Emmerdale fans are convinced they know who killed Nate Robinson as a mystery body was pulled from a lake this week, and a hooded figure was seen watching on

Emmerdale viewers believe they’ve cracked the case of who murdered Nate Robinson after a corpse was discovered in a lake this week. The soap seemed to reveal on Friday night that the body belonged to Nate, following Amy Wyatt’s discovery of a clue hinting at her ex’s grim fate.

Tragically, Amy passed away after the limo accident before she could fully disclose what she had seen. She attempted to relay her findings to her husband Matty Barton, but he failed to grasp her message.

Moments later, she died, leaving only Nate’s murderer aware of his actual location and destiny. Hints suggesting the body was Nate included a jacket sleeve identical to the one he last wore and a bracelet crafted by his daughter Frankie.

Since his supposed departure in September, there has been little contact from him. Following a misunderstanding with his father Cain Dingle and partner Tracy Robinson, Nate chose to relocate to Shetland for a new job.

However, every attempt Tracy has made to communicate with him has been rebuffed, with Nate ignoring calls and voicemails and only responding via text. On Friday, a devastated Tracy called her ex, pleading for him to return and confessing that she missed him, reports the Mirror.

She was still reeling from the limo crash and the deaths of Amy, Suzy Merton, and her close friend Leyla Harding.

The baffling scene, with Nate Robinson’s phone going unanswered while the camera chillingly showed his body being weighted down into the depths of a lake, jarred fans as it played out next to the phone call. We caught another glimpse of that telling bracelet-clad arm, seeming to seal Nate’s grim fate.

As the lakeside investigation wound down and the emergency vehicles left, a mysterious hooded figure stayed behind, hinting they knew the grim truth of what befell Nate.

Enthusiasts of the soap are now piecing together the puzzle, suspecting they’ve cracked who is behind Nate’s death and the identity of the hooded watcher. While names like Caleb Miligan, Nate’s uncle, and even Tom King have popped up speculation among fans, John Sugden’s name is buzzing louder than the rest among the fan theories.

John Sugden, last seen with Nate and oddly busy with his van on that fateful day, isn’t a stranger to shady doings – recall he coolly dealt with Anthony Fox’s dead body not long ago. Viewers took to the web to voice their theories, with one exclaiming: “Can’t believe us ‘John Sugden’ serial killer believers on tumblr were right.”

Another viewer concurred: “Reckon Nate was poking about in Johns camper and found something.”

A third chimed in: “I vaguely remember a scene where John was acting weird near his van and had the slide door open but someone appeared and he quickly closed the door as though he was hiding something inside…possibly Nate’s body? “.
