Crime and Punishment

It's approaching Christmas and Da and Cal have hit on a surefire way to make a bob or two. Their rather dodgy contact, Sean Paul, promises to supply them with 200 turkeys at a bargain price of only one pound each. They plan to flog the birds at £20 each and make a tidy profit. Billy's luck isn't quite so good though: what with Dympna's lengthy Christmas list, mounting debts for his timeshare in Chechnya, and the fact that he's just been burgled! All in all, it looks like it will be a pretty grim Christmas at Orange Terrace. So when Mrs Hawthorne, a elderly neighbour, comes in to complain that her milk is being pinched, Billy isn't exactly too sympathetic... Back at Divis Towers, Da and Cal are delighted to have off loaded all their turkeys to neighbours and friends (not to mention several senior people in Sinn Fein!). Imagine their shock when the turkeys arrvive - complete with feathers and a tendancy to run around!! Mrs Hawthorne asks Billy to accompany her to the bank because she wants to lodge her life savings - £30,000. A matter of hours later, Billy is sitting in the lap of luxury - new furniture, a widescreen TV, and all of Dympna's presents under the tree. When word comes that Mrs Hawthorne has been murdered, suspicion rests on Billy, but is he really the guilty one?
