Maureen Walters (Law & Order: UK)

Maureen Walters (Lorraine Ashbourne) is the main villainess from Law & Order: UK's pilot episode, "Care" (airdate 23 February 2009). She is the landlady at MQW Property LTD., and she was the evil mastermind of a plot to renovate flat (apartment) units for better capital gain. Maureen enlisted her silent partner, Mike Turner, to sabotage the heating unit, which would drive the tenants out of the building due to the gas. The leaking gas caused the death of Sean Farrah, the nine-month-old son of tenant Dionne Farrah.
After Turner's trial was aborted, he and Maureen are brought in under Steel's direction, hoping to make a deal. During the meeting however, the evil Maureen callously claimed that she had nothing to do with Sean's death, and continued to berated Steel and threatened to sue for slander before leaving with her attorney. Following this, however, Alesha Phillips revealed Maureen's shady past: she had 49 complaints against her during the 15 months that Turner was in jail, but they were dropped once Turner was released. Maureen had another 27 complaints after Charlie Dias took over as heat inspector, but they were all resolved due to the villainess bribing Dias and other inspectors.
Brooks and Devlin caught Dias in a sting where Brooks posed as the person offering a bribe, which Dias later solicits. Devlin arrests Dias, who names Maureen and Turner among those who bribed him. Maureen was arrested for 16 counts of bribing an official, as well as manslaughter with gross negligence in Sean's death. Turner flipped on Maureen for a reduced sentence, and at her trial, Maureen is convicted of all charges against her.
