Why did Richie kill the police detectives in MobLand Episode 8?

In the escalating feud between the Harrigans and Stevensons, a fresh character enters the scene on MobLand, poised to influence the conflict greatly. This newcomer, portrayed by Toby Jones, is Colin Tattersall – a seasoned detective from Scotland Yard with decades of expertise in navigating London’s criminal underworld. He suggests that Fisk and Mukasa join forces with Richie to take down Pierce Brosnan’s Conrad Harrigan and his kin, as Richie poses the greatest threat to him.

Nevertheless, this guidance unexpectedly sets the stage for something else. Fisk and Mukasa encounter Richie, who appears to concur with their conditions at first. Later on, he queries about who would be controlling whom in this business-like association between them.

The detectives assert their independence from the gang leader, implying they won’t be controlled by him. Trying to diffuse the situation, they suggest it’s not a problem. Unfortunately, Richie kills them both. It’s later uncovered that Tattersall masterminded the whole incident. He’s been on Richie’s payroll for years and acknowledged Richie as his superior in their arrangement, making Richie the boss.

Once Fisk and Mukasa declared their unwillingness to be controlled by Richie, they immediately became thorns in his side. A man like Richie, who often craves control, seldom avoids violence. With Tattersall leading the investigation and essentially commanding Scotland Yard’s operation against the Harrigans, things have unexpectedly shifted in Richie’s advantage, and he will surely exploit this situation to his benefit.
