Adam managed to escape from captivity at the abandoned farmhouse where Jane was keeping him, and enlisted the help of two passers-by. KidsCall was how Jane groomed her latest victim, Adam, a young boy living in fear of his sexually abusive father. Jane got the children’s toys she photographed and buried with her victims with from the charity, bought through Vince’s Amazon-alike distribution network. Many of Jane’s victims were discovered through her volunteering role at child advisory phone line KidsCall, owned by Maya Whitman, wife to wealthy entrepreneur Vince Whitman. Because Marcella’s colleague Mark was spying on her through her laptop’s webcam though, he saw Phil with Edward in her home and gave the police an anonymous call, stopping the attack. The stress and press attention led to – Phil thought – his girlfriend’s miscarriage, so to get revenge on Marcella for his child’s death, he held her son Edward hostage and threatened to rape him. When Leo’s corpse was discovered in the wall of Reg’s former flat, Marcella suspected convicted paedophile Phil Dawkins of the murder.

That started Jane on a series of murders, all of them an attempt to stop children – many of whom had suffered abuse – from becoming abusers themselves. Their father had abused them as children, and after his death, Joel tried to abuse her. In fact, Jane had caused his injuries in order to – as she saw it – stop a cycle of incestuous sexual abuse by locking the ‘evil’ inside Joel. Joel was thought to have been injured in a car collision in Norway. Jane’s first victim was her brother Joel Lawrence, the paralysed patient being treated by Gail Donovan in a care home. She would then surround their bodies with toys and bury them in symbolic locations around London where she felt that innocence had been abused. Jane used her medical skills as a midwife to sedate her victims and insert wooden tokens decorated with protective symbols into their abdomens, before lobotomising (and thereby killing) them. Jane Colletti was the mother of one of Edward’s schoolfriends and was revealed in the season’s penultimate episode to have abducted and murdered 17 children over several years.

‘Kill one to save many’, Jane Colletti’s serial murders, Joel Lawrence, Leo Priestley and Edward Backlandīefore the Juliette revelation, Marcella very nearly lost her son Edward to season two’s crazed serial killer. The bodies were so badly burned only DNA identification was possible, thereby Marcella was declared legally dead. By great coincidence, that homeless woman was killed in a fire on the very day that Marcella gave ex-husband Jason sole custody of the kids and dropped out of the real world.

(Which she couldn’t submit to the investigation without it being discovered that she’d been present at Grace Gibson’s murder scene). In series one, Marcella had paid a homeless woman for a DNA cheek swab to substitute for her own. Rav gently talked Marcella down from the ledge, and was repaid for his kindness by being knocked unconscious and handcuffed to the precinct toilets while she disguised her identity by cutting her hair and face, and made good her escape.Īfter that, Marcella lived rough for nine days before being recruited into a shadowy undercover police unit after inadvertently faking her own death. Not literally though – the leap off the police station roof teased from the season’s opening minutes didn’t happen.

After discovering through hypnotherapy that she was the one who accidentally killed baby Juliette when trying to quiet her, Marcella hit rock bottom. By the finale, she’d transformed from detective to Batman villain, living under a bridge with a self-scarred face and a bonkers haircut. Over the course of the second season, Marcella lost everything – her kids, her job, her boyfriend, her identity and her ponytail. ‘I did that to my baby’, how Marcella faked her death, her new undercover role
