Emmerdale theory teases killer Meena's final court downfall with secret witness

Emmerale viewers saw Meena Jutla again causing havoc on the ITV soap this week, as she attended her plea hearing in court.

Meena was finally charged for her crimes including murder, attempted murder and the rest, as some of the villagers watched on.

But despite pleading guilty to initial crimes, she soon made it clear she wasn't going down without a fight.

Everyone was horrified as she pled not guilty to the murders of her victims, including Andrea Tate, Leanna Cavanagh and Ben Tucker.

While she decided to admit she was responsible for the attempted murder of Leyla Cavanagh, she also pleaded guilty to the kidnapping and attempted murder of her own sister Manpreet Sharma.

But when it came to the rest she took enjoyment out of staring those in the gallery in the face, before declaring her innocence.

The chaos left Manpreet in turmoil and she ended up disappearing after suffering a panic attack, while Leyla and husband Liam were equally as horrified.

Manpreet is now facing taking the stand herself to testify against her sister on trial, but this is something she declared that she can't face doing.

Viewers are now speculating someone else will take to the stand, and an unexpected witness might be called in to prove Meena is linked to the murders.

Meena was charged after her box of trophies, all related to her victims, was found - along with her DNA being traced on the box and all of the items inside it.

Some of them had been taken from the scene of the crime so the police were confident this was enough to prove she was the killer, while Meena instead claimed she had stolen the belongings and not killed the people they belonged to.

So fans are curious as to whether the box will remain enough evidence to send her down for good, or if Meena might somehow escape justice.

But one viewer theory could tease that a surprise witness, also linked to the box, might share their version of events - and might trip up Meena and her claims.

Noah Dingle had found the box months ago, but didn't realise its significance.

He also found the ring Meena kept in the box, which she took off Leanna's hand after murdering her - while again Noah had no idea until later on that it was Leanna's.

So Noah can place both the ring and the box in the possession of Meena, proving it is hers and that she had stolen the items.

Could this finally be referenced again, and will Noah be called to testify against Meena?

One viewer suggested: "Could Noah actually be a potential shock Prosecution witness? Given he can obviously link Meena to Leanna's ring & testify to how beyond desperate she actually was to get it back."
