nerve.

Yeah, I think you've got reasonable ground to suspect.

So, yeah, I agree.

So we can try now and then see what we've got there. Hopefully it's just

Good luck. Good luck.

DIACA gives the order for all units to strike on the address.

Do you know what, by the way, DIACA?

What's your ETA? What's your travel time?

No change? No change.

We're likely to be faced with somebody that killed somebody with a knife.

This might be their last day of freedom, and we're going to take that away from

them.

If they murdered once, could they kill again?

Get in there.

Front and back in.

Find out who we've got.

The police! Open the door!

Open the door! I can see you inside! Open the door!

Welcome.

Hello, police!

You're off the scene.

You're off the scene.

Of course you are.

Police! Police!

Police officers at Taser!

Police, show yourselves!

Only one there?

Right, that's the next one.

Let's hold on there.

Yeah, go.

All right. You're new.

You're off the day.

Let's go, sir.

Are you now under arrest?

I'm content to answer your questions.

Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

Do you understand me? No.

One detained.

We've still got one in standing. Yeah, we believe there were two in here. The

other lad's quite skinny. If he's in there, I'd imagine he dived into a loft.

Do you know where Nick's from? I'm not going to lie, it's a really good reason.

Yeah. What about your friends? Do you know who they may be?

No, I don't.

What? I actually don't. Like, I don't know.

So how old were they then?

I honestly don't know.

Do you honestly know where this Jermaine is?

Whose name?

How do you know it's the same person, then?

Are we

happy there's nobody else there, I take it?

Yeah, for sure.

We see excellent results.

I'm going to go and preach the good news now.

Brian's been arrested.

Well done. Really good work.

Happy? Yes.

On to go.

Cheers. Thank you very much. No worries.

Fuck the camera crew.

Fuck the people.

Okay, well, we'll take that, won't we, mate?

Rashawn Brown has been arrested and is being detained at Central Park custody.

He faces up to life in prison.

I've included the stills of...

him and his two mates, and the fact that we've got names to the individuals and

we know who they are.

The final suspect in the murder case, Jermaine Lahong, is still at large.

The team are preparing to interview Rashawn Brown, hoping to get him to

information about the murder and the remaining fugitives' whereabouts.

What we don't want to do is show our entire hand from the outset.

We need to understand what's the hierarchy of the group. We need to

the dynamics of the individuals.

Brilliant.

Where have you been since Wednesday?

No comment.

Is there any reason why you wasn't at your home address, why you haven't been

there?

No comment.

Is it because you knew that we were looking for you?

No comment.

I don't need to tell you.

You will have an idea of what is held on our police systems in relation to

yourselves, and I'm not going to go into massive amounts of that.

Help me to understand what the sort of hierarchy is.

How does it work?

No comment.

Why didn't they?

Come into that shot and look like he wanted to attack you. What has happened?

Please tell me if I'm wrong. I'm sort of understanding that at some point you've

been friends with each other.

No comment.

We possibly may have gone to the same school together.

No comment.

Because if it is that at some point you have been friends with Neri, which I

believe that you have, how are you now feeling that he's dead?

He's been stabbed, he's dead.

His family have lost their son.

How do you feel about that?

No comment.

What contacts have you had with Jermaine since Wednesday?

No comment.

Where is Jermaine?

No comment.

We know that...

People are angry and upset about what's happened.

They've lost their eyes.

They could be out trying to seek retribution. We could end up with

murder and the risk that's posed out there for other people is really high.

The Force Critical Wanted Unit have no current leads on the location of

Lahong and decide they need a new approach.

But we may want to do a series of arrests or warrants.

We try and shake the tree a little bit, see if we get some information from

people that we talk to, see what we're going to cover.

You can't take your foot off the gas.

The effect that one arrest can have on the second suspect depends on that

individual.

Please come to the door after that force entry.

Does that then up the ante for them?

Police! Police!

Do they switch everything up? Do they change everything?

Go to ground and disappear?

We need to keep the pressure on. So they have nowhere to go.

After seven days, Jermaine Lahong, the driver of the vehicle used in the

has handed himself in.

You haven't been arrested for murder, have you?

Hi, Rach, OK?

I've just woke up.

Oh, that's a good effort, that. There's some really good news.

Lohong has handed himself in at Central Park.

Fantastic. All three in custody.

Really good job.

Fabulous, great.

We'll get the family updated and I'll keep you posted. All right. Thanks,

OK, thanks. Bye, bye.

Fugitives Mishai Newby, Rishan Brown and Jermaine Lohong.

are now all apprehended, arrested and in custody.

Why has this happened?

Why has he been murdered?

What had he done that was so wrong that caused you and your friends to hunt

him down and kill him?

There's this perception that it's all gang -related and that's just not right.

It isn't at all because there's this culture that people are taking knives

with them and people are dying and that is what's happening.

I do feel like justice has been served and I do feel like the police have done

amazing with getting that justice.

But it still doesn't take away the fact that Narai will never be here again.

What keeps me going is just letting Narai, you know, live on

in the heart of us.

That's what makes me wake up each day.
