Coronation Street fans 'solve' who sabotaged Imran's car - and it's 'not Toyah or Kevin'

Coronation Street viewers have predicted a brutal murder twist following the death of Imran Habeeb on the ITV soap.

Corrie fans witnessed Imran die of a cardiac arrest following a car accident in Wednesday's episode.

Questions will be raised about the cause of the crash, with both Kevin Webster and Abi Franklin under suspicion - amid fans suspecting Imran's wife Toyah deliberately caused the crash.

It's not actually clear what happened yet or why, with a flashback on Friday night set to reveal all.

The truth about the crash and who caused it will be exposed in this episode, but some viewers have already made their minds up.

After Imran's death and seeing the fallout, fans have speculated it might be someone other than Kevin, Abi or Toyah who may have tampered with the car.

It's not known for sure if it was tampered with, but the police have noted the brakes were not in use - leading to suspicions they were sabotaged.

Viewers are convinced that recent newcomer Ben was behind this, and may have decided to kill Imran after recent drama.

Ben was hired by Imran to find any dirt on Abi, so that he could get full custody of their baby son Alfie.

Things took a turn though when Imran allowed Ben to set up Abi with fake evidence to make it seem as though she was back on drugs, and he lied in court.

Earlier in the week, Imran finally felt guilty for what he'd done and left a voicemail message for Toyah that she seemingly didn't hear, where he pretty much confirmed what he'd done.

So it seemed he was calling an end to his legal battle with Abi, after everything he had done with Ben, while exposing what they had both done in court recently.

Now, fans are convinced Ben had been informed of this somehow, and that he knew Imran was likely to expose his deceit so maybe he took revenge and tampered with the car.

Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: "Ben messed with the breaks after hearing Imran drop them both in legal trouble."

Another tweeted: "I think the guy that Imran paid to lie in court sabotaged the car."

A third viewer agreed: "If the car had its brakes cut, I bet it was done by that Ben fella," as a fourth added: "It was definitely Ben who tampered with the car as payback."

The theory was shared by others too, with one tweet reading: "So I have a theory. The person who tampered with the brakes was....Ben (the one who followed Abi)..I could be wrong - I often am...."

This was backed by another comment that asked: "Did Ben cut the breaks may I ask?"
