Lambs To The Slaughter is the sixth episode of the first series of The Bill spin off Murder Investigation Team.
When convicted child sex offender Dominic Moreton is bludgeoned to death in his own home, it looks like the work of vigilantes. The team's most promising lead in the enquiry is a phone call that the victim made to a possible associate, Peter Taylor. Dominic had been calling Peter on a regular basis, so when they search his house and find photos of Dominic with Peter's wife, it throws up all manner of questions. Soon they discover that Dominic and Peter are the same person – Peter was an undercover SO10 officer – and that he recorded his own murder on his wife's answer machine. Friend realises that if they can decipher the background noise on the tape, they might be able to discover what really happened to Peter.
