Shanes Murder

From the start of December 2008 the most dramatic and exciting storyline yet for Debbie began which would continue well into 2009.

Debbie's best friend Jasmine had been dating local copper Shane Doyle in the hope of getting some inside information about the local criminally-involved family the McFarlanes. It was soon revealed that Shane; already known not to be the most law abiding bobby was in league with the McFarlanes.

Jasmine was getting involved in somthing far bigger and more dangerous than she first thought. Shane discovered that she knew what he was up to and after a massive fight he tried to rape her. His attack was quickly stopped as Debbie rushed in, grabbed a chair and smashed it over his head knocking him out, but while the girls' backs were turned he woke up and started attacking Debbie. In a fit of rage Jasmine grabbed a broken chair leg and smashed him over the head repeatedly - killing him.
