Emmerdale fans predict serial killer Meena Jutla’s fate is “sealed” after police officer Ian Beaker’s real job was “exposed.”
During Monday’s (April 11) instalment of the popular ITV soap, viewers were in for a nail-biting episode as Dr Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) took to the stand to share his experience with deadly murderer.
Despite a whopping 25 charges against her name, the psychopath pleaded not guilty to the murders of her friend Nadie, Andrea Tate, Ben Tucker and Leanna Cavanagh.
She is also accused of the attempted murders of Victoria Sugden, Leyla Cavanagh, Vinny Dingle and her sister Manpreet Sharma.
But the criminal was in high spirits as she joined the rest of the court in the heart of Beckindale after she manipulated a new prison officer to work with her against the justice system.

However, viewers have theorised prison officer Ian Baker may not be falling for her usual tricks as they predicted the soap newcomer is actually working for the police.
One user penned: “Does anyone else think ‘Ian’ is an undercover copper getting info on meena # emmerdale.”
Another user asked: “Is Ian a double agent? #emmerdale” as they also predicted the prison officer was faking his affection for the criminal.
A third theorised: “Now I’ve been thinking … Ian the ‘prison officer’ who is actually a police officer who’ll be called as a last minute character witness to wipe the smug smile off Meena’s face, once & for all. The villagers need justice.”

It comes after viewers recognised the actor playing Meena’s prison guard in a recent episode of the ITV soap.
The newcomer was seen speaking to Meena in her cell after seemingly replacing another officer – while he also appeared in scenes on Friday (April 8).
After getting to know the star behind bars, fans were shocked to learn that the actor Dean Smith had appeared in another beloved soap on the silver screen.
