Years before they told social services that his dad had been abusing Bobby, and then he took his own life.
It turns out it was his mum who had been the one responsible for the abuse.
In the end it was revealed that Bobby had enlisted his brother to do the killings – this turned out to be DJ, the plumber who had been employed by Joe to fix the family’s boiler.
Bobby’s brother carried out the murders as he felt guilty for never helping Bobby as a child.
DJ has been hanging around Joe’s house since episode one, as he was “fixing the boiler”.
