The Killing

Category: News Release

TX: May

The intense, atmospheric hit US thriller The Killing returns to Channel 4 with Sarah Linden reeling from the devastating news that vital evidence in the Larsen investigation has been tampered with.

She thought she had solved the most unsettling case of her career. She thought the photo of Darren Richmond on Desolation Bridge on the night of Rosie's murder (and in the car where her body was found) was conclusive proof of his guilt.

But when she discovers that the photo has been doctored - by Holder no less, Linden abandons her plans to move to California and goes straight to Lt Oakes; who seems reluctant to take this information to the district attorney.

As she begins compiling evidence to prove that the photo was faked, the notoriously intense detective immediately encounters resistance and a hasty cover-up. Holder clearly isn't a rogue cop acting alone and Sarah realises that she's on her own. If critically injured Richmond was set up, who did kill Rosie Larsen?
