Emmerdale fans think they have figured out who killed Nate Robinson, following the shocking discovery of a body in a lake this week. 

The ITV soap seemed to reveal on Friday evening that the body found in the lake was indeed Nate (played by Jurell Carter), after Amy Wyatt spotted a clue that hinted at her ex’s fate. 

Sadly, Amy pᴀssed away after the limo crash and never had a chance to properly tell anyone what she had seen. 

Although she tried to communicate her discovery to husband Matty Barton, he was unable to understand her, and she pᴀssed away moments later. Now, only Nate’s killer knows the truth about his whereabouts and fate.

Clues pointing to the body being Nate included a jacket sleeve that matched the one he was last seen wearing, as well as a bracelet his daughter Frankie had made for him. 

Following a misunderstanding with his father, Cain Dingle, and partner Tracy Robinson, Nate decided to leave for Shetland to take up a new job.

Friday’s instalment of the ITV soap saw Amy Wyatt (Natalie Ann Jamieson) involved in a horrifying limo crash into a lake 

However, Tracy’s attempts to reach him have been unsuccessful, with Nate refusing to answer calls or voicemails and only sending brief text messages. 

On Friday, a grief-stricken Tracy called Nate, begging him to come home and expressing how much she missed him. She was still reeling from the limo crash and the loss of Amy, Suzy Merton, and her close friend Leyla Harding. 

As Tracy’s call went unanswered, the camera panned back to the lake, where the body, now in a body bag, sank to the bottom. 

The arm with the bracelet was again visible, suggesting this was indeed Nate’s body.

Adding to the mystery, a hooded figure was seen watching the lake as investigators left the scene. 

It appears this person knows what happened to Nate and is likely responsible for his death and the disposal of his body. 

Fans are now speculating who the hooded figure might be and who killed Nate. Some have pointed to Caleb Milligan, Nate’s uncle, or even Tom King. However, one name stands out above the rest: John Sugden. 

John, who was the last person to see Nate alive on-screen, has become the primary suspect. 

However, while frantically searching for a way out, Amy turned and spotted another body in the water

Fans then took to X, formerly Twitter, to share that they are convinced John Sugden is Nate’s killer as he was the last person to see him alive

Not only did he tell everyone Nate had left, but he was also acting suspiciously, spending a lot of time near his van around the time Nate disappeared. 

And, given that John had no qualms about disposing of Anthony Fox’s body just weeks ago, some fans believe he may have done the same with Nate. 

Fans have been sharing their theories on social media, with one saying: ‘Can’t believe us ‘John Sugden’ serial killer believers on tumblr were right.’ 

Another fan speculated: ‘Reckon Nate was poking about in Johns camper and found something.’ 

While a third fan said: ‘I vaguely remember a scene where John was acting weird near his van & 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?’
