Peter tries to burn stolen body in Shetland
It’s safe to say many Shetland viewers were confused as DI Ruth Calder (played by Ashley Jensen) continued to try and solve the murder of Ellen Quinn (Maisie Norma Seaton).
On Wednesday’s instalment of the BBC drama, Ruth and Tosh (Alison O’Donnell) were adamant they had found their key suspect in Tom Knox (Dylan Blore).
However, when Ellen’s corpse was stolen from the hospital, Tom had a strong alibi with new evidence showing plummer Peter Ayre (Sandy Grierson) could be linked to her death.
As they headed to his house to speak to him, they discovered Ellen’s hospital tag and saw a fire glowing in the distance outside
Getting closer to him they realised Peter had put Ellen’s body under a pile of sticks and was performing some type of ritual as he chanted by a fire he had created in a symbol.
