Emmerdale has confirmed the first arrest after Anthony Fox’s death.

The ITV soap previously revealed Anthony had sexually abused his daughter Ruby Fox-Milligan as a teenager, with his list of enemies in the village ever growing.

And he soon got his comeuppance when he was murdered in the depot – and a whodunnit storyline followed.

Aaron Dingle brutally attacked Anthony after his abuse was uncovered, with the revelation bringing up dark memories for Aaron of his own father.

After leaving him close to death in the depot, Aaron returned with his boyfriend John Sugden to discover him already dead.

They disposed of the body, but Aaron has been left wracked with guilt believing he was behind the slaying – until Ruby revealed she was the killer.

After Anthony was found, six people in the village have been involved in keeping his death under wraps – Ruby, Aaron, John, Cain Dingle, Chas Dingle, and Caleb Miligan.

Their luck is about to run out, however, when Cain is arrested in connection to Anthony’s disappearance, leaving Steph Miligan outraged.
