EMMERDALE fans think they know who killed Craig Reed, and they don't believe it was one of the Dingles.

The rapist was found dead on the Home Farm estate where Lydia works in recent scenes, after she opened up about his vile attack.

Lydia struggled alone for weeks after being assaulted by her childhood sweetheart.

He continued to taunt her and turn up to her family home in an effort to threaten her into silence.

When the mum finally broke down and told her family and friends about the rape, it was clear that her husband Sam wanted revenge.

He attempted to punish Craig for his crimes by ganging up with Cain Dingle to kidnap and threaten the man in a remote barn.

Once Craig's body was found Sam was one of Lydia's prime suspects for the murder, but he promised he had only tied him up and given the man a fright.

As police take over the investigation viewers are convinced that they have spotted the killer – and it's not someone Lydia would suspect.

Viewers noticed Craig's receptionist seemed afraid of him before she quit her job, and have speculated that he may have forced himself on her too.

They think she may have taken the chance to get revenge once he was left weakened by Sam's kidnapping.

One person shared their theory, writing: "I think it was Craig's receptionist…and that he assaulted her too."

Another agreed: "It's got to be the PA that walked out. He has obviously assaulted her as well."

A third exclaimed: "I’m saying the secretary has done it. Too obvious to be a Dingle!"

One viewer speculated: "I don't think any of the Dingles in the pub killed Craig in Emmerdale. The main suspects I think are Tom King, always been a bit suspect, and somehow Craig's PA, who resigned her job last week, got involved."

Someone chimed in: "I don’t think it was any of the Dingles, I think it was Craig’s PA Ruth."
