What Happened At The End of Death in Paradise Season 14? Who Killed Rosa Martinez?
There were a lot of unexpected turns in the thrilling finale of Season 14 of “Death in Paradise” that left the fates of several characters in doubt.
THE MYSTERIOUS MURDER OF ROSA MARTINEZ
Don Gilet plays DI Mervin Wilson, who is about to leave Saint Marie but has to change his plans when he gets involved in a strange murder investigation. The dead body of Rosa Martinez, played by Lily Nichol, is found in a remote beach shack. The situation is even stranger because the shack was locked from the inside, making it a classic “locked room” mystery. To make things even more complicated, Mervin himself turns out to be a suspect, which is the same situation his predecessor, DI Neville Parker, was in.
WHO KILLED ROSA MARTINEZ?
Mervin looks into Rosa’s past because he wants to clear his name and find the truth. He finds out that she was volunteering at a local turtle protection group, which leads the police to her coworkers. The team carefully looks at alibis, motives, and the mysterious clue “4431C,” which leads them to the shocking conclusion that Callum was the real killer. The end of the case not only clears Mervin, but it also shows how dedicated he is to doing what’s right.
Amidst the murder investigation, Commissioner Selwyn Patterson, a character brought to life by Don Warrington since 2011, faces a pivotal moment. Despite being reinstated after the departure of his replacement, Sterling Fox (Trieve Blackwood-Cambridge), Selwyn makes the unexpected choice to step down from his role. He tells his close friend Catherine Bordey (Élizabeth Bourgine) that too much has happened for him to keep going the way he was. Selwyn chooses to go see his daughter Andrina (Genesis Lynea), which leaves his future on the island uncertain and leaves fans guessing about when he might come back.
MARVIN’S PERSONAL JOURNEY AND FAMILY REVELATIONS
The ending also goes into Mervin’s personal life and reveals shocking family secrets. He finds out that his brother Solomon Clarke exists, which gives his character more depth and sets the stage for future plots. This discovery prompts Mervin to reconsider his departure from Saint Marie, as he contemplates building a relationship with his newfound sibling.
LOOKING AHEAD
After the season is over, fans are left with unanswered questions about what will happen to their favorite characters and how the Saint Marie police force works together. The fact that Commissioner Patterson is leaving and that Mervin’s family information has come to light suggest that big changes are coming. Fans can’t wait for the next season to come out to see how these things will play out.
