At the end of Silent Witness\u2019<\/a>s season 25 premiere, a new face was thrown into the mix: Tom Faulker.<\/p>\n

His DNA and a partial fingerprint were found on a cartridge case located in the snipers\u2019 hide, making him the number one suspect for the murder of health secretary Alice Reynolds and the attempted murder of Sam Ryan\u2019s husband and business partner, Jomo Mashaba.<\/p>\n

Tom served as Sam\u2019s unofficial security detail in Stockholm back in 2018 when she was working for the UN. She was asked to carry out the post-mortem on a politician who was murdered by the two assassins involved in this case.<\/p>\n

But Sam is not the only person who shares a link with Tom. He\u2019s also Nikki Alexander\u2019s ex-husband.<\/p>\n
