John Sugden is no more in Emmerdale after sister Victoria killed him<\/a> and tried to cover up the murder. She is still hoping to keep it between her Robert and Aaron, but Joe Tate has other ideas.<\/p>

<\/div><\/div>\n

As she told the story of exactly how her half-brother died, it became clear once again that it wasn\u2019t cold-blooded murder, but self-defence. So why on earth would she cover it up?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the first time in Soapland this has happened. In fact, there have been multiple occasions where similar has happened \u2013 most recently April killing Callum<\/a> when he tried to rape her (although he\u2019s actually not dead, but she thinks he is and thinks it was covered up).<\/p>\n

Why don\u2019t peope just tell the truth in Soaps?!<\/p>

Victoria confessed to John Sugden\u2019s murder and cover-up<\/h2>\n

As the police started asking questions last night (Tuesday January 6) it was revealed John\u2019s body had been found. Although that now means nothing in Soapland (just ask Graham Foster<\/a>) at this point we are as certain as we can be that John is dead.<\/p>
