In upcoming Emmerdale scenes, Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) is left worried when a police officer wants to talk about the investigation into his son Nate Robinson's (Jurell Carter) murder. Village mechanic Cain announces to John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) that new evidence has come to light in the murder investigation. A concerned John goes away to process this big development, as viewers will all know he's responsible for Nate's demise.

Meanwhile, Cain and his ex Tracy Metcalfe's (Amy Walsh) grief over their son Nate's death has been re-awakened by the police asking new questions about his untimely death. Later on amid the investigation, Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) discovers a clue, but what has the villager found?

Reports swirled last week that Mack's final scenes had already been filmed for the ITV soap, but bosses have not commented on the claims.

A source told The Sun: "The scenes are going to be really harrowing for fans to watch. Mackenzie has been in so many scrapes and dangerous positions, but this time it looks like he's bitten off more than he can chew.

"Viewers will be on the edges of their seats watching what happens."

The publication alleged these grizzly scenes will air later this year after Mack "makes a chilling discovery about John".

Will John kill the Scotsman in a bid to save his own skin on the Yorkshire-based soap?

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV and ITVX.
