Emmerdale: Belle told the police the truth
This evening, Belle visited Tom at the hospital after receiving a phone call from him summoning her there.
Tom then told Belle that he wouldn’t tell the police that she was the one to attack him as long as she backtracked on her claims that he’d abused her.
Belle agreed to this and let Tom kiss her before leaving the hospital. The detectives then arrived to speak to Tom, with Tom lying that two men had approached him and then stabbed him with an axe.
Meanwhile, Belle went to the police station and handed the axe in as evidence. She admitted to attacking Tom in self-defence as she was a victim of domestic abuse.
The episode ended with Belle saying: “I’ve attacked my husband, in self defence, he wanted to kill me. I’m a victim of domestic abuse.”
