In the second instalment of the three‑part series, forensic evidence ties David Harvey to the killings. However, because the second murder took place while David was imprisoned, the investigation turns its focus onto his brother Michael, who now falls under suspicion.

Brotherly Love – Part Two is the second instalment of a three‑part programme, presented as an episode that continues the story begun in the first part. It sits squarely within the crime‑drama genre, picking up the narrative threads introduced earlier and laying the groundwork for the concluding segment. The format remains that of a single episode, each part building on the last to form a cohesive whole. In this episode the focus turns to forensic analysis, which points unmistakably at David Harvey as the person responsible for the murders. The scientific evidence gathered by investigators creates a direct link between David and the violent acts, establishing his involvement as the central piece of the case. This forensic connection drives the tension of the instalment, as viewers follow the methodical uncovering of clues that tie David to the crimes. A twist emerges because the second murder was carried out while David was already serving time behind bars. His incarceration at the moment of that killing means the timeline cannot accommodate his direct participation, creating a clear inconsistency in the case against him. Consequently, the investigation’s attention shifts to his brother Michael, whose possible role becomes the new centre of suspicion. The episode therefore pivots from a straightforward forensic attribution to a familial enquiry, leaving the audience to contemplate Michael’s potential involvement. As the middle part of the trilogy, this episode ends with the spotlight firmly on Michael, setting the stage for the final instalment to resolve the lingering questions raised by the forensic findings and the brotherly link.
