EMMERDALE fans saw Belle Dingle being tormented as her twisted ex-boyfriend Lachlan White returned to the soap.

The murderous teen made a comeback after being locked away for his killing spree.

Where is serial killer Lachlan White now?

Lachlan is in jail awaiting trial for killing Gerry Roberts, Chrissie and Lawrence White and conman Paul Tozer who tried to pass himself off as Gerry’s fake uncle Terry.

In November it was revealed that Thomas Atkinson, 20, would be reprising his role in the New Year, though his return would be brief.

An insider told the Metro at the time:

"Taking a break away from the village was just what Belle needed to get her head together after everything she went through with Lachlan.

"But as she tries to get back on track, the ever-conniving Lachlan hasn't forgotten about her or the village.

"There are some more brief scenes coming up involving Lachlan but whether he is repentant over his crimes and wants to make amends or whether he has revenge on his mind once again remains to be seen.

"Either way, these are old wounds that Belle really didn't need to have opened up.

"Every time she thinks she can forget about Lachlan, things have a habit of coming back to haunt her."

Whose body was buried in the woods?

Priya Sharma was stunned when police attending a fire at the cabin discovered a grisly find in the woods.

Viewers couldn't believe their eyes when what appeared to be a body was uncovered near to where serial killer Lachlan White had kept his aunt captive.

Two policemen were seen telling Priya that the cabin fire had been started deliberately.

A third officer then called out to them: "Over here. Think you need to take a look at this."

He then showed them a white sack peeking out of the soil.

The policeman said: "We got a scent and dug it up. I think its blood."

The bloody discovery finally revealed the fate of Rebecca, played by Emily Head, after Lachlan smothered her to death.

Whose body was in the boot?

Sam spotted Lachlan trying to conceal what looked like a body in the boot of his car.

Priya was in danger after growing suspicious of Lachlan and working out that the writing she spotted in the cabin said ‘Lachlan is a killer.’

She spotted him hanging around the cabin before it was deliberately set fire to, fuelling her suspicions even more.

And the twisted teen even threatened her outright, warning her that she’d better hope she’s wrong about him.

Lachlan began his killing spree on Emmerdale when he caused his mum and granddad, Chrissie and Lawrence White, to crash into an oncoming lorry.

After finding out Chrissie had interfered into his relationship with Belle, Lachlan broke down and spun the steering wheel into traffic.

In May 2018, Lachlan struck again, horrifying fans by bludgeoning fan-favourite Gerry Roberts to death after he discovered his former cellmate's secret.

His aunt Rebecca, who suffered brain damage in the car crash, discovered her nephew's killer alter-ego when she walked in on him attempting to murder Liv Flaherty and Robert Sugden.
