Killer Meena Jutla comes up with a cruel idea for grieving dad Liam Cavanagh in Monday's episode of Emmerdale (ITV, 7.00pm see our TV Guide for listings).

Having killed teenager Leanna Cavanagh (Mimi Slinger) on her 18th birthday, murderer Meena Jutla (Paige Sandhu) is swanning around the village as if butter wouldn't melt.

But she's getting irked by all the attention that her boyfriend David (Matthew Wolfenden) is giving his ex, Leyla (Roxy Shahidi), who's in bits for her husband Liam (Jonny McPherson).

With Liam having gone missing in the wake of his daughter's shock death, Leyla's terrified about what's become of him. Frustrated at not being the centre of David's attention, Meena resolves to find the doctor himself.

The evil nurse tracks him down to the crematorium and plays the listening ear when Liam talks to her, unaware he's speaking to his daughter's murderer.
