Judith Musgrove (Death in Paradise)

Judith Musgrove (Joanna David) is the main villainess in the final episode of Death in Paradise's third season, "Rue Morgue" (airdate March 4, 2014). She was a retired solicitor who was a resident in Saint Marie's retirement home. Judith was in love with another resident in the retirement home, Colin Campbell, though Colin was in a relationship with another resident, retired surgeon Emma Redding, leaving Judith's feelings unrequited.
When Judith found out that Colin was planning to propose to Emma, she was set to kill her romantic rival. The evil Judith tampered Emma's dinner with a lethal amount of sleeping pills before giving it to her, claiming that their carer Sylvaine Dor had mixed up their dishes. When Emma succumbed to the poison, Judith set the scene as suicide and locked the door after breaking the bolt lock, making it appear that no one could've gotten inside the room to kill Emma. Prior to killing Emma, Judith suggested to Emma that she look over her will so she could later use this to further stage Emma's death as a suicide, claiming Emma was the one that suggested she looked at the will and appeared nervous while she did so.
However, in the reveal of Emma's murderer, DCI Humphrey Goodman determined Judith as the killer, exposing her after gathering Judith and the rest of the retirement home together. Emma had been in the midst of a video call with her son when Judith came in to give her the poisoned meal, with Emma's son identifying Judith sealing Judith's villainous reveal. After Humphrey revealed that Judith had been motivated to kill Emma out of her love for Colin and jealousy towards Emma, Judith broke down in tears before being placed under arrest.
