Emmerdale viewers believe they know who killed Al Chapman, and it could mean a sinister twist for 10-year-old Kyle Winchester.
Cain Dingle was arrested this week for the crime, after appearing to shoot dead Al in a deadly showdown - following the discovery of Al's affair with Cain's sister Chas Dingle.
In the aftermath, amid theories Cain is covering for someone, viewers have seen Cain facing a life behind bars.
Amid suspicion that someone could be framed for the shooting, some fans are now convinced Cain is protecting someone after his recent behaviour.
When asked by wife Moira Dingle whether he really killed Al, Cain did not answer - while he also told Kerry Wyatt it "wasn't what it looked like" when she found Al dead.
A new prediction has now placed Cain's young son Kyle at the top of the suspect list in a possible twist.
Viewers are convinced that Kyle might have shot Al, despite him seemingly being at home at the time with Moira and his younger brother Isaac.
They say Cain is covering for Kyle and that Kerry, Kyle's grandmother, could end up hiding the truth behind the death of her partner Al if her grandson was revealed to have killed him.
Taking to Twitter with the latest theory, one viewer said: "Kyle, then Kerri will say she didn’t see anything to protect her grandson."
Another agreed: "I wholeheartedly don't believe Aaron killed Al in #emmerdale I think Kyle shot him and cain is protecting his son."
A third added: "In all his time Cain has never killed anyone, remember how he was when he thought he killed Joe? It's all too neat for me! The way he spoke to Kyle afterwards, tells me it was him. There is nobody else Cain would take the fall for."
Meanwhile, one fan predicted: "I think Kyle killed Al, not Cain. You heard it here first!!"
It comes amid other fans guessing Aaron, Chas' son, was the real killer following his exit from the ITV soap.
One fan said: "I reckon it "was Aaron, that shot Al? #Emmerdale"
A second echoed: "#emmerdale Thing is, who shot whom? Has Aaron shot AL? Has Moira shot AL? Has Chas shot AL?"
Another said: "My theory is that Aaron killed al and cain is protecting him, something gets revealed that changes everything in Fridays episode."
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV and ITV Hub, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
