“They found him.” This bald announcement about the discovery of Daniel Lambert, a soldier who vanished in Afghanistan five years earlier, sends Leo Dalton and his team scurrying off to the war-torn region to carry out the postmortem and bring what’s left of the body home to his family.
Within hours, they’re under attack – from both Taliban forces and, seemingly, from private security guards employed to protect the charity-run water project where the remains were found. Another murder and a forensic breakthrough change the investigation and put them all in danger, even though none of them is sure who the enemy is. Concludes tomorrow.
About this programme
9/10. Part one of two. Leo, Nikki and Jack travel to war-torn Afghanistan to identify whether human remains are those of a missing British soldier suspected of being captured by Taliban forces five years earlier. However, they soon discover there is more at stake than identifying a soldier's remains as the crime scene is preventing the completion of a charity-run sanitation plant, putting thousands of lives at risk from contaminated water. William Gaminara, Emilia Fox and David Caves star. Continues tomorrow.
