Emmerdale has confirmed the first arrest after Anthony Fox's death.

The ITV soap previously revealed Anthony had sexually abused his daughter Ruby Fox-Milligan as a teenager, with his list of enemies in the village ever growing.

And he soon got his comeuppance when he was murdered in the depot - and a whodunnit storyline followed.

Aaron Dingle brutally attacked Anthony after his abuse was uncovered, with the revelation bringing up dark memories for Aaron of his own father.
