Gaynor Wringer (New Tricks)

Gaynor Wringer (Jill Baker) is the main villainess from "The Chinese Job," the pilot episode of the BBC series, New Tricks (airdate March 27, 2003). She is the wife of career criminal Roddy Wringer, who was released from a 22 year prison sentence for the murder of Anna-Maria Dubrovski on July 18, 1981.
It was believed that Roddy and Anna were illicit lovers, but it was revealed that Roddy's affair was with Anna's friend and co-worker, Eve Osbourne (later Eve Collard). As for Gaynor, she found out that Roddy was cheating on her, but she believed that Anna was the other woman, as Roddy's dalliances happened at Anna's apartment. On the night in question in 1981, Gaynor entered Anna's apartment and bludgeoned her to death with an ashtray, with Eve finding her friend's body hours later. Roddy ended up arrested and convicted of the murder when his shoes were found covered in Anna's blood.
Roddy's release was due to Ian Lovett's corruption, as it was revealed that he planted the shoes on the murder scene. This was the first case of DSI Sandra Pullman and the Unsolved Crime and Open Case Squad (UCOS), and the investigation's progression revealed that a letter was sent a day after the murder stating that Roddy didn't kill Anna because he was committing a robbery. Gerry Standling, a former Detective Sergeant, stated that the writer was female, and DNA on the stamp confirmed that a woman wrote the letter. Eve ended up suspected of the murder after she disappeared, but after learning that she had attempted suicide, the group interrogated Eve, who revealed that she was Roddy's lover. 
The episode's climax revealed Gaynor as the true villainess, as the squad appeared and arrested Gaynor for the murder, right after Roddy was arrested for a previous murder, as another blood sample connected him to the killing committed in 1980. In response to the arrest, the evil Gaynor denied killing Anna, only for Jack Halford to reveal that it was Gaynor's DNA on the letter, while also adding that Eve was Roddy's mistress, meaning that she killed the wrong girl. An angry Roddy attacked Gaynor, leading to a brawl that was followed by both halves of the couple being taken into custody.
