CORONATION Street fans are horrified after Stu Carpenter revealed the devastating truth behind the murder of Charlie Walter.
The veteran - who is played by actor Bill Fellows in the ITV soap - was outed as a murderer who served 27 years in prison after killing his lover Charlie Walter.
However he has protested his innocent and tonight revealed that he was tortured by the police into confessing.
He went to speak to ex Yasmeen and then he revealed how he came to confess to the murder of Charlie.
Stu told her: “He kept me awake and hungry for days on end.
“Detective Lennox, he was the lead copper in the investigation. He wouldn’t even let me have a solicitor.
“He gave me half the crust off his sandwich, after he chucked it on the floor. And that was in an interview room not two miles away from here.

“I confessed because he broke me. I just wanted it to end. I was tired, hungry and delirious. And I was grieving.
“I reported him and I retracted my statement but they said it was too late. I was just an easy target - not long out of the navy, I was like a bear with a sore head.”
But as Stu tried to explain what happened, Yasmeen called Zeedan for help.
Hearing Stu’s voice on the other end of the phone Zeedan grabbed Craig and ran home to save his grandma.
Craig arrested Stu for breaching the peace and dragged him off to custody.
