EMMERDALE killer John Sugden has seemingly targeted his next victim with a chilling threat and it is someone very close to home.

Robert Sugden made yet another comeback to the ITV soap opera from prison today as he enjoyed secret meetings with both his ex-husband Aaron, whom he secretly snogged on his recent wedding day, as well as his long-lost brother, and Aaron’s new husband, John.

Having been beaten up inside the prison, Robert sported a bloodied and bruised face as he pleaded his love to his ex during their chat.

He confessed to Aaron that he believed they should still be together as he revealed that he was ready to right his wrongs.

However, he was stunned to discover that it was Aaron who sent him back to jail after reporting him for violating his probation.

He admitted he did it in order to get Robert away from him as he couldn’t trust himself knowing that he was still around.

With John at home and having worked out that Aaron has snook off to see Robert, he decides to tell Victoria that he will go and visit him himself after Aaron leaves.

As Aaron tells Robert to never contact him again, it’s not long until John arrives to chat to his brother himself.

But ever the wind-up merchant, he soon let slip about his illicit snog with Aaron – leaving John raging.

It did not take long for serial killer John to dish out some menacing threats to Robert.

As Robert joked he was after his life and would get a face transplant in order to convert into him, John saw red.

John said: “You need to be more careful.

“Who is going to protect you when you get out?

“You have no idea what I’m capable of.”

But Robert remained defiant as he quipped back: “I’m coming back.

“And I’m going to make sure that Aaron sees what a messed-up freak you really are.

“See you soon.”

As Robert headed back to his cell, John shot a piercing look his way.

So will John’s own brother be the next innocent person to lose their life at the hands of him?
