Dawn was left waiting in the courtroom for Alex's arrival, but he did not arrive, after Charles discovered Alex had stolen drugs from the pharmacy and that he had lied everyone in the village.

Charles tried to call the police, but Alex fled the village after smashing Charles' phone.

Soon afterwards, Alex stepped out on the road and was hit by a car, with the newcomer appearing to be lifeless.

A third person agreed: "Alex is deffo still alive."
