EMMERDALE has filmed some devastating murder scenes for a beloved character after five years on the show.

The shocking development will see serial killer John Sugden take drastic action as details of his other crimes are discovered.

Viewers know John killed Nate Robinson in a shock twist last year.

And he’s gone on to kill his ex-fiancee Aidan shortly after he woke up from a coma.

Fans also watched recently as he framed patient Owen for Nate’s murder – before killing him too.

But now The Sun can reveal that John will strike again in an attempt to hide his long list of crimes as Mackenzie Boyd discovers the truth about him.

A source said: “The scenes are going to be really harrowing for fans to watch.

“Mackenzie has been in so many scrapes and dangerous positions but this time it looks like he’s bitten off more than he can chew.

“Viewers will be on the edges of their seats watching what happens.”

The scenes are set to air later this year after Mackenzie makes a chilling discovery about John.

Mackenzie actor Lawrence Robb has filmed the heartbreaking death scenes for his character.

The insider added: “There are huge twists and turns coming throughout this storyline and it’s going to run for months and months.
