Robert Sugden may not have been the sole person responsible for Lee's death, with Luke admitting to knocking Lee unconscious not long earlier. Luke explained that he retaliated following his brother's homophobic attack against him.
Luke asks his mother Wendy to keep the incident a secret, but Wendy reveals the truth to Victoria.
Susan Cookson, who plays Wendy, recently told Inside Soap that the revelation leaves Victoria "absolutely devastated".
"Morally, Wendy has to do the right thing," she said. "Wendy wants Vic to have all the facts so she can make an informed choice about her future. It's a horrible situation – the last thing Wendy wants is to lose another son.

"[Victoria] is absolutely devastated. Vic's worked so hard to get her life back on track after Lee, then this huge new thing completely floors her."
It appears that the truth coming out leads Luke to leave the village.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays. Due to Euro 2020, there will be some schedule changes from June 14, with each week's episodes premiering on ITV Hub during the tournament.
