Sydney Royle was the father of Trevor Royle and the husband of Betty Royle. He was an accomplice of Fraser Black, but Fraser betrayed him in November 1992 by pulling out of a job unexpectedly. Whilst being ambushed by Fraser and Ray McCormick on route to the job, Sydney was killed by Fraser. He then had Ray bury his body in the woods, leaving behind Betty and a fifteen year old Trevor. Trevor learned the truth in January 2014.
Notes[]
- There is dialogue of inconsistency when it comes to how Fraser murdered Sydney in the episode airing; Episode 3787 (28th January 2014), Jim McGinn tells Sydney's son, Trevor Royle that Fraser "ambushed and stabbed" Sydney however in the episode; Episode 3824 (20th March 2014), Ray McCormick tells Trevor that he was there but did not "pull the trigger" insinuating that Fraser had shot Sydney.
