Why weren't they re-arrested?


When the Indian detective bloke came back to the hotel as they were leaving and basically said there was clearly more to Zac's death than merely self-defense, why didn't they re-arrest them, certainly Gemma and her boyfriend (forgot his name).

That to me just seems unrealistic.

They coulddnt prove it, and it would probably just be Esthers words against Gemma and Steve.

No, the detective didn't say there was more to the death. He said someone has told a little lie and left it to Esther to see it for herself. Even if he suspected, there was nothing to prove. It's all circumstantial. In the eyes of the Law, Zac is the murderer of Coral and Steve killed Zac in self-defence. Case closed.

What *I* don't get is why did Esther let Gemma get away with the murder of Coral? The police eventually believed it was Zac, but Gemma practically confessed to Esther it was her all along. Like, we didn't see that coming(!) Nice one, Esther - letting a murder victim take the rap and leaving the real murderer to go on to get married and have a jail-free life in England.
