Nate's killer named as unexpected Emmerdale character
Nate Robinson's (Jurell Carter) killer is about to be unmasked – and it's not John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth). Well, it is John, as well we know, but he's not the one who gets named by the police. John had previously made the allegation that Owen – the man who drugged Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) – had confessed to killing the farm hand. But while outwardly John is an upstanding member of the community, this still wasn't enough to get Owen to take the blame. When Liam (Jonny McPherson) makes a house call to Owen, he's worried when he doesn't get a response. He calls the police, who make the shocking discovery that Owen is dead, and there's a confession to murder on his laptop. Now that's enough to assign blame. DS Walsh relays this to Cain (Jeff Hordley) and Tracy (Amy Walsh) – for all intents and purposes, they have their killer. More Trending They both struggle with this development, and John's performance is Oscar-worthy when he is also told. When Robert gets wind of it, he's at first shaken by his close brush with a murderer but then becomes concerned when he sees DC Cole at the surgery trying to get information on Owen's medical history. Claudette lets slip to Robert that John was at Owen's house right before he died and the puzzle pieces are starting to fit together. Robert makes a huge step in his war against John – he arranges to meet with Owen's brother who divulges that Owen had an iron-cast alibi for the day Nate died. View More » Robert knows he has struck gold and legs it straight to the police station. Is justice about to catch up with John?
