The case becomes a murder investigation when forensics discover blood, but without substantial evidence, the case goes cold. The Newalls are declared dead and the brothers leave the island, claiming the nearly £1million inheritance. Mark thrives in finance but Rod is consumed by guilt while travelling. Rod returns in 1992 and the police covertly record his murder confession. Rod leaves partway, outmanoeuvring the police in a motorway chase but is later arrested at gun-point in international waters on the HMS Argonaut, beginning a long extradition process in Gibraltar. Mark is arrested in Paris, but continues to manipulate Rod and the legal proceedings. Corruption, bribery and escape attempts lead the prosecutors to agree a secret deal with the defence. Rod pleads guilty to double murder and reveals the bodies whilst Mark pleads guilty only to aiding and abetting. Rod serves 12 years, Mark just 20 months.
