Frame that suspect, in the end (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aftermath

'the end' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'frame that suspect' is the wordplay.
'suspect' is an anagram indicator.
'frame'+'that'='framethat'
'framethat' with letters rearranged gives 'AFTERMATH'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for aftermath that I've seen before include "Subsequent consequence" , "Second crop" , "Consequence of an event, situation that follows" , "Results, often of something bad" , "Subsequent consequences" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
