Vikesh Dasari

DI Vikesh Dasari investigated the murder of Tom King. On 25th December 2006, Tom was pushed out of a second storey window of Home Farm, on the day of his wedding to Rosemary Sinclair. Tom's son Jimmy told Dasari that he saw Bob Hope climb down the drainpipe following Tom's murder, and Bob said that he was only at the wedding to pass on a message to his step-daughter Donna Windsor-Dingle. However, Bob confessed to the murder, leaving everyone stunned. However, Bob was freed when his son Jamie changed his story, and Jamie ultimately became the prime suspect.
In January 2007, Rosemary reported Chas Dingle to the police when Chas told her that she's glad Tom is dead. Chas is questioned and becomes a prime suspect. Diane Sugden was questioned by police, but she lied in her statement. The police soon discovered belongings missing from Home Farm, and ended up finding them inside the pig hut at Wishing Well Cottage. Chas and Eli Dingle were subsequently arrested, Chas for assaulting Rosemary and Eli for handling stolen goods. When one of the stolen items turned out to be the murder weapon, the pair were both arrested for murder.
Terry Woods eventually returned to the village and the police questioned him, suspicious over his confrontation with Tom prior to his death, and the fact he fled shortly after the murder took place. However, the murder weapon was found at the King's landfill site and they ended up becoming the prime suspects. Dasari attended Tom's funeral in February 2007 with DCI Barraclough, and they kept a watchful eye on the mourners.
In March 2007, the officers questioned Rosemary and became suspicious when Rosemary became rattled when they asked how her first husband died. However, Rosemary's son Grayson discovered that Matthew King forced Grayson's wife Perdy into telling the police about Raymond, and as a result, the King brothers were arrested. Kelly Windsor gave them a false alibi and they were released without charge. The Kings were arrested again when Kelly crumbled and admitted she gave the brothers a false alibi and was charged with perverting the course of justice.
Barraclough began to suspect Carl and enters a relationship with him. In September 2007, when Charles Vaughan gave them 48 hours to catch the killer, Grace manageed to get a confession from Carl. However, as she was about to take him to the station to confess, she was struck by a lorry and is killed. Barraclough didn't tell Dasari that Carl was the killer before her death, and Carl was able to get away with the murder.
