ohn Sugden revealed where he’d buried Anthony Fox’s body in tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (Wednesday, February 26).
But though the other accomplices in the murder all took him at his word – and Ruby even sobbed over her dad’s makeshift grave – we don’t believe him in the slightest!
Here’s everything we know.

Emmerdale: John Sugden and the Anthony murder club?
In tonight’s episode, Aaron tried to talk his mum Chas out of going to the police about Anthony. He said he couldn’t go to the police without implicating John.
Chas thought she could tell Swirling and his mates just enough to put them off Aaron’s tail.
Aaron was not impressed. He said John was protecting him by not telling him where he had put Anthony’s corpse.
But Chas pointed out that John knew everything Aaron had done while Aaron didn’t know anything. She even questioned how Aaron knew he could trust John.
Aaron, though, said John was only involved because of him.
Later Aaron spoke to John and asked why he hadn’t told him what he’d done with the body.
“Knowing wasn’t in your interest,” John said.
But Aaron said he was being controlling. And then he told him all about what Chas had said. John responded by messaging everyone and asking them to meet him in the woods.
Cain, Caleb, Ruby, Chas and Aaron all obediently trooped into the snowy woods and waited. John said he wanted to ‘keep lines of communication open.’ And he said he wasn’t hiding anything or manipulating anyone.
“The less you know, the less chance of you incriminating yourself,” he said.
Then he revealed that Chas had considered going to the police!
But John said everyone was to blame and that they had to operate as a unit.
“If one falls, we all fall.”
And then he revealed that where they stood was where he’d buried Anthony.
“I’d like to think this proves you can trust me,” he said.
Everyone agreed.
But we did not!
Because John seems massively shifty if you ask us.

John Sugden: Cool, calm and collected. Like a psychopath
He was so calm when Anthony was killed. He swung into action and did what he needed to do without even pausing to think about it.
We know he’s got an army background, but that doesn’t make him a dab hand at hiding bodies. As he himself pointed out in tonight’s episode – it wasn’t an easy thing to do. And yet, he somehow managed to make it look pretty straightforward.
You know who does that? Psychopaths, that’s who.

Is he lying?
I mean, we’re not experts at burying bodies ourselves but we reckon that though it’s pretty obvious in a graveyard situation, in a wood – especially a snowy wood – it’s quite hard to know where a corpse lies.
That’s sort of the point.
So in our opinion, John could have taken his little band of followers anywhere he fancied, pointed to the ground and said ‘that’s it.’
Did he do just that? We think he could be lying…

Did John Sugden kill Nate?
Meanwhile, poor Nate Robinson’s body is festering away in the icy lake.
And his potential killer is out there, looking on as the rescue services dragged the limo from the water, and sending presents to Frankie for her birthday claiming to be from her dad.
Could that killer have been John? He was the last person to see poor Nate alive – at least, the last we know of.
Maybe we’re looking at a serial killer sitch here?

Did John Sugden kill Aidan Moore?
We know John SAID the mysterious Aidan Moore was his best mate who was killed in Afghanistan. Maybe he left out the part when he killed him? Maybe him having his dog tag is a sick souvenir just like Meena Jutla’s first aid tin full of memorabilia she nicked from her victims.
Stranger things have happened in Emmerdale!
