Emmerdale’s latest murder twist has fans re-evaluating the fate of Anthony Fox on the ITV soap. Despite Ruby Miligan confessing to being her father’s killer, leaving Aaron Dingle relieved as he believed he was the murderer, a recent scene has viewers questioning if either of them are the real culprits. Anthony met his end in a classic whodunnit scenario weeks ago, following a fatal confrontation with Aaron.When Aaron returned to the scene with his partner John Sugden, he was shocked to find Anthony dead and feared he might be responsible. John took charge, disposing of the body and keeping its location a secret.

However, it transpired that Aaron wasn’t Anthony’s killer, meaning John had cleaned up after someone else. As Aaron confessed to Ruby about killing her father, she revealed the truth – she was the one who killed him. She detailed how she found him beaten and in a fit of rage, killed him after he grabbed her, before fleeing the scene. She confided in her husband Caleb Miligan, who arrived to clean up only to find Aaron and John already there, reports the Mirror. John disposed of the body and the group, including Aaron’s mother Chas and uncle Cain, have sworn to silence. But a new murder twist is set to unravel, leading fans to connect it to Anthony’s death.

Before her tragic death, Amy Wyatt encountered a body in the lake following the limo crash, after she fell through the ice. She realised it was likely Nate Robinson’s body, however sadly she died before she could reveal what she saw. The rumour mill is abuzz with whispers that John may be the prime suspect, considering he was the last character shown with Nate. But another theory gaining traction offers a twist on Ruby’s supposed role in Anthony’s death. As Aaron and John stumbled upon Anthony’s lifeless body, John promptly asked Aaron to step out while he tidied up the scene; what caught the attention of eagle-eyed viewers was how particular he was about keeping Aaron away.

Speculation on social media hints that Anthony may not have been dead after all. Instead of wrapping up a corpse, might John have taken matters into his own hands? A possible scenario is that Anthony was clinging to life when John, worried that Aaron’s involvement would bring trouble, decided to put an end to it – perhaps unwittingly shielding Ruby, who, unbeknownst to John at the time, had previously attacked Anthony. One viewer speculated: “Ruby’s dad wasn’t actually dead when she left him and John finished him off.” Another viewer mused: “Did think that at the time.”
