So when one resident, Mason Radcliffe, happens to be spotted with this very item, could it prove they are guilty or is it a coincidence? Meanwhile, another two residents, Ed and Ronnie Bailey, are caught out when their car satnav suggests they were near Joel’s home around the time he was likely killed.

However, despite it looking like Mason, Joel’s ex Dee-Dee Bailey’s family or even DS Lisa Swain after she sparked suspicion last week in cryptic scenes, viewers are convinced it’s none of these characters.

Soap watchers think it could be DS Swain’s very own daughter Betsy

Taking to social media to predict who the culprit could be, soap watchers think it could be DS Swain’s very own daughter Betsy, who Joel was targeting before his death especially as incriminating messages between the two were discovered before his death.

One person said: ““I wasn’t scared of him” Betsy have ya killed him? #Corrie”, a different account put: “I don’t think swain would kill Joel. I am going down a different path and sayin betsy as hurt her #Corrie” while another soap watcher added: “I’m wondering if Betsy has anything to do with it?”
