For months they have been trying to protect him but after his own confession to the police, Emmerdale fans will see Kyle Winchester taken away and his dad, Cain Dingle, released from prison. As viewers of the ITV soap know, the 10-year-old was the one responsible for the death of Al Chapman.
Cain, played by Jeff Hordley, took the blame for his son after witnessing the youngster, played by Huey Quinn, accidentally let off a shotgun and kill Al. Initially, fans thought Cain had finally committed the ultimate crime after facing off with Al over his affair with sister Chas.
However, a flashback episode later revealed that it was Kyle who was the one who really shot Al when the panicked youngster caught the pair fighting and feared for his dad. Cain was quick to take the blame for his son but Kyle has since been struggling with keeping his actions a secret.
