Last night, there was another significant development in the penultimate episode of Silent Witness season 25<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jomo Mashaba\u2019s son David and his wife Fiona pledged to reveal the identity of the Big Bad in exchange for protection. Their request was granted and the couple were whisked off to a safe location, accompanied by DS Martine Chalal.<\/p>\n

But they didn\u2019t make it to their final destination.<\/p>\n

***MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD***<\/strong><\/p>\n

Silent Witness season 25 ending explained<\/h2>\n
The trio were involved in a serious collision, in which the detective lost her life. Fiona was also left in a critical condition. David, however, was able to limp away from the wreckage.<\/p>\n
It later emerged that the crash had been planned to ensure that David and Fiona kept their mouths shut about the identity of the puppet master or masters. Initial evidence indicated that the lorry driver had gone into anaphylactic shock while behind the wheel, but further examination revealed that he was a hit-man who had purposefully eaten fish containing a toxin which mimicked a severe allergic reaction, rather than causing one.<\/p>
Before David fled the scene, he stole Chalal\u2019s phone, which he later used to make a call.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe will<\/em> speak to me because if he doesn\u2019t, I\u2019ll talk,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
A short time later, David was killed.<\/p>\n
When Detective Superintendent Ronnie Boyle tracked him down, he found David with a bullet wound to the head. The assassin, who had remained at the scene, then attempted to kill him. But just in the nick of time, Jack Hodgson swooped in and prevented Boyle from meeting a grisly end.<\/p>\n
Despite Jack\u2019s best efforts, the gun-for-hire managed to escape, with the authorities still in the dark about who was responsible for the murders \u2013 that is until they uncovered one particular call made by David before his death.<\/p>\n
