EastEnders fans 'solve' how Christmas victim is killed as they spot weapon

EastEnders viewers think they may know what is used to kill the mystery victim on Christmas Day on the BBC soap.

Viewers of the show already know that a mystery male character dies at Christmas in a possible murder. Six female characters are the current suspects.

All of them are at the scene of the crime, while it's not known who is the killer and why. Events, as teased in a flashforward back in February this year, confirmed someone dies at The Queen Vic and it seems a showdown has occurred.

A number of victims and motives have been teased throughout the year so far, while trailers for each of the women have also dropped clues as to who the killer might be. Now, some fans think the latest trailer released could give away the murder weapon, or at least how the man is killed.

In the latest clip Kathy Beale is seen wielding a meat cleaver as she beheads some pink tulips in a fit of rage. Could this be a hint of the way in which the victim meats a grisly end on Christmas Day?

There's also past scenes viewers have recalled, with Linda Carter threatening her rapist Dean Wicks with a knife recently, while in the past Kathy did the same to her own attacker. Could these links and the trailer hint that whoever dies is killed with a knife, butcher knife or not?

Taking to social media, one viewer said: "All i’ll say is two women out of the six have picked up knives when being confronted by the men who assaulted them." Another agreed: "A knife as the weapon is a great shout too because of the wedding cake!!"

A third fan suggested: "I really want Kathy to be the killer because going from ‘if I’d had a knife I’d have killed him there and then’ to having a knife but being too scared to use it to then actually going through with it would be SUCH interesting character development to explore."

There's just one more trailer to drop, with Suki Panesar yet to have her big plot linking her to the Christmas death. Might this give us some final clues as to who dies and how?
