00:32Lord, I know the coming days are going to be hard for me.
00:36Yasmin, we've got two less for lunch.

01:21To arrive early and help Mrs. Godwin with the church.
01:24I'm sorry, I promise it will never happen again.
01:28It will.

05:03And we'll give it a shot.
05:08good afternoon we don't often see you here on your own yeah well the commissioner has been
05:16encouraging me to put myself out more and you've got to do what the big man says right so i
05:21thought
05:21i'd try my hand with the domino's crowd good for you i'll introduce you um it's a lot noisier than
05:31there they play back home i mean back there it's it's more sedate and less um passionate exactly
05:38that so off and away with the english everyone this is mervyn he was looking to play oscar maybe
05:50you could play with me sure yeah nice to meet you oscar nice to meet you um be gentle with
05:58me yeah
05:58it's been a while oh naomi you're not working today we are now i'm afraid got an accidental death
06:07coroner is away at the moment so we have to go and sign off on it mervyn's here he was
06:13just about
06:13to play his first domino's game on the island there you go what oh that's it well okay then uh
06:25nice one mate we should uh have a rematch sometime yeah by the 12th or never it's not over already
06:33the man totally thrashed me i was only gone a few moments it's like a hurricane never seen anything
06:39like it ds thomas please tell me we've got a new case to deal with because that was genuinely
06:46humiliating we have by saint vincent's church which is seb's mother's church he was the one that called
06:58it's in see you oscar english
07:05victim's name sylvia godwin she was 85 years old god bless her i can't believe she's gone just like
07:11that did you know her well since i was a kid she was like auntie to me you know
07:18sorry mate so was she alone when it happened she stayed behind after service to tidy up looks like
07:26she was dusting the cross and lost her footing and pulled it down with her poor woman paramedics reckon
07:32she banged her head when she landed caused an injury to the brain and you found their body officer rose
07:38mm-hmm me and my mama and miss celie she's the head mistress at the church primary school down the
07:44road miss godwin something isn't right it's not adding up this whole scene in front of it it's
07:52it's just not adding up for me it's her shoes what's wrong with her shoes there's nothing wrong with her
08:00shoes per se they're nice enough sunday best shoes got a bit of a heel on them about two inches
08:07i reckon
08:08the thing is most people if they're going to climb up on a chair to do some dusting and they're
08:13wearing heels they're going to remove them beforehand to be more sure-footed safety first
08:18and all that and at 85 years old i think mrs godwin here will be even more likely to do
08:25that than
08:25anyone younger or more agile so what are you suggesting that she didn't climb up on the chair
08:34no she didn't and if she didn't climb up on the chair she didn't fall from the chair and if
08:39she
08:40didn't fall from the chair she didn't bang her head from falling and if she didn't bang her head from
08:44falling then what did actually happen here you think it's suspicious i think we've been sold a lie
08:50but that's not possible why not because the church was all locked up from the inside so nobody could
08:57get in or out show me so when we got here we went to the back entrance it's locked
09:09let one go in
09:12the keys in on the other side so we came around to the front entrance to the same situation let
09:19me see
09:21there's a key in here too so i had to bust the door open
09:29see whose key is that mrs godwin's she usually locks the door and she's tidying up so nobody bothers her
09:35show me the back door
09:41is this also the victim's key no that's from the hook over there sir i don't know how it got
09:46in this
09:46door could someone have been hiding in here while you were in there no way as soon as i found
09:53her
09:54i saw my phone had no juice i came straight in here and called the ambulance i'm telling you both
09:59doors were locked on the inside if someone killed mrs godwin and staged a crime scene then how did they
10:07manage to get out no that just can't be there is no reason anybody would want to do that to
10:17sylvie
10:18she's right it's crazy you think it is suspicious well can you tell us a little more about her did
10:24mrs
10:24godwin have any family was she married was but he passed away when was it now it was 2017 i
10:30officiated
10:31the funeral i mean you want to know about sylvie's life it was this church this church was her family
10:39that's the truth she had been coming to saint vincent since before i was born
10:45she was christened here she got married here she and she never missed a single sunday service in all
10:52of her life pastor i came straight over thank you for coming hector oh
11:00i called hector and told him the news he was very close to sylvie she was his school teacher many
11:06years ago
11:07hector mys
11:11dear wilson yes thomas
11:15so mrs godwin was a teacher st vincent primary school i took over from her as headmistress when
11:22she retired and you kept in touch with her always the things she did for me as a kid
11:29above and beyond you know
11:35in what way she kept an eye on me because my parents didn't
11:41sylvie and walter her husband they never had kids themselves hector met the world to her
11:47that's why this just can't be true that woman had nothing but good in her
11:57well if you think of anything you let us know yeah
12:14you can go and rest your feet now i'll clear all this up you want to make your herbal tea
12:19after a day
12:20like today all i want is for you to pour me a rum a large one all right christmas from
12:27coming out
12:27early this year seb your inspector
12:34is he usually right about this kind of thing 99.9 percent of the time so someone did murder sylvie
12:43but who i don't know but couldn't have been anybody at the church right so maybe
12:51sylvie had things going on in her life that we don't know about
12:56but mom i promise you whatever it is we'll figure it out
13:06i know this hasn't played out how we expected but i had to do what i had to do
13:12no i'm not coming back yet not until i've got what i came for
13:33finish your breakfast
13:42you're welcome
13:51oh
13:52oh
13:54commissioner you made me jump
13:56good morning inspector good morning
13:59this arrived for me in the morning post
14:05it's from your victim
14:10mrs godwin saw me on the local news covering the recent police initiative event she said she could
14:18tell i wanted to put things right and that's what she also needed to do right or wrong
14:25but she didn't say what that was only that whatever it was was of a criminal nature and had something
14:33to do with saint vincent's church there is a dark secret that has been buried for too long
14:38and it's time the truth came out
14:43it was posted on saturday morning
14:48and 24 hours later she was dead
14:54well this gets more interesting by the minute how much is in mrs godwin's bank account
14:58that's what you're talking about what you're talking about what you're talking about what you're
15:06sure about that like seriously seriously well new primary school head teachers earn so much
15:12i requested statements that go further back all i have is the last five years and the money was
15:17already in the account the victim's husband walter is it what did he do for a living mr walter godwin
15:22he was a caretaker at the same school that mrs godwin worked at i think that's where they first
15:27met so suddenly to be his money do we know anything about her family yeah mrs godwin told me once
15:33her parents were farmers they definitely weren't rich so she didn't inherit it could the money have
15:39something to do with the crime she talks about in this letter the one connected to saint vincent's
15:43officer rose give your mom a call see if it sparks a memory or something yeah cool but all of
15:49this is
15:49a bit odd because it's nothing like mrs godwin i mean two million dollars that's crazy she wasn't
15:56that kind of person once we're done here we're gonna go and search mrs godwin's house also we've
16:02emailed everyone on the saint vincent's weekly newsletter to see if any of the parishioners saw
16:06anything suspicious yesterday okay thank you sir that was the solicitor handling sylvie godwin's will
16:15it seems mrs godwin has left everything to hector moyce wow so this guy's just become a millionaire
16:25it appears so sir what do we know about him he's a fisherman or was but he hasn't worked for
16:32the
16:32last 18 months or so due to an injury out at sea so if he's had no income for almost
16:39two years then
16:40then two million's gonna come in very handy i don't know either it's all a bit crazy right now
16:51mom i'll speak to you later i got to go i'll leave it to his inspector no worries commissioner sir
16:57i just
16:58got off the phone to my mother and she has no idea what sylvie godwin was talking about in that
17:02letter
17:02well if if anything else comes to mind you let me know yeah all right where are you going to
17:08interview
17:09hector moyes he's a possible suspect now hector a suspect he's a good guy he wouldn't kill anybody
17:16let alone sylvie godwin she was like a mother to him well these are the questions we have to ask
17:21it's what we do without fear or favor remember
17:30that used to be my boat there spent more time to get on me and her than anyone else
17:38and then some doctor you don't even know writes a certificate saying you can do it no more well
17:47how are your finances now you're not working i'm struggling all right no one wants to employ a guy who
17:54only knows how to do one thing in his life yeah but that will change us now doesn't excuse me
18:01what
18:01mr moyes you inherit the bulk of sylvie godwin's estate and don't tell us you didn't know her solicitor
18:08told us mrs godwin informed you when she made the will a few years back yeah i knew but she
18:13got hardly
18:13nothing just our house which is a few tens of thousands you think i'd kill for that you're telling
18:18us she didn't let you know what was in her will no why it's more than just her house 2
18:27.4 million
18:27dollars more i'm sorry what is this a joke funny how things turn out hey yeah i didn't know she
18:37had
18:37that kind of money i swear to you she never mentioned a word to me about it look i get
18:43it i get how it looks
18:44to you i need money badly i'm desperate but i had no idea sylvie was loaded like that so why
18:53would i kill her
18:59sarge found some kind of time machine in mrs godwin's office oh it's a computer
19:08uh have you done those it no not yet okay you do that and i'll do this cool
19:18well it seems to be working so i noticed your dad wasn't around yesterday if you don't mind me asking
19:26how old are you and is he yeah he um he passed away i'm so sorry how old were you
19:36eleven that's so young it must have been hard
19:42really hard you know yeah my first lesson in pain
19:48what seeing my mother rise up every morning after that that showed me what true love looks like you
19:56know made us closer a team you can tell
20:10the bell shot dipty you know what a dipty is yeah it's um used to measure oil in the car
20:18you know
20:18you dip it in take your toe i said dipty you're trying to say dipstick right dipty a painting or
20:26carving on two panels usually hinge like a book oh you mean dipty yeah man you know about dipty and
20:33them thing yeah well apparently this bell shot dipty is rare priceless kind of rare yeah why was sylvie
20:42interested in this let's check her search history
20:53why watch her she searched the hell out of it this was three days ago friday the day before she
21:00posted
21:00that letter to the commissioner the bell shot dipty is a rare french panel painting from the middle ages
21:11each panel measures 50 by 30 centimeters rare so it's worth some coinage
21:17hmm it's worth major coinage if anybody could find it it went missing from france during the second
21:22world war and here it is it's believed the diptych was taken from a museum in paris by a young
21:29german
21:29soldier called joseph krauss they reckon he brought that same painting over here to the caribbean when
21:36the vichy government sends a new governor to martini krauss and a couple of other german soldiers
21:41accompanied him and what happened to it when he came here why jano but joseph krauss he fled the
21:49region when war finished and the painting never resurfaced and some historians believe that krauss
21:55hid the belshaw diptych on one of the smaller neighboring islands like saint marie right so
22:02our victim was looking into this belshaw diptych and the next day sent a letter to the commissioner
22:09saying she wanted to put right a wrong that took place many years before at st vincent's church and
22:1424 hours later sylvie was murdered in the church with both doors locked from the inside
22:20she also had over two million dollars in her bank account and we've no idea how she got that money
22:26but
22:26if she came into possession of this painting then maybe that could explain why she ended up so rich
22:36okay let's keep digging yeah and ds thomas get in touch with the commissioner because if there's any
22:41truth in it this could be a big deal
22:56everything all right
23:01it's just like first hector then mrs godwin it's all it's all a bit much right now
23:11sylvie was all about doing the right thing you should have said so no because it's like
23:17you said right without fear or favor so it's not right me defending her is it even if i know
23:23it's
23:23the truth except if this case is too close to home it's okay to take a step back no it's
23:30cool sarge
23:31it's cool i i really want to help get to the bottom of this for sylvie yeah sure yeah i'm
23:38good
23:38all right then i'll see you tomorrow morning yeah all right take care of yourself
23:48all right thanks for letting me know mrs martin you have yourself a good evening
23:55sir that was one of the parishioners from saint vincent's received the email we sent out asking if
24:01anyone saw anything suspicious yesterday says she saw a woman outside the church yesterday morning
24:07parked up in a hire car never seen her at saint vincent's before description it was a silver vehicle
24:13with logos for cariba car hire the woman looked in her 50s with shoulder length blonde hair not much

24:29she i'm
24:30telling you the police haven't found it yet i watched two officers leaving her house both of them
24:34carrying evidence and they didn't have it with them so where's it got to i know a little of the
24:41history

30:17the toilet
30:17roll pm says the victim became unconscious and died of hypoxia and reckon she was hit with something

30:32all these printouts on the floor sir oh that's from uh kariba car hire they sent the details of the
30:37woman who was seen outside st vincent church the morning of the murder selena bascom 54 years old

30:50a tourist there's nothing interesting about her yet well then you didn't look properly seb because
30:55on her passport she uses her maiden name godwin as in sylvie and walter godwin how did i miss that
31:06we need to talk to her right away so i can fletcher yeah sorry about that hello hello
31:30seb this is cool you trying to move the case on but your head is pinging around all over the
31:36place
31:36it's close to chaos in there i understand what it looks like sarge but i've been up all night doing
31:41a
31:41lot of work and i feel like i'm very close to you should go home okay have a shower get
31:47yourself straight
31:47but sarge i need to finish i know i know but you're not helping right now we can't work like
31:53this
31:57all right sarge
32:07thanks for coming in miss bascom please take a seat walter godwin was my grandfather
32:13he was stationed on saint marie during the second world war when the war ended he wrote to my
32:21grandmother who was pregnant with my father at the time saying that he wasn't coming home that it was
32:27over between them and he knew she was pregnant yes except i don't think it was him who wrote that
32:35letter i think it was someone else um i found this on the saint vincent's church website it's the day
32:43that's walter godwin got married to sylvie well that's sylvie but that's not walter godwin that
32:52that's not my grandfather see that's not the same man
33:02so you realized that someone might have stolen your grandfather's identity i know they did and you
33:10came here to saint marie to find out who this other walter godwin was that's why you were at the
33:16church
33:16sunday morning to speak with sylvie godwin mrs godwin so how did she react when you suggested that the
33:31man who she'd been married to for 60 odd years may not be who she thought he was she already
33:36knew
33:38she said that she'd only just found out herself that week how well her her plumber had found a box
33:47hidden under the floorboards when he was fixing a pipe i'll find out which plumber sylvie said it had
33:54the true identity of her husband in it all his personal documents making clear what happened to my
34:00grandfather which was what she wouldn't tell me she said that she wasn't ready yet and that she
34:09wanted to do it in her own time and in her own way whatever that meant i think it meant
34:18she wanted
34:19to go to the police first about it which must have frustrated you coming all this way to be denied
34:24the
34:24truth it is my family you have no right to keep this to yourself sorry i can't help you
34:33and in that moment caught up in it all that's when you must have decided
34:38no i wouldn't really i wouldn't i just left i was angry but i didn't want to hurt her
34:45i just wanted to know what was in that box and now she's dead and i don't know where it
34:50is
35:00so if sylvie had this box she talked about where is it because it wasn't at the crime scene
35:07and it wasn't at her house and if someone did steal water godwin's identity who and what happened to the
35:14real water godwin i just got off the phone with a plumber who was over at the victim's house last
35:18friday said sylvie looked haunted after she looked inside that box about an hour later she was getting
35:29inside a taxi saying she needed to go to saint vincent's primary school
35:36she went to see yasmin seeley okay i'm gonna lay it out miss seeley i believe it's you who has
35:46the
35:46missing box sylvie's we could get a search warrant or
36:08so german passport
36:11from the second world war looks like belong to joseph krauss it's believed the diptych was taken
36:19from a museum in paris by a young german soldier called joseph krauss the last visa stamp show he
36:25left martinique at the end of the war and came to saint marie
36:32saint marie times september 27th 1945. it's a report about an unnamed british soldier getting into a
36:41fight with a group of german naval officers and left for dead near saint vincent's church
36:47his body was never found i believe that soldier was walter godwin and i think joseph krauss came across
36:53his body joseph realized he could steal his identity if he could dispose of the body without it being found
37:04a map of the saint vincent churchyard that must be where the real walter godwin was buried he took walter's
37:12uniform and papers and buried him there in this grave so no one would ever find it from that moment
37:20on joseph krauss was walter godwin i guess he suffered his accent as much as he could and by the
37:26time he and sylvie met about 15 years later and he seemed like the englishman she thought he was
37:31we need to get a forensic victim over from godalu i'm assuming mr krauss went to all these lengths
37:43because of this the belshore diptych i mean if the authorities worked out he stole it and came looking
37:49for him then with a new identity they wouldn't find him from what i know he lived a simple life
37:55working as a caretaker for this school and when he and sylvie met everyone always said they truly
38:02loved each other that was the day she retired handed the baton over to me
38:12why have you got this box miss sylvie so we brought it with her when she came here on friday
38:19i asked her if i could keep it so i could look into it some more that's all it's entirely
38:23innocent
38:23not if you didn't tell us about it isn't actually that's suspicious why did you choose to keep it to
38:30yourself
38:35this school is everything to me
38:39and i can't risk its reputation being damaged it's struggling enough as it is financially
38:47all we have to keep going is donations people's goodwill and if it ever got out that we had a
38:52caretaker working here that wasn't who we thought he was was a a nazi soldier who covered up a murder
39:02so you killed miss godwin to stop all this no no no i'm very sorry i should have told you
39:08about it i
39:09no but i didn't kill her
39:20so if joseph kraus sold the belshar diptych and had all that money then why he never do nothing with
39:28it
39:28never spend it nothing perhaps he kept it just in case i mean if the truth ever caught up with
39:34him
39:35then he had the means to change his identity again afternoon sergeant thomas
39:44the trouble is we're still no closer to working out who murdered sylvie godwin
39:49and then managed to exit the building when both the front and back door were locked from the inside
39:55with keys inside the lock
39:59he's buried here my grandfather we believe so yes
40:23officer rose inspector hey um sorry i'll just uh take in a moment you know
40:34i'll give you some space no no no no you're all right i was just coming in to see if
40:39i could
40:39make any more sense of it all me too i guess and not much
40:48usually i find it levels me out i can feel peace here
40:57no sorry i haven't been much use in this investigation it's just been a lot for me you
41:01know i mean look we all have cases that um throw us off balance from time to time when i've
41:07had more
41:07than my first year trust me right see when i'm thrown by a case my brain just starts jumping around
41:17like
41:19some itchy footed grasshopper you know well maybe that is your unique selling point so i'd say embrace it
41:32own it don't let it own you in fact you know what let's try it let's try it right now
41:39yeah
41:39oh we visualize it only this time you are taking the lead okay come on up you get that's it
41:51okay this is the crime scene the murder of sylvie godwin
41:56that door the front door is locked from the inside the keys in the door
42:05sylvie's body is here
42:09this big wooden cross is on top of her
42:15come on just freestyle it yeah just say whatever your brain wants to say
42:21um i'm thinking about when i busted the door open
42:25i hurt mom you know uh when i got home it was all bruised up so
42:29i drank some rum to nom the pn
42:34what that also means it was definitely locked
42:41okay okay what else well then if you were the killer you'll probably prefer to leave the scene
42:49at the back yeah yeah keep going keep going so that way you're less likely to be seen by others
42:53so um
42:54maybe we're in the wrong room the back room come on
43:08so what's she saying to you this room what was it telling you
43:17what collection box it's just usually it sits right there under the shelf no it looks like it's been pulled
43:26out of the cupboard
43:33there's a kind in it and that's odd because because miss godwin empties the collection box every sunday after the
43:40service
43:41today's collection passed down and she gives the money to my mom
43:50so this must have been put in there after she was murdered which means well then the killer must have
43:56put it there
43:58that won't go in
44:02the key's in on the other side
44:07p.m says the victim became unconscious and reckoned she was hit by something with a sharp edge
44:14did take a painting or a carving on two panels usually hinge like a book
44:19local art historians generally believe it was brought to saint marie
44:30bingo
44:32have you solved the case it was actually officer rose and his itchy footy grass upper brain that solved it
44:39i did that coin
44:41explains everything
44:43okay let's move people there's still some things we need to do like get hold of a search warrant and
44:49we need the luminol oh
44:50and we need a tape measure why do we need a tape measure to measure something
45:03we're back in 1945 a young british soldier by the name of walter godwin was killed here on saint marie
45:11his identity was stolen and his body was hidden in someone else's grave
45:17now finally thanks to sylvie godwin and the discovery of this box
45:23that young man can get the proper burial he deserves thank you which brings us to the crime
45:31in the present sylvie godwin's murder at st vincent's church on sunday and although it occurred
45:37many years after walter godwin's murder this little wooden box and its contents helped solve this murder as well
45:45we know from the post-mortem that sylvie was hit with a sharp object
45:49this spray luminal detects traces of blood and this proves that there was blood on the box recently
45:56as you can see here
46:02now we have another time to carry out the relevant tests but when our lab compares this blood
46:07with sylvie's i'm confident they'll match and as this box has only been in one person's possession
46:13since the murder it has led me to believe that sylvie godwin's killer was yasmin seeley
46:24what have you done that's not true someone else must have taken it on them
46:33don't worry miss seeley we'll be coming to this in a minute
46:39throughout this case we've worked on the assumption that sylvie godwin's husband
46:43real name joseph krauss had sold the painting he had stolen which explains why he had so much money
46:50in his bank account well it's half the truth because the unique defining thing about a diptych
46:58is that there are two halves to it diptych a painting or a carving on two panels usually hinge
47:04like a book and we now know that joseph krauss sold only one half of the belshaw diptych
47:12and he kept the other half
47:21witness me
47:24now we'll never fully know why joseph separated the two panels my sense is that he was someone who
47:30liked to hedge his bets be prepared for all eventualities i think that's partly why he never
47:37spent any of the money plus having to explain to his wife to be how he came into such major
47:43coinage
47:44would mean admitting to the theft of this famous piece of art and also being an imposter so joseph
47:51held on the wall of the headmistress's office at the saint vincent's primary school which is now
48:07you're office miss sealy joseph cross must have put it there during his years as caretaker and no one
48:18ever thought anything of it this faded religious icon hanging on the wall of a church school surrounded
48:26by other religious images earlier today miss sealy when we talked in your office that was the day she
48:33retired i saw that frame photo on the wall of sylvie and walter and i happened to notice the outline
48:40of
48:40a larger rectangle around that frame where the paint hadn't faded clearly another picture had previously
48:47hung there for some time i didn't think much of it at first but i had it measured and guess
48:54what it was
48:5550 centimeters by 30 centimeters the exact same dimensions as one half of the belshaw dipped in each
49:03panel measures 50 by 30 centimeters that's why mrs godwin came to see you when she found the box and
49:11realized what was hanging on her old office wall we can't keep it i gotta let the police know but
49:21you
49:21didn't agree did you you told us your school was struggling for money but we had a bit of a
49:28dig and
49:29it's it's worse than that you've not drawn a salary in the last six months to keep it going you
49:37said
49:37yourself the place meant so much to you and so the prospect of getting millions of dollars just
49:44landing in your lap well you just weren't willing to give that up and so after driving home to pick
49:53up food for lorette's lunch gathering you returned to the church to plead with sylvie one more time
50:00please don't do it that money it could help the school so much could help me
50:06but sylvie wasn't for turning was she i'm desperate as officer rose said she always tried
50:12to do good in life and she wasn't about to stop now sorry so in that moment desire for the
50:20money got
50:20the better of you and you decided you were going to stop her i assumed sylvie had that box with
50:25her in
50:25the church that day and this box was your weapon of choice and once you used it to kill her
50:34you
50:35made it look like there'd been some tragic accident
50:45how could you
50:49now knowing that the front door of the church had already been locked by mrs godwin
50:54you made your escape via the rear using the church's spare back door key that you took from
51:00the back room to lock the door from the outside and placing this little coin in the lock
51:15it's locked so that when you returned with officer rose and lorette that won't go in and with the
51:21little play acting it would seem like the door was locked from the inside the keys in on the other
51:27side then when officer rose and his mom headed round to the front you lingered briefly and proceeded to
51:34open the door with the church's spare key pushing this coin out in the process and then inserting that key
51:44inside all you had to do was find the moment to actually lock it okay thank you
51:51i'm going to sign it to be seeing the coin on the floor you picked it up
51:59and without your bag or purse you disposed of it in the collection box
52:15it was very clever of you making it look like sylvie was on her own in the church when she
52:21had that
52:22fatal fall one might say devilishly so but you see sylvie was so determined that the truth would
52:30come out that even after a death her desire to put right a decades old wrong finally won out
52:37this arrived for me in the morning post
52:45officer rose i think mr rest has your name on it
52:54get up
52:57it has been silly i'm arresting you for the murder of sylvie godwin you don't need to say anything
53:03to me

53:19mom
53:27you all right i can't believe what that woman's done poor sylvie

53:40i'm sorry for getting it wrong no you haven't seen me at my best on this case that's not what
53:47your
53:47inspector told me he said it was because of you that it all got solved which is even more impressive
53:56considering you had other things to deal with like your mother keeping secrets and honestly mom i think
54:03it's helping you moving on i don't think you should be getting old and lonely and just focusing on me
54:11and
