Emmerdale's Charity Dingle gives her account of the night Craig was killed (ITV, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

As Lydia's bid to uncover who killed her rapist Craig continues it's Aaron's turn to take centre stage in the Dingle court.

He loops Vinny into his testimony and when the Dingles press Chas' volatile son for info, he snaps.

Aaron

Aaron has been nothing but aggressive since he returned to the village. Did he kill Craig? (Image credit: ITV)

Given that Chas' son hasn't exactly been calm and level-headed since he returned to the village, could Craig's crime have given him the ideal excuse to vent his aggression?

Will a flashback reveal that Aaron killed the rapist?

Either way, Aaron's quick to deflect the focus on to Charity who looks decidedly uneasy as she takes the hot seat.

A victim of rape herself, has Charity taken the chance to avenge Bails' crime from years ago, killing Craig for his attack on Lydia? 

In a flashback, Charity and Chas are seen discussing Craig… but what happened next? 

What is Charity not telling the family, and why?

Caleb's no stranger to violence and has a lot to prove to the family given all that he put them through when he first arrived in the village. Has Craig's crime given him the chance to show his loyalty to the Dingles? What will his flashback reveal?
