Emmerdale is planning a special flashback week to unmask Ray Walters’s killer<\/a>. Various residents of the village had motives for wanting Ray gone, but who took drastic steps to get rid of the villain?<\/p>\n

Ray’s fate was revealed to viewers in Monday night’s episode<\/a>, as an unknown assailant was seen dragging his body through the village. In a subsequent scene in the Corriedale<\/a> crossover event, it was revealed that Ray’s corpse had been secretly hidden in a van being driven by Jai Sharma.<\/p>\n

Next week, the story steps up a gear as police descend on Caleb Miligan’s depot to follow up on the recent drug scandal that engulfed the business.<\/p>\n

Ray’s body is found in the van and the police immediately make Jai their prime suspect<\/a>, causing him to lash out as he starts trying to point the finger elsewhere.<\/p>\n
