Emmerdale's Ruby Fox-Miligan's 'secret brother revealed' and he already lives in the village

Emmerdale aired a gripping twist last week as Anthony Fox (Nicholas Day) was murdered after he was exposed as abusing his daughter Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly) as a teenager. But some fans of the ITV soap think Anthony was hiding another secret and Ruby has a brother in the village.

Anthony's final moments came when Aaron tearfully confronted him after working out he had abused terrified Ruby after spotting the signs. While at Caleb's (William Ash) depot, Aaron wanted Anthony to admit what he did to his daughter and planned to take him to the police station.

Vile Anthony, who was terminally ill, immediately worried about his future behind bars. He changed tactics by cruelly mocking Aaron over the sexual abuse his suffered at the hands of his own dad.

Aaron lost control of his temper and gave Anthony a brutal beating leaving him for dead on the depot's floor. Returning home, Aaron looked upset and in shock as he confessed to his boyfriend John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) about what he did to Anthony, confirming "I nearly killed him."

John insisted they returned to the depot to retrieve Anthony, but when they arrived, he was dead on the floor. John calmly insisted on taking control of the situation and volunteered to dispose of the body while Aaron was consumed with panic.

Since John arrived in the village last year as part of the famous Sugden family, not much is known about his past except he was in the army. But some Emmerdale fans are convinced John is Ruby's real brother and he is the one who killed Antony delivering the final blow.

Taking to Facebook, one Emmerdale viewer wrote: "I think Anthony killer is John? Who turns out to be Ruby brother. Hope I have names right."

A second asked: "A brother has been mentioned I am sure?", while a third predicted: "Love child maybe."

While another fan simply suggested John hasn't been honest about his family history and added: " I think he's lying."
