00:00I've just heard what I think is two gunshots.
00:30ARB's head straight to the address, half a mile, yep, they're on the floor, they're blood.
00:37ARB's are literally about three, four minutes an hour.
00:41Mel's shot in the head, bleeding out.
00:45All ARB's head straight to the address is just to come up with a multi-starting.
00:50Get the first aid kit.
00:53Get the first aid kit!
00:56Can you hear me?
01:02Can you hear me?
01:03Clear.
01:04Let them sort after us.
01:06Jesus Christ.
01:08Instant death.
01:10Let's just keep going.
01:12Whose house is this?
01:14OK, who are you to him?
01:15Neither.
01:16My room.
01:17Right clear.
01:18Left clear.
01:19Can you do first aid kit?
01:21I'll be honest.
01:22Yeah.
01:23There's no problem, mate.
01:24There's no problem working.
01:25If injuries aren't compatible with life, mate, you need to make that a difference.
01:28They're not.
01:29They're not.
01:30Are you happy with just two of you on the body, mate?
01:32Right, yeah.
01:33Just two of you stay here, mate.
01:34Can you come out?
01:35It's out with the face in case he comes back, all right?
01:37It's loaded.
01:38No.
01:39Absolutely hopeless.
01:40There's nothing that you've done here.
01:41We've got a white purge that's all got so far.
01:42Er, it was, I think it was 207 or 307.

02:47Got another address.
02:48Michelle's fired.
02:49We've got a rope stuck in.
02:51Michelle's fired.
02:53That's copy to ALV1.
02:54Immediately to that location, please.
02:56We're coming as well.
02:57What is going on?
03:00It's crucial that we find the truth.
03:07Hands you on your back.
03:11Got to question everything.
03:13Believe nobody.
03:14It's almost a game of chess.
03:17Trying to get him to slip up.
03:19This is your opportunity to talk to me.
03:26I think we're fairly unprecedented up here.
03:27We're getting multiple addresses with shots fired.
03:28Can I get support, please?
03:29Just up to an area of Cambridge here, please.
03:30317.
03:31Just arrived at the first address.
03:32He's about seeing preservation.
03:33That's right.
03:34Victims right in the hallway.
03:35Injury's not compatible with life.
03:36First, let's give us an ahead and we'll head off.
03:37The victim at the first address in Bluntisham is believed to be 32-year-old Joshua Dunmore.
03:57is believed to be 32-year-old Joshua Dunmore.
04:01I've got family and friends turning up to stick and party soon.
04:05I've just had a phone call of someone saying that they've heard
04:08that something's gone on with Josh, so I'm his best friend, obviously,
04:11so I've come straight here.
04:15Hello, mate.
04:17OK. I can't allow you in at the moment.
04:19Who's it? Is it Josh? Has his dad been called?
04:22Our aim is not answering. Is he in the ambulance?
04:24No.
04:26Can you just tell me, please?
04:29The person's deceased within that address.
04:33This is Darren.
04:35Josh, he's the brother.
04:37Who's what?
04:41Can I tell him?
04:42Of course you can.
04:48Just stay calm, mate.
04:50We're going to tell his dad now, OK?
04:52I've got to ring the brother.
04:53I'm really sorry.
04:54You can stand here with me.
04:57I've got to ring the brother.
04:59The man's arriving at the second address.
05:03That's it.
05:05Apparently, there is a deceased now at the address.
05:09The victim at the moment is unidentified.
05:13We believe in suspects in the possession of a shotgun.
05:17Immediate kind of actions for you guys to confirm we've got no other injured party.
05:22No one else around that against presenting any imminent threat to life.
05:26Did you get anything from the bin?
05:28Hello, mate? Can you hear me?
05:30Well, hello, can you hear me? Not compatible.
05:32We're here to support. Stay not compatible again.
05:34Yeah, not compatible.
05:35Roger. We're here to support if you need to. Do it on your own if you can, yeah?
05:38I'll hold downstairs. Bro, you work upstairs.
05:42I have E3.
05:44I have E3, get out of there, bro.
05:46Two shotgun shells here.
05:47Two shotgun shells at the location.
05:50Vehicle not here.
05:51I have E1 doing an emergency search in the property.
05:54Oh, police, anyone in the building?
05:57OK, do you take right?
05:59Yeah.
06:00OK, open door left, stat.
06:03You all right?
06:05Room's clear.
06:06Yeah.
06:07What we're hearing is injuries not compatible with life.
06:09Second deceased male.
06:12My room.
06:14Room clear.
06:15Room clear.
06:16Happy house clear.
06:17Happy.
06:18Yeah.
06:19Subject vehicle, left location approximately 1-5, 15 minutes ago.
06:24It's a bit surreal, isn't it?
06:27Two minutes ago, I was watching that.
06:32I'd advise not contacting them at all.
06:34I'm just trying to get hold of my brother, OK?
06:36I understand that.
06:37Yeah.
06:38OK.
06:39Our victims look like they are our family.
06:51Yeah, I understand it.
06:52Your father and your son have both been murdered.
06:53I'm going to need to keep you here, OK?
06:54Yeah, OK.
06:55Let's go.
06:56Um, I know this is a big shock and I know it's a lot to take in.
06:57There's someone at Gary's address.
06:58Is it my brother?
06:59Sorry.
07:00And the police say Gary's?
07:01Yes.
07:02The police say Gary's?
07:03The police say Gary's.
07:04Yes.
07:05Is it Gary there?
07:06Yes.
07:07Is he over Jane?
07:08Yes.
07:09Oh my God.
07:10Well, I don't think that...
07:11Is it my brother?
07:12Well, right.
07:13Yes.
07:14Oh, I don't see it.
07:15But even though the police say Gary's...
07:16No, no.
07:17...so very few words.
07:18It's a very sad joke.
07:19Yes.
07:20And what to do with a deal?
07:21That's a good deal.
07:22So, yeah.
07:23No.
07:24No.
07:25I don't think that's the thing.
07:26No, no.
07:27No, no.
07:28No.
07:29My wrong God. Is he?
07:30Yes.
07:31No, I don't know him.
07:32I'm really sorry.
07:34My wrong God.
07:35I can't lie to you.
07:38Fucking hell.
07:40He's definitely dead.
07:41Yes.
07:42I'm so sorry.
07:43I need to...
07:44It's my brother.
07:45I know.
07:49I'm...
07:50I'm...
07:51I've put a full message across North and South.
08:00No use to go home.
08:03MCU will be aware of this.
08:05Yes, sir.
08:06Send everyone's headquarters, please, and we'll break in there.
08:17This is the corridor on the corridor.
08:21This one is really savage, savage.
08:25Scenes then, let's just bottom off the witnesses and the signets we were going to try and get.
08:31So, scene one, which is Joshua's house.
08:36There's a few people that are saying they heard the bangs.
08:41Everybody's saying two shots within about four seconds of each other.
08:47Jake, he's saying he heard noises outside.
08:49He saw the gunman at 19 with a gun, and then he found the body.
08:54So, it's secret to be done.
08:57Scene two, which is Gary's house.
09:00Joe, um, he knows a bit of the background and saw a white Peugeot driving away.
09:08Apparently, there was a domestic-related court case, and there's been disgruntled arguments around that.
09:19So, we make some inquiries, and then we can, we can progress that.
09:24If you know who he's on dispute with, you need to tell me.
09:27I don't know his name.
09:28I find out he's American.
09:30American forces.
09:30He'd married.
09:31Is that?
09:32I mean, Josh, he's ex.
09:33OK, there is a dispute.
09:35Yeah.
09:35Josh won the case.
09:36Yeah.
09:37They weren't happy.
09:39Chloe Romeo, 317.
09:42I'm being told from scene that there was a court case which the ex-partner lost, and the male at Buridan close to one of the court case.
09:48They're saying that the new partner lost it in court, and they think it's connected.
09:53The male's got short, dark hair, and I've been given a name of Paul Stevens.
09:57A possible suspect, which is our Paul Stevens, which is an American serviceman.
10:05They'll be trying to establish more around him, whether he's on the base, whether he has firearms, whether he has any specialist firearms training.
10:18It's a bit concerning he's reloaded that before he's left.
10:21Surely can't.
10:22We're going to do another one.
10:23How's he going to end this, bro?
10:27Where's this going to end?
10:28Can you ask the family?
10:30You've just murdered two people.
10:31Yeah.
10:31What do you do now?
10:32The area that we need to be aware of.
10:34My own ideas.
10:35I'm not having a housing.
10:36What do you do?
10:37I'm thinking that either car's going to be burnt out in the next 10 minutes.
10:41No, I disagree.
10:42Yeah, yeah.
10:44I think you know what I think.
10:45Yeah, I know, but I'm just trying to think where do you go from here.
10:4805-3-4-1.
10:50Just to make you aware, mate, I've got another one coming in.
10:5205-4-7-9.
10:54Shots fired.
10:55Gee, that's easy, thanks.
10:57Something's happening.
10:58He's going around on a vendetta.
11:01Location, please.
11:03Pluncheon.
11:04Press is close.
11:05Pluncheon.
11:07Guys, I've got some information.
11:10I need to get you out of here now.
11:11Is he coming back here?
11:12I need to get you out of here now.
11:13I want you all in your cars, and I want you all to the police station now.
11:17Right, just get in your cars.
11:19Get in your cars, please, and go to the police station now.
11:22Get in any car.
11:24Don't mind which car, just get in cars and go.
11:28Just get in the car and go.
11:30Yeah.
11:30We have now got N's mass lifted.
11:46They're 23 minutes out.
11:47Father and son, Gary and Joshua Dunmore, have been shot dead in their homes in Cambridgeshire.
11:56While we established the fact that nobody had lost due to things.
12:00First time, we've got to call this up and I, I believe they're coming up to support us.
12:03Search your foot in here.
12:05Yeah.
12:05You come from this end.
12:06I'm going to go to the other entrance.
12:07Okay, mate.
12:08I'll let you know when we're in.
12:09Yeah.
12:09With more shots reported, all units are deployed to track down the gunman on the run.
12:17We've got the helicopter overhead now.
12:22Do you want to make them hear me?
12:24Yes, yes, go ahead.
12:26You need to do a very good sweep and check that there is nobody in any obvious location
12:31around the screen there in the western.
12:32As armed officers continue the manhunt, the victim's family must be placed in protective
12:46custody for their own safety.
12:48We have information to suggest there's an immediate risk of harm to you and we need to
12:51get you to a place of safety.
12:54We're in the park area of Mill Lane.
13:00Can you just clear this little bit here?
13:02Do you want to get behind these trees?
13:17Rear pass is 5-4.
13:1910-5-4, go ahead.
13:225-4, the recreation ground off-field lane is negative.
13:25There's no one.
13:27Pre-lating to park with the surrounding roads and tracks.
13:32So, Romeo, 153.
13:375-3, go ahead.
13:39Are you at the police station with all of the family members so far?
13:43Be good.
13:44Have a seat in here.
13:45I'm not sure how much has been passed to you and how much you're aware of.
13:52About my brother and my dad have been shot.
13:55Okay.
13:57In their own homes.
14:01How's it done?
14:02Sorry, Andrew, you probably don't know.
14:05Have they found anybody yet?
14:06Have they found him?
14:06I grew up being friends with Josh.
14:24He's a very, very nice man.
14:26I speak to my dad, brother.
14:29Yeah.
14:29Every day.
14:30Yeah.
14:31Still in shock, so.
14:32Yeah.
14:33You know, yeah.
14:35I think he'll be very old if you weren't.
14:37You can hear me now going, like, my mum.
14:40My mum.
14:40My mum.
14:44My poor boy.
14:50You could do such a thing.
14:52With the family safely secured at Huntingdon Police Station,
14:59officers continue the manhunt led by Cambridgeshire Police's Oscar One.
15:05Count Oscar One.
15:06I've got a job going on now.
15:08Someone's potentially in possession of a lethal weapon.
15:11Got inquiries going on with this Paul Stevens
15:15and trying to establish further details of the car.
15:18Standby.
15:19Getting possible full index.
15:21Where's the suspect vehicle?
15:25It's showing as a Mr. Steve Alderton.
15:30Is the suspect not called Paul Stevens?
15:34So, Samantha Alderton, which is now Stevens,
15:38is the ex-partner of Joshua Dunmore.
15:41So, I think that Steven Alderton is probably her dad
15:45and Paul Stevens is her new partner.
15:49Has dad got a firearms certificate?
15:50I've got some information in town.
15:53Yeah.
15:54My basic sort of theory would be that Paul Alts doing his murders
15:58in conjunction with Steven or Paul on his own.
16:01As of 2341, Paul Stevens phone, the phone,
16:11they're just pinging in the Holiday Inn.
16:15Confirmed there is a room booked for Paul Stevens at the Holiday Inn
16:19and there's two victims registered there as well.
16:22If he's there, I would lift him for conspiracy to murder.
16:31Occupants believe to be in room 319.
16:34Mr. Paul Steven, who is an American serviceman.
16:39Possibly he's still in possession of a firearm.
16:41All right, positions and settle.
16:44Just settle, OK?
16:45Are we looking at arresting both Paul Steven
16:47and wife Samantha Steven for conspiracy to commit murder?
16:51Yeah, that's all ratified.
16:53Please.
16:55Containment's in place on room 319.
16:59When last one's happy, we'll begin the call out.
17:02He's happy for you to move forward.
17:04That's copy.
17:05Are we happy?
17:07Let's be robust with Paul.
17:09Yeah.
17:12Police, occupants of 319,
17:14come to the door with nothing in your hands.
17:16Paul, it's armed police.
17:20Open the door with nothing in your hands
17:22and listen to my instructions.
17:25Slowly.
17:26Hands.
17:26Slowly, Paul.
17:28Walk out towards me.
17:30Keep walking.
17:31Turn to face them.
17:32Listen to their instructions.
17:33Paul, put your hands against the wall.
17:35Hands against the wall.
17:36Don't move.
17:42Quiet perjure.
17:43Confirm that's not been located at the address.
17:46Don't have to believe it's free from the car park.
17:48Can't find it here at the hotel.
17:52Just confirm we've got contact with Paul and Samantha.
17:56Yes, sir.
18:00With the offender's vehicle still not located,
18:02officers take a statement from Joshua Dunmore's neighbour,
18:06who phoned in the first murder.
18:08As I come out of my front door,
18:10I see a guy coming out of my neighbour's house.
18:14I turn around and said to him,
18:15what the fuck are you doing?
18:17He then turned around and pointed a shotgun at me
18:20and told me that he was loaded.
18:26What I need to say to you is really important.
18:28Two persons have been murdered this evening.
18:31I'm arresting both of you.
18:32And we need to arrange childcare,
18:34super childcare for the children.
18:36Okay.
18:36Samantha, what we'll do,
18:37yourself and the children
18:38are just going to go and wait back in the room.
18:40Is that your switch in the hotel room?
18:44Yes.
18:45Do you want to come and show me what games you've got?
18:47Come on, Samantha, we'll...
18:48Okay, kids coming up.
18:51Hello, mate.
18:52Go on then.
18:53What games you got?
18:55Yeah.
18:56Oh.
18:56Are you looking, Paul?
18:57This is the big switch, isn't it?
19:01We can also do piano.
19:04Okay, can you play piano?
19:06No.
19:06No.
19:10You can play the piano.
19:12It's very good, mate.
19:15Hi, you all right?
19:16Are you guys CRD?
19:17Yeah.
19:17So we've got him upstairs now.
19:19Paul, they're both in lifters.
19:20They're both devastated, crying our hearts out,
19:22but you would do, wouldn't you?
19:24Samantha, if you've done nothing wrong,
19:26you've got nothing to worry about.
19:28The last thing we ever do
19:29is take children away from their parents.
19:32But police stations aren't a nice place to go.
19:34And in the long run,
19:35you will appreciate a childcare solution.
19:37We need somebody
19:40that you would trust in the very short term.
19:43Is there anyone you can think of at all?
19:49I have E3.
19:50Go ahead, I have E3.
19:52In the interim,
19:53are you happy that the children are going to
19:54Dad's cousins in Bristol?
19:57I have you pointed that the children
19:59need to go straight into emergency foster placements.
20:02People that don't know
20:03what the dynamics of the family set up is currently.
20:07We have to stop the kids.
20:10We want to bring them down.
20:11We can then get them in the car and get them on the way.
20:13How are you, mate?
20:14You all right?
20:17That's your pistol type, isn't it?
20:19Very.
20:24The guy was agitated,
20:26but he wasn't out of control.
20:28And at that point,
20:30I realised,
20:31he can show me.
20:34He was
20:355'8",
20:375'10",
20:37medium build.
20:42He was about my age,
20:43maybe a little bit older.
20:49Oh, boys,
20:50Stephen's still up standing.
20:51So he's that vehicle that was at both scenes.
20:53So I think
20:54as soon as I can,
20:55I want to get away
20:55and get looking for Stephen again.
21:01I've just spoken to the next door neighbours
21:03of the first victim's address.
21:05And they said that they've seen an older male
21:07looking through the victim's letterbox
21:09just before this incident happened.
21:10Heavy blood staining around the driver's console area.
21:38And in the boot,
21:40there were two spent cartridges.
21:45So, Steve's got a bite more of everyone.
21:47Nice motorhome.
21:49All right.
21:49It's been saying a lot.
21:51Eh,
21:52they're out a few weeks now.
21:56There's a lot more nuts.
21:59Because there's all these cargo.
22:08In the tourist park,
22:09they confirmed that Stephen Alderton
22:11arrived with a mobile home
22:14and a small white car.
22:18He lived there alone
22:19and it was on a rolling month basis.
22:22This evening,
22:24they see a white car come onto site
22:26and they see Alderton's mobile home
22:29leaving site.
22:31Whilst officers tried to locate Stephen Alderton
22:42in his motorhome,
22:44his son-in-law and daughter
22:48are taken into custody.
22:50So, it's alleged that the suspect
22:58has been involved
22:59in a murder of two miles.
23:02One of my colleagues.
23:10We believe we've got the vehicle
23:12for Stephen Alderton
23:13hitting cameras on the M6 northbound.
23:16Yeah,
23:20Fiat Swift in white.
23:22We're thinking that he is in that vehicle
23:24travelling that county.
23:27Units are currently
23:28on route to a tenisper
23:29stopping on this car.
23:33Did you think I'm going 4-1?
23:34We're just past 3-5,
23:36over 5.
23:37I'm going to find out
23:38of a junction for four years.
23:40I'm going to look for seven months
23:41and I'm going to speak.
23:43Yes, yes, mate.
23:44We have got four hours
23:45in combine driving this vehicle
23:46at the moment.
23:47We are on the approach
23:48to junction 5.
23:50To mark our,
23:51stay tight
23:53as we approach 5.
23:55You take the offside,
23:57we will take the near side
23:58and Zulimike 4-5
24:00and take the rear.
24:01OK, we're at the 3-2-1s now.
24:03Traffic are talking in
24:04for the sting.
24:05Standby.
24:07OK, four, push through.
24:12Sting is good.
24:13Sting is good, over.
24:14Good sting, let's go.
24:15Good sting, good sting.
24:17OK, I'll light it up there then.
24:25Pickle, slow in, pickle, slow in, pickle, slow in.
24:28Standby, standby.
24:29Stop, stop, stop.
24:33Oh, police!
24:34Go over, cancel!
24:35Hones up!
24:37You, you, fucking turn me out!
24:39Police have trekked the suspect
24:50of the double murder
24:51more than 100 miles
24:53from the crime scenes.
24:55All the police!
24:56Stay open!
24:56Hones up!
24:57Hones up!
24:58Grab the car!
25:00You, get out of the fucking car now!
25:03Hones up!
25:04Hones up!
25:04Keep your hands on, you can see out!
25:06Keep your hands on you, sir!
25:08Get out of the car!
25:09Get out of the vehicle, man!
25:12Walk towards me!
25:14Walk towards me!
25:15Keep walking towards me!
25:17Go into the front!
25:18Keep walking towards me!
25:20Towards me!
25:21Get down on the car!
25:22Get down on the car!
25:23Put your hands out now!
25:25Hands out!
25:26Put your hands on your back!
25:28Unsecure!
25:29OK, right, thank you.
25:30Codes are big for clear!
25:31What's your name?
25:33Stephen Alden.
25:35Stephen Alden.
25:37Is there anybody else in that vehicle?
25:41OK, let's get the vehicle cleared.
25:44Here for support, if you need.
25:46You got any weapons in the vehicle at all?
25:48Yes.
25:49What have you got?
25:50I've got a shotgun.
25:51Shotgun is in the vehicle, fellas.
25:53Yeah, to be honest with you.
25:55So it's near up here.
25:56Shotgun.
25:57Shotgun found.
25:59Sit down here.
26:01Oh, hey Stephen's here.
26:05It's not easy.
26:07Only a tube on the top.
26:11At this moment it's fine.
26:13You're under arrest on suspicion of murder.
26:15Do you understand me?
26:19It is at the moment, yeah.
26:21Don't show this bit on TV.
26:29It's fine.
26:31With all three suspects detained, officers speak to the victim's family and friends to better
26:37understand the family dynamics in the run-up to the murders.
26:41So part of why we're talking to you is just for us to try and sort of gather a bit of a picture.
26:46What's your understanding of a court case?
26:48We've worked out.
26:49What's that?
26:50A court case?
26:52Well, my brother started it three to four years ago.
26:55Oh wow.
26:56So long ago.
26:57It's a long time.
26:58Josh obviously has a son.
27:00With Sam.
27:02They split up.
27:05Sam remarried an American Air Force airman, Paul.
27:12She met Paul on the base.
27:13They got together and had a baby.
27:17So she has a daughter with Paul and a son with Josh.
27:23Paul is posted back to the States.
27:26She was going to move to America with Paul.
27:30And so basically there's a court case going on to try and prevent her from taking the son to America.
27:42Just follow around for that officer there for us, please.
27:47Media one.
27:48Stephen Alderton is brought to Worcester Police Station.
27:51Good morning.
27:52Morning.
27:53What's your name, sir?
27:54Stephen Alderton.
27:55With a V or P.H?
27:57A PH.
27:58Do you suffer with any mental health issues like anxiety, depression?
28:03I don't think so.
28:05I mean, I would probably say there's a sort of degree of stress, anxiety.
28:13How are you feeling at the moment in yourself?
28:16Well, I mean, it's not exactly the best day.
28:19No.
28:20No.
28:21You know, and...
28:22So how are you feeling?
28:23How are you?
28:24Oh, I mean, I'm not going to do anything.
28:26I'm not going to try and, you know, pop myself or anything else like that.
28:29So the circumstances, please?
28:31The gentleman has been identified as being wanted and suspicion of murder.
28:36Is it domestic or anything?
28:38Sort of.
28:39Sort of.
28:42Sort of.
28:43There's that, Sarge.
28:44Do you hear that?
28:45That's all?
28:46That's all.
28:47OK.
28:48No, no, so much.
28:54Stephen Alderton will be held until the morning, when he will be taken to Cambridgeshire,
28:59where all three suspects will be questioned on the murders.
29:15Shocking news this morning.
29:16A murder investigation is underway after two shootings in Cambridgeshire villages last night.
29:22A 57-year-old man was shot dead in Sutton and a 32-year-old man in Blundersham.
29:27Police were called to this quiet close where I am at the moment,
29:30in the small village of Blundersham in Cambridgeshire.
29:34You've got the blood which is on the floor there,
29:36so I'm just going to record that and swab it.
29:40Not even an hour later, police were called to Sutton.
29:44He was there, let over, in towards the radiator.
29:48The shots were the first thing, which I'm assuming is from the first shot.
29:52Yes, that is the first shot.
29:54I think that he potentially maybe grabbed the barrel as it came through the door.
29:59It just feels a bit weird that it was like that.
30:02Number two went in his body, three and four, while he's on the floor.
30:05We collected the shot pellets from the wall and the staircase, as many as we could.
30:12The tiny, tiny little pellets, the tiniest ones I've ever seen.
30:15Do we know, I mean, did Alderton regularly attend a gun club or anything,
30:25the shooting range or anything like that? Do we know?
30:28I think he was kind of doing like clay pigeon shooting.
30:31Yeah.
30:32But it wasn't like a regular hobby.
30:36Pretty sure these cartridges as well were kind of clay pigeon shooting cartridges.
30:40Right, OK.
30:42Yeah, we have his gun licensing on the GP records.
30:45Yeah.
30:46And when you get your license refreshed, you have to get a note signed by GP saying...
30:49Yeah, so you've got mental health illnesses and stuff like that.
30:52There's a doctor's report in that bundle.
30:54Yeah, exactly.
30:55The full GP report.
30:57August 2022, no acute stress reactions, no suicidal thoughts, self-harm,
31:02no depression, but no psychosis, no personality disorder.
31:05The officer in the case, Detective Constable Claire Atkinson, reviews body-worn footage
31:20of Stephen Alderton following his arrest.
31:23And the trouble is, you know, it's a quite comfortable world where, yeah,
31:29it's a great deal, it's all right.
31:31It feels like a family.
31:33Yeah.
31:35It actually makes me hungry to watch it.
31:39It's so...blase.
31:41It's horrible.
31:42It's horrible to watch, just thinking that someone can be like that straight off the
31:48video.
31:49It's horrific.
31:50Twice.
31:51Twice.
31:52While Stephen Alderton,
31:53is processed through
31:54while Stephen Alderton is processed through
31:58custody, detectives prepare to interview his daughter Samantha and her husband Paul.
32:04So where do you want that?
32:05So that needs to be first.
32:06An end of her understanding of conspiracy?
32:07Yes.
32:08So that's all covered.
32:09Yeah, that's all covered.
32:10Yeah, that's all covered.
32:11I'm going to just cover as well.
32:12Any correspondence with Dad.
32:13Yeah.
32:14On Monday the 27th of March, it was called a
32:15Monday the 27th of March.
32:16It was called an end of her understanding of conspiracy.
32:17Yeah, that's all covered.
32:18An end.
32:19So that's all covered.
32:20Yeah, that's all covered.
32:21I'm going to just cover as well.
32:22Any correspondence with Dad.
32:23On Monday the 27th of March was court day, wasn't it?
32:25This week, Josh, and the Dad.
32:26Just look at that spot.
32:27You're going to be trying to answer the question, oh, I don't know.
32:28You don't know.
32:29I can't wait until you have to answer what they're doing.
32:30You're already doing.
32:32Uh, I'm going to find it.
32:33I need to know the difference.
32:34Really?
32:35And that's a move.
32:36It's just a move.
32:37I've got to know.
32:38I'm going to get you,
32:39I need to know what I'm going to do.
32:40I'm going to try to
32:41get you, you know, you still want to know.
32:43It was a court day, wasn't it?
32:46This week, Josh and my dad and my mum, they've all been to court
32:50and they've had a good court session where my brother's son, he's got to stay.
32:58Sam and Paul sort of lost their battle, I suppose.
33:02And they were both extremely annoyed about their outcome from that court.
33:13So this interview is being recorded and it may be used in evidence if your case is brought to trial.
33:26Today, Paul, you've been arrested for an offence of conspiracy to murder.
33:32A conspiracy is where two or more people discuss an offence that's going to take place.
33:38You are being interviewed in relation to conspiracy to murder.
33:43On Monday the 27th of March 2023, you attended a family court hearing custody of your son,
33:50who you shared with Joshua Dunmore.
33:52Then on Wednesday the 29th of March 2023, Joshua Dunmore was shot and murdered at his home address.
33:59On the same day, Gary Dunmore was shot and murdered at his home address.
34:03So you were saying to me the first time you were aware that something had happened
34:08was when the police came to the holiday in this morning
34:11and you're saying you are not implicated that in any way.
34:18Let me understand if this is correct.
34:19Yours and Sam's plan is to start a life in America.
34:22And obviously the problem you've got is being co-parents, being Josh,
34:27and they don't want him to go to America by the sound of it.
34:31We've disclosed to your solicitor that Steve has also been arrested
34:35and that at the time of his arrest there was a shotgun in his car.
34:39The clear implication in our minds is that Steve has committed this offence.
34:45I think what we're asking is, can you understand why he would go and do this?
35:06Hello.
35:07You all right?
35:08To me, please.
35:09Hello, sir.
35:10Over to me, please.
35:11Over here, yeah.
35:12It's a bit confusing with all these screens, isn't it?
35:14Yeah, no, no, no.
35:15It's fine.
35:16On to...
35:17Have you got an interview update?
35:19OK, so we're in an interview with Tom.
35:22He's very upset about what's happened.
35:24He was in tears in an interview.
35:26And he said that everything was OK in relation to the situation with Joshua.
35:32There's been various court hearings over a period of time.
35:35The one that occurred this Monday, basically they're saying that no decision was made.
35:40In relation to Stephen, he'd come to the hotel that evening with them after court and was being very helpful, very logical about it.
35:49Was putting forward ideas about how they could solve the situation.
35:53There was no inkling as far as Paul was concerned as to what was happening in course, obviously, last night.
36:00Samantha's account is very similar.
36:05She's obviously very upset about what's happened.
36:07She said that she'd spoken to Stephen about it on the Monday after the hearing.
36:12And they, although he was disappointed with it, he seemed...seemed pretty OK.
36:18Stephen, do you want anyone told that you're here at the police station?
36:21Well, I'll probably need to notify my doctor.
36:26She said originally she didn't have a great deal to do with her dad,
36:31but their relationship only kind of really formed after her mum died in December of 2019.
36:36He meets her every single morning at the hotel.
36:44So she said he gets up early, always has done, and he meets them there.
36:48OK, Stephen, do you mind just giving me a signature on the pad there?
36:53Just between the white lines?
36:54Just make sure you're in between the white lines.
36:56She hasn't quite registered.
36:57Just in between the white lines, Stephen.
36:59I think it might have just been a bit underneath.
37:02Oh, there?
37:03Yeah, so actually in between the white lines.
37:06Oh, in there, yeah?
37:07OK, there you go.
37:08There we go.
37:12On the day, the 29th,
37:14they spent most of the day where Paul works,
37:17and then got a call from Stephen.
37:20Stephen was due to pick up the child from school,
37:23but Stephen said that he couldn't do it for whatever reason,
37:28he said he was busy.
37:34The last one they saw Stephen,
37:35they were at McDonald's Wednesday afternoon,
37:38and he dropped off a buggy for them.
37:42She said that she had no contact with her dad that evening,
37:45so that's their last contact they have with him,
37:47and that's about 2.45 in the afternoon.
37:51And she says he kind of sort of races away.
37:54She's really shocked.
37:58I mean, as far as she's concerned,
38:00they've put things in place,
38:02whatever the eventuality was going to be,
38:04whether they got custody,
38:05whether they didn't get custody.
38:07She's got no reason to lie, I don't think.
38:11Do you want some socks?
38:15Uh, yeah.
38:16I've got some.
38:17Yeah, thank you.
38:18Do they not give you any socks in West Matthew?
38:20No, no.
38:21Just give a shit.
38:22No, we'll give you some socks.
38:23That's not a problem.
38:24They're nice in Cambridge here.
38:26Yeah, well, actually, I mean,
38:27I mean, having never been to the police station,
38:29I think they actually do.
38:30They were quite nice.
38:31There you go, mate.
38:32What's the size?
38:36So, I've had a chat with CBS.
38:38They're engaged.
38:39So, obviously, we've got an interview of Stephen tonight.
38:44Yeah.
38:45Hopefully we'll have that account.
38:47Maybe, obviously, if he does talk an interview,
38:50it may be a case of actually with no CBS.
38:52I might see him.
38:58Come and take the seat.
38:59Do you want to take the seat in the corner there?
39:01I'm going to make the presumption
39:03you've not been in a police station
39:05or interviewed by the police before.
39:07No.
39:08You know, that's what I thought.
39:11I've not sat across the table
39:13from somebody who's just shot two people in the head
39:18before a retired professional
39:23who's never been in trouble with the police.
39:25That's not who you expect to sit across from
39:28when you're asking them
39:29about executing two people on their doorsteps.
39:36Do you understand what offence
39:37you've been arrested for today?
39:39Erm...
39:41Can I stop you there?
39:42I'll remind you of your right to violent.
39:44Oh, no comment.
39:45So, you understand you've been arrested
39:49for an offence of murder, OK?
39:52Are you saying no comment
39:54because you are responsible for the murder
39:58and you have no explanation to give?
40:00No comment.
40:04Are there any questions that I could ask
40:06that you would answer at the moment?
40:09I don't know what questions you would be asking.
40:12I could only respond to that
40:13based on the question that you put to me.
40:17Tell me about your relationship with Samantha.
40:21Er, no comment.
40:22Is she your daughter?
40:24No comment.
40:26Are these murders related to Samantha and Paul?
40:30No comment.
40:31No comment.
40:34The thought process is this has started from the family court hearing.
40:40Is this what's led to Joshua and Gary being shot?
40:45Is that accurate?
40:46Er, no comment.
40:47Er, no comment.
40:50Is this a plan to clear the way so that Samantha can move really to America?
40:57No comment.
41:02The grandchildren, they've been taken into what we call protective custody
41:06and that's mainly because there's nobody to look after them.
41:10Yes, all I would say to respond to that is, you know...
41:17You don't need to account for that.
41:20No comment.
41:21Not only are you here on suspicion of committing two violent murders,
41:37but your daughter and your son-in-law
41:42are also in custody under investigation for conspiring
41:49because we don't know what's going on.
41:52If your daughter and son-in-law have nothing to do with it,
41:57we don't want to keep them here any longer than is necessary.
42:01So I can only plead to you to talk to us.
42:08Yeah, I mean...
42:11My only concern is what you've said there is...
42:15I'll stop you there.
42:16They have had their own interviews to give their own accounts.
42:21Stephen, I appreciate that you've been given legal advice
42:26not to answer any of our questions,
42:27but it is just that. It's advice.
42:30And it is for you to choose whether to take it or not.
42:34Ultimately, this is your opportunity
42:37to explain what happened and why.
42:40Yeah, um...
42:42There's no Englishman's...
42:44No comment.
42:46OK.
42:48OK, all right.
42:50In that case, I propose that we look at concluding the interview.
42:54OK?
42:56So the time by my watch is now 29 minutes past midnight
43:00and I'm concluding the interview.
43:06Right, he's not going to talk.
43:09He's been given his legal advice.
43:11I'm not going to push it.
43:12Let him think that that is the end
43:15and that was his...
43:17opportunity to talk and he's missed it.
43:21Hey, you all right?
43:23We're out of interview.
43:25You're out of interview?
43:26Hi.
43:27Not as long as I was expecting.
43:28That's because Lister Tom sent a comment.
43:30Yeah, we'll just hang around just in case
43:32he's begging to want to talk to us.
43:33Because I think he wants to.
43:35He wants to. He really wants to.
43:39Your daughter.
43:41Speak for her, for God's sake.
43:42Yeah.
43:46What a shame.
43:48When Stephen set out with his plan,
43:54did he really, truly think through the impact it'd have on his family?
44:01Towels and clothing, underwear, socks.
44:05Brush.
44:06They're the ones you get at the airport.
44:07Right.
44:12I will shut off this block to everybody else.
44:23What?
44:24You brought two trousers.
44:25We just need a cop.
44:27Is that saying out there?
44:30Two bottoms?
44:31No, we've got two bottoms.
44:32We just need a cop.
44:33No worries.
44:34Oi, listen to your back.
44:37No worries.
44:38What, Sam?
44:40Er...
44:42Well, here's a mental healing.
44:44Maybe as well.
44:50Yeah, well, make a distinction, please, Sam.
44:53Try not to talk.
44:55Okay, bye.
45:03There were hundreds of family court battles going on.
45:06Every day of the week.
45:07They don't end in a double shooting.
45:13It's a totally needless event.
45:17Joshua and Gary didn't need to die.
45:19I'm moving away from considering that this was a conspiracy to murder and towards Alderton acting alone.
45:32The gentleman you're about to read of you, mate, has got weirder and weirder as the day's gone.
45:36He wants to talk.
45:37He wants to talk.
45:44And you can find out if he does tomorrow night at nine.
45:46And you'll find details about support that's available for any of the issues featured in the programme at channel4.com slash support.
45:54Next tonight, someone hasn't been saying nothing.
45:57And that's going to be a problem.
45:59Our new drama continues in just a few.
46:00Just a few.
46:01Just a few.
46:02Just a few.
46:07Just a few.
46:08Just a few.
46:22Just a few.
