Emmerdale Anthony Fox’s real killer exposed – and it’s ‘not Ruby or Aaron’
Emmerdale fans recently learned Ruby Miligan killed her dad Anthony Fox after Aaron Dingle initially thought it was his crime, but now fans think someone else is to blame
After a new murder twist on Emmerdale, fans are rethinking what may have happened to Anthony Fox on the ITV soap.
Despite Ruby Miligan outing herself as her father’s killer after Aaron Dingle struggled to cope, having believed himself to be the killer, a recent scene has left fans convinced neither of them are the true culprit. Anthony was murdered in a whodunnit weeks ago, with Aaron beating him up in a deadly showdown.
When Aaron returned with partner John Sugden, Aaron was gobsmacked to realise Anthony was dead and that he might have killed him. John took control of the situation and disposed of the body, since refusing to tell anyone where it is.
But it turned out Aaron had not killed Anthony and so John cleaned up someone else’s mess. As a guilty Aaron confessed all to Ruby about murdering her dad she soon told him the truth, that he did not kill him and she did.
She explained she had gone to see him and found him beaten. Rage took over after he grabbed her and she killed him before fleeing the scene.
She told her husband Caleb Miligan who went to clear up her mess only to see Aaron and John were already there. John got rid of the body and the group, along with Aaron’s mother Chas and uncle Cain, have vowed to keep quiet.

But there’s a new murder twist soon to be exposed, and now fans are linking it to Anthony’s demise. A body was spotted in the lake by Amy Wyatt recently after the limo crash, with her falling through the ice.
Amy spotted a corpse and was left horrified when she realised it was likely Nate Robinson’s body, due to some clues on the arm. Sadly Amy died before she could reveal what she saw, and Nate’s fate remains unknown.
But with fans convinced John could be his killer as he was the last person to see him alive onscreen, as far as we know, there’s a new theory that Ruby might not actually have killed Anthony. When Aaron and John found Anthony dead, John told his partner to leave the room while he cleaned up.
John was shown wrapping up the body preparing to get rid of it and he made it clear he wanted Aaron to be out of the room, not wanting him to see anything. A new theory from fans is that Anthony wasn’t actually dead, and perhaps John killed him.
Perhaps Anthony was actually still breathing, and John might have feared Aaron would be in big trouble – not knowing at this point that Ruby had just been there and attacked him. One theory read online: “Ruby’s dad wasn’t actually dead when she left him and John finished him off,” and a viewer replied: “Did think that at the time.”
