Anthony’s killer revealed in early EastEnders release

After a warm word from Patrick, Jasmine agrees to join the family at the Chapel of Rest. Once Patrick and the Fox/Truemans have said their goodbyes, Jasmine is left alone with Anthony’s body.

It’s then that she reveals she killed him – sharing a video of Anthony on Christmas Day. It seems that she’d intervened after he knocked Zoe unconscious, and attacked him when he, in turn, came at her.

So Jasmine killed Anthony! No regrets though – as the episode ended, she told her dead dad to “rot in hell” for what he’d done.

Ouch. But what’s Jasmine’s next move? And will she leave her mum to face the music?
