BBC One - Fugitives, Series 2, Episode 2

Police in London struggle to track down a man wanted in Poland.

Police in London struggle to track down a man wanted in Poland, and the Irish Garda search for a cold-blooded killer who went to extreme lengths to dispose of his victim’s body.

Today, DS Pete Rance and his team from the Met’s extradition unit are once again out on the streets of London in pursuit of a Polish man who has got a prison sentence to serve for a serious drink-driving offence. With two false starts and an abundance of men who look like their fugitive, the team have to hope it is third time lucky.

In Derbyshire, PC Charlie Lewis is also acting on a warrant from Poland. She is looking for a homeless man in Chesterfield who has a two-year prison sentence to serve for a string of previous convictions, including threats to kill, robbery and burglary. A seemingly straightforward job soon turns into a long search.

The devious plan of a penniless lodger leads to murder in Swansea. David Ellis killed his landlord Alec Warburton in order to steal rent money, and fed a web of lies to police and his fellow tenants to cover up the truth. After disposing of the body in a north Wales quarry, the cold-blooded killer returned to the scene of the crime. But with South Wales Police suspicious of his involvement, Ellis fled to Ireland.
