The teen has recently found herself in the frame for the solicitor’s murder but not by the police

Coronation Street fans think they have ‘rumbled’ Joel Deering’s killer – and it’s not Lauren Bolton. The teen has recently found herself in the frame for the solicitor’s murder but not by the police.

Lauren and her boyfriend Max Turner were featured in a flashback lead my Carla Connor during Monday night’s (November 11) trip to Weatherfield. As fans know, the ITV soap has building up its very won suspects wall after Joel’s body was found floating down a river last month.

Joel first went missing at the end of September. The news was revealed when he failed to show up to court where it was thought that he’d face comeuppance for some of his twisted crimes.

But after transferring money to Lauren Bolton, his grooming victim and now the mother of his son Frankie, and his ex-wife Emily, as well leaving an emotional voicemail for his former fiancée Dee-Dee Bailey, it was believed Joel may have taken his own life after his car was found abandoned.

Not long afterwards, the case became a murder investigation after Joel’s body was found floating down a river. However, it was confirmed he’d been killed with a heavy weapon before entering the water and several people have since been put in the frame.

Joel’s wronged ex Dee-Dee Bailey, her dad Ed and uncle Ronnie are all on the suspects list. Bad boy Mason Radcliffe also found himself in the frame along with DS Lisa Swain, who was removed from the case after Joel’s involvement with her daughter Betsy was revealed, and the detective investigating the mystery himself DC Kit Green.

But during the latest visit to Weatherfield, viewers saw Lisa arrested by Kit and was questioned at the station after her CS spray was found alongside a bloodied brick thought to be the new murder weapon. With all the evidence now pointing in her direction, a panicked Carla pleaded Lisa’s case to Roy Cropper.

Ed was also in the café at the time and claimed there was more to come to light after Dee-Dee, who confessed to hitting Joel with a crowbar but left him alive, had said she’d confronted Joel after seeing him with a suitcase in tow attempting to do a runner after initially faking his own death.

But during another revealing flashback viewers saw Carla leaving the factory on the night Joel disappeared. At first viewers thought she herself may have something to hide but as she called out to someone, viewers were shocked this time to see for the first time that it was Max and Lauren outside No.8 Coronation Street in the dead of night putting a suitcase into the boot of David Platt’s car.

However, earlier in the episode, Lauren was seen at the hospital with her and Joel’s son Frankie as she awaited him being released after several weeks in the Neonatal Unit. And as she hasn’t been seen for a while, Corrie fans were surprise to see Max’s ex-girlfriend Sabrina make a reappearance.

It’s left them wondering if she is behind Joel’s death – despite her not being named in the suspect line-up – after she was warned by Betsy Swain earlier this year to stay away from the dodgy legal expert.

@LunaLocoJewels asked: “Is sabrina the killer? #corrie.” @ExtraUKTV posted: “#Corrie Sabrina might have killed Joel.” @spartacus2963 shared: “Now just waiting for Sabrina’s flashback…!#corrie.” But @swoosh286 added: “I’ve said it was Lauren from the get go, she had the most to gain from Joel’s death; she either did it alone or with Sabrina’s help and Max has helped her cover her tracks. #corrie.”
