Emmerdale: Did Cain kill Al?

In last night’s Emmerdale episode Cain discovered Chas’s secret phone and found messages proving she had been having an affair.

When he rang the unknown number, he realised it was Al who Chas had been cheating on Paddy with.

Cain tricked Al into meeting and confronted him with a shotgun.

However he put the gun to the side and prepared to fight him.

As the two men began hitting each other, they both reached for the gun.

Outside the barn a gunshot could be heard.

In tonight’s episode (Tuesday, November 1) it was revealed that Al had been shot and killed.

Meanwhile Kerry and Chloe heard the gunshot.

When Kerry saw Al’s car was parked next to the barn, she went to investigate.

As she walked in, she discovered Cain stood by Al’s dead body.

It looks like Cain has turned killer. But has he killed before?

Emmerdale: Has Cain Dingle killed before?

Jimmy King previously owned the King’s River development, which was being built in 2006.

He was furious when he discovered his ex-wife Sadie was engaged to his brother Matthew.

Matthew and Sadie wanted to destroy Jimmy, and paid Cain to bulldoze the show home at King’s River, causing all sorts of damage.

Jimmy was determined to open the show home on time, despite the problems, so he patched up the damage, intending to have it properly repaired after the launch.

But on the day of the launch in July 2006, Donna Windsor and Dawn Woods went to view the show home.

Jimmy’s dodgy work came back to haunt him when the house exploded.

The explosion killed three people, including Dawn.

Jimmy always blamed himself for Dawn’s death, but could Cain also be to blame?
