With Terry O’Duncie in custody for the murders of Julie Ann Collins and Eddie Phillips, Di Bradfield switches his attention to the incriminating tape recordings made by local radio enthusiast Ashley Brennan. He listens to them at Tennison’s prompting, and instantly recognises the voice of one of the speakers as Cliff Bentley. As soon as it dawns on Bradfield that something shady is going on with the Bentley clan, his interest in the Collins case wanes, to the alarm of Sergeant Harris, who angrily warns him not to get sidetracked by his desire for revenge. This follows a visit from Dcs Metcalf (Colin Mace), who, alerted by Harris, comes to urge Bradfield to...

Smith’s representative says likeness to Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down” is “a complete coincidence”
If you thought Sam Smith’s breakthrough single “Stay with Me” sounded a lot like Tom Petty’s 1989 hit single “I Won’t Back Down,” Smith agrees.
According to American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (Ascap) public records, both Petty and his writing partner Jeff Lynne are listed as writers, along with Smith and collaborators William Edward Phillips and James John Napier.

Oklahoma City — Oklahoma prosecutors on Thursday charged a second man with killing a prostitute featured on HBO's "Cathouse series" and three other people.
Denny Edward Phillips faces six counts of first-degree murder for the 2009 shooting deaths of Brooke Phillips, 22, who had worked as a prostitute at the legal brothel Moonlite Bunny Ranch near Carson City, Nev., Milagrous Barrera, 22, Jennifer Ermey, 25, and Casey Mark Barrientos, 32. The two additional murder charges are because Brooke Phillips and Barrera were pregnant.
The victims were found inside a burning home in southwest Oklahoma City. Phillips, who was not related to Brooke Phillips, faces an additional charge of conspiracy to commit murder.
Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater said he plans to seek the death penalty.
"We believe he ordered the hit on Casey Barrientos," Prater told The Associated Press. The others were killed to eliminate witnesses to Barrientos' slaying, the prosecutor said.
