Emmerdale's Robert Sugden goes to the police about his killer brother in Friday's episode (ITV1, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

Robert Sugden's convinced he's made a breakthrough regarding the recent 'confession' to Nate Robinson's murder.

Now, while we all know that John Sugden murdered Nate and is living in plain sight among his grieving loved ones, the killer has done a cover-up job and framed a man called Owen.

Convinced that the confession story just sounds weird, particularly as he himself recently had a brush with Owen and was saved by John who hates Robert's guts, the suspicious Sugden's been digging and struck gold.

Having learned that John was round at Owen's place shortly before he died and that Owen has a water-tight alibi for his movements the day Nate died, Robert is convinced that the confession reeks of foul play on John's behalf, and takes his findings to the police.

Will the detectives listen to Robert? Is the Sugden – who's long thought his brother is an absolute psycho – about to find out he's been right all along?

Will Nate's real killer, John, get hauled in for questioning?
