Her return to screens has caused a major divide amongst viewers but Emmerdale fans now think Meena Jutla will - quite literally - get away with murder in upcoming scenes. The serial killer was seen fro the first time in a couple of weeks during Monday night's trip to the Dales with fans seeing her behind bars and awaiting trial following a plea hearing last month which saw her plead not guilty to the murders of Ben Tucker, Andrea Tate and Leanna Cavanagh.
Viewers of the ITV soap saw her being visited by her defence barrister just as she was partaking in a few morning stretches. She arrived to her cell to update her on how their case was building and said it was her job to get a not guilty verdict from the jury for Meena, and ultimately set her free.

And with it still unclear as to whether Meena's sister Manpreet Sharma will take to the stand to testify against her, Meena and Milligan started plotting, with the former nurse telling her representative that she could share stories on Manpreet that'll make people's 'blood run cold' and Milligan was soon confirming to her client that she'll write bad character evidence for Manpreet.
But fans of the ITV soap were soon made aware that Manpreet had a change of heart and would take to the stand to testify against her sister. In order to prepare, she enlisted the help of Ethan to act out the scenario she'll soon find herself in after she suffered a panic attack and ran away during Meena's initial hearing.
"This isn't going to be easy. I'm going to have to say some really difficult things," Ethan warned her and while she initially agreed to it being fine, Manpreet soon called an end to their practice trial session as Ethan, posing as the defence team, called her a "calculated" liar for living under a false identity, triggering feelings that go back years between the pair.
After airing it out, the pair headed to the pub and Manpreet told Ethan to keep things just between them. However, Ethan couldn't hide his concern and told his dad Charles: "All it would take was a few hard questions and I'm afraid she would break down on the stand. Believe me, all that will do is play right into Meena's hands."
And Emmerdale fans think this could be the thing that sees Meena walk away from prison a free woman but not only that, they think the tables could be turned in a major plot twist.

"Manpreet is either gonna fall to bits in court or not even show and Meena's gonna go scot free #Emmerdale," @CarlyB25958602 said.
@RT24Luck commented: "One question from Ethan is all it took for Manpreet to break down... I'd say Meena's chances are looking good! #Emmerdale."
While @deanobeanos added: "Plot twist manpreet has been in cahoots with Meena #emmerdale."
