Tracy bars Cain from Nate’s funeral in Emmerdale spoilers

Accusations have been flying all over the place since Nate’s dead body was discovered at the bottom of the lake. Tracy has got it into her head that Cain is the killer because he failed to tell the police that he attacked Nate the day he disappeared. Cain was questioned down at the police station, but let go because there wasn’t sufficient evidence to charge him.

In turn, Cain suspects that Tracy knows more about Nate’s death than she’s letting on. He publicly accused her of murder, which didn’t go down well!

The true killer John, then tried to frame Tracy by planting Nate’s phone in her home. His plan wasn’t entirely successful, so now the police are no further on in their investigation. However, the toxic atmosphere between Tracy and the Dingles remains.

As Tracy starts to make preparations for Nate’s funeral, Belle overhears and asks if she’ll allow Cain to come. But the answer is no – Tracy doesn’t want her enemy anywhere near the event.
