Perri Hayes (played by Cantona Stewart) stands accused of murdering his abusive dad, Carl, on Home and Away (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

Carl drowned in the backyard pool at the Parata house after teenager Perri acted in self-defence when his dad attacked him.

Just as the trial is about to begin, Perri considers going on run, knowing he could soon be sent to prison...

However, Perri's temporary guardian, Tane Parata (Ethan Browne), manages to convince the terrified lad to stay and fight and clear his name.

Tane and local copper Rose Delaney (Kirsty Marillier) take to the stand to testify during the trial.

But Tane loses his cool in the witness box and suddenly things are looking a LOT worse for Perri.

Just when it looks like the trial is sure to have a terrible outcome, Perri's lawyer, Jane Lazzari (Charlotte Friels), receives a mystery text message and hurries off...

It seems there's a SURPRISE and unexpected witness who could help clear Perri's name...

WHO is it?
