Ben’s Shocking Admission About Owen

In upcoming Emmerdale episodes, removal man Ben makes a jaw-dropping admission to the police about Nate Robinson’s presumed killer, Owen. As the investigation into Nate’s murder deepens, Ben’s unexpected involvement in the case adds more confusion and intrigue for fans.

Ben, who was previously seen collecting Nate’s belongings from his wife Tracy Robinson, quickly becomes a pivotal figure in the investigation. At the time, Nate was believed to have simply moved away, cutting off contact with his family. However, after the truth about Nate’s murder is revealed, the police begin to believe that the person who took his belongings may have been involved in his death.

When Ben returns to the village next week, his revelation leaves Tracy and Nate’s loved ones in shock. But is Ben telling the truth, or is something more sinister at play?

Ben’s Encounter with the Police

As the investigation progresses, a detective updates Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) about new evidence regarding Nate’s death. When Ben arrives in the shop, Tracy, Cain, and Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) are present, and the detective confronts Ben.

The detective questions Ben about his whereabouts and why he didn’t come forward sooner. Ben claims he had been away and hadn’t heard about Nate’s murder. However, this explanation raises suspicions. The police soon show Ben a picture of Owen, and Ben identifies him as the person he met to collect Nate’s belongings, confirming that it was Owen who took the items.

This identification from Ben appears to confirm to the police and to Tracy that Owen was indeed involved in the case, leading to more belief that he is the one who murdered Nate. But viewers, who are privy to the deeper storyline, know that something doesn’t add up.

The False Identification: What Is Ben Hiding?

While Ben claims to have met with Owen, there’s a major flaw in his story. If Ben truly met the person who took Nate’s belongings, he would have been able to recognize the man in the police photo—yet Ben identified Owen, a man he couldn’t have met. This raises a major question: is Ben lying, or is he hiding something even more shocking?

John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth), who was responsible for setting up Owen and framing him for the murder, is the key to this puzzle. John didn’t know Owen at the time, and it’s unclear why Ben would identify Owen as the person involved. The fact that John orchestrated the removal of Nate’s belongings and later burned them casts even more doubt on Ben’s statement.

With viewers knowing that Owen wasn’t in Walford at the time of the murder—something the police are unaware of—Ben’s false identification points to a deeper conspiracy. Was Ben involved in the framing of Owen, or is he simply a pawn in a larger game that he doesn’t fully understand?

The Fallout: Will Ben’s Lie Be Exposed?

Ben’s story to the police seems to fall apart under scrutiny. The question remains: Why would Ben lie about Owen if he hadn’t even met him? Could he be protecting someone, or is he covering up a mistake he made during the investigation?

With tensions rising and the truth about Nate’s murder still elusive, the fallout from Ben’s false statement is bound to send shockwaves through the village. Tracy, Cain, and Mack are all left reeling, and the investigation is likely to take a dramatic turn in the coming weeks as the pieces of this twisted puzzle start to come together.

What’s Next for Nate’s Murder Investigation?

As the investigation into Nate Robinson’s death unfolds, the truth about who really killed him—and why—remains shrouded in mystery. Ben’s shocking admission about Owen is just one piece of the puzzle, and the investigation is far from over. With John’s lies and manipulation still hanging in the air, it’s clear that the mystery surrounding Nate’s death will continue to unravel in explosive fashion.

Will Ben’s role in the murder investigation become clearer, or is he just another pawn in John Sugden’s dangerous game? Fans will have to stay tuned as Emmerdale delivers more shocking twists in the murder mystery that has captivated viewers for months.
