'Emmerdale': Chas blamed for Carl's murder - spoiler pictures

While Chas Dingle is forced to face the consequences of her affair on Emmerdale next week, this soon becomes the least of her worries as she is charged with murder.

Chas (Lucy Pargeter) is convinced that she is responsible for the untimely end of Carl King following their violent showdown in the soap's live episode, completely unaware that it was actually Cameron Murray who finished off the job by attacking him with a brick.

Unwilling to let prime suspect Jimmy King get the blame for his brother's grisly death, Chas tells the police that she was the one who killed Carl.

When Chas is arrested and quizzed, she makes it clear that she acted in self-defence as Carl was trying to rape her. However, as the truth comes out about Carl's blackmail, the detectives soon decide that this was no accident.







Following two days of intense questioning, Chas eventually hears that she'll be charged with Carl's murder - and she is devastated that her honest account hasn't been believed.

The situation gets even worse for Chas when she heads to court and hears that she'll be remanded in custody until the trial takes place.

With few allies left after everything she's done, is there any hope left for Chas?


Emmerdale airs these scenes all next week on ITV1.
