British soaps including Emmerdale, EastEnders, Coronation Street and Hollyoaks love to air shock whodunnit storylines, with a gruesome murder often setting the scene for one of the biggest plots of the year.
Over the years, some of soaps’ much-loved characters have even gotten away with murder, whether they pass the blame onto another character or simply pull off a convincing alibi.
While several soap favourites have faced justice of some sort for the murders they have committed, including EastEnders' Bobby Beale and Ben Mitchell, and Hollyoaks' Ella Richardson, others are still hiding their killer secrets.
