Gordon Mathers

DI Gordon Mathers was the detective who investigated the stabbing of Jacob Gallagher in January 2023. Mathers arrived at Hotten General Hospital after being contacted by the hospital after Jacob was admitted to hospital after being stabbed by drug dealer Callum Matthews. Whilst Jacob was in surgery, Mathers questioned David Metcalfe and Leyla Cavanagh, whom lied when asked if they knew who was responsible for the stabbing, to hide the fact that Jacob confronted Callum with a knife after he sold Leyla drugs.
A few days later, Mathers interviewed Jacob, who lied that he was out walking when someone attacked him with a knife, but couldn't recognise him because his face was covered. Mathers struggled to believe Jacob's story and suspected that whoever attacked Jacob could've been involved in drugs. In the end, Mathers accepted Jacob's story, and gave him his card to call him if he remembered anything else before leaving.
