Emmerdale fans convinced they’ve solved brutal Debbie Dingle death twist as serial killer Meena Jutla escapes

SERIAL killer Meena Jutla escaped justice once again after it seemed she was finally going to get caught.

In Thursday’s (January 13, 2022) instalment of Emmerdale, the evil nurse fled to Scotland which is where Debbie Dingle lives… leaving fans to predict a dark twist.

After killing Leanna Cavanagh, Andrea Tate, Ben Tucker and her former best friend Nadine Butler (but also taking advantage of a drunk Liam Cavanagh following a Christmas party), Meena had tried to cover up her tracks by keeping sister Manpreet Sharma and Vinny Dingle hostage.

She also tried to lure in Billy Fletcher into her trap after he was made aware she had been lying about her pregnancy and miscarriage.

And while Liam (portrayed by Johnny MacPherson) seemed to be closing in on her, ITV viewers were eager to see the serial killer FINALLY get her comeuppance when the GP saved Manpreet and Vinny from an impending and horrifying death.

But fans of the long-running drama were shocked when the character writhed her way out of the Dales and vanish, despite Emmerdale bosses and actress Paige Sandhu hinting the end was near.

In scenes aired on January 13, 2022, Meena hitched a lift with a lorry driver named Tommy who was on his way to Glasgow.

Now on the run, Meena confessed she liked Scotland and took on her sister’s name.

But her plan has now sparked fear among viewers.

Fans remembered that Debbie Dingle moved away to Scotland with her son and are speculating a sinister twist.

Some viewers swarmed over to Twitter and theorised that Debbie could be on the killer’s hit list, especially after actress Charley Webb announced her permanent departure from Emmerdale after 19 years on the air.

“Maybe Meena is going to kill Debbie and that’s how she’s permanently leaving”, one viewer wrote.

A second went on, adding Debbie’s father Cain (Jeff Hordley) to the death twist: “Isn’t Debbie in Scotland…as Debbie is leaving will they kill her off? Cain goes up and gets his revenge…Meena comes back…and so it starts again.”

A third joined in: “Next stop Glasgow, where Meena will somehow find and murder Debbie Dingle.”

Following her departure, which has frustrated Emmerdale viewers who were eager for the plotline to end, one question remains: have we really seen the last of Meena Jutla?
