When D.I. Rachita Ray, a British-Asian policewoman new to homicide is assigned to investigate the suspected honor killing of a young Muslim man, she quickly realizes the suspects can't be guilty. The evidence against the two brothers from a British Hindu family is flimsy at best. Her attempts at conveying this to her superiors and her colleagues fall on deaf ears, hidden biases and a keenness to wrap the case up mean no one is listening to her.
That is until her probing leads the team to a much more sinister crime. In this four-part drama, D.I. Ray goes on a journey that sees her uncover a complex web of deceit within herself that she's spent a lifetime ignoring. Wounds that are born from a desperate desire to "fit in," despite not looking the part.
Episode 1 – D.I. Rachita Ray is promoted to Homicide but realizes instantly she is there to "tick a box" and that the so-called "culturally specific homicide" she is assigned to, is anything but.
Episode 2 – D.I. Ray and the team race to track down Anjuli Kapoor, making more than one grim discovery in the process. This is no honor crime.
Episode 3 – The body count continues to rise as D.I. Ray and the team uncover more evidence suggesting they are dealing with highly dangerous organized criminals.
Episode 4 – D.I. Ray makes a shocking discovery which has a huge impact on both her investigation and her personal life.
Follow along as the case unfolds in "D.I. Ray," premiering at 9:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 9 on Panhandle PBS.
