EastEnders fans think they’ve found out who will be framed for Keanu's murder

It's been three months since EastEnders producers launched what might just be their most hotly-debated storyline ever, and fans are STILL going on about it.

If you're an avid viewer of this East London soap, you'll already know exactly what I'm talking about.

Even if you've never sat through an entire episode of this cockney hit, the chances are that you'll have at least court wind of one of the soap's biggest ever TV whodunnit murder mystery.

In the weeks prior to his brutal killing, the BBC revealed that one of the show's six biggest female bosses will commit a very Christmassy crime...

A teaser for the festive special read: "The Mitchell family lunch is interrupted by a surprise visitor, while Jay receives an unexpected Christmas present.

"And in a flash, Denise, Kathy, Linda, Sharon, Stacey and Suki’s lives are permanently changed forever as a Walford male meets his fate in The Vic."

We are, of course, talking about the sensational Christmas Day murder of Keanu Taylor, who was stabbed to death on 25 December with a meat thermometer.

Since that fateful day - when hundreds of thousands of viewers tuned in to watch the highly-publicised whodunnit unfold - the bad-boy's body has remained under the floorboards of Walford's cafe.

Whilst viewers have been in the know over who finally ended Keanu's life - and the circumstances in which he died - for months now, none of the show's other characters have made the realisation just yet.

Warning: spoilers ahead!

As we say, EastEnders audiences have known for weeks that Linda Carter is the woman behind Keanu's killing, and why exactly he needed to die.

Let's take a trip back: the evening of his murder, Keanu had launched an attack on his partner Sharon Watts during a heated confrontation.

As he began to strangle her, however, Linda came to Sharon's aid, plunging a meat thermometer deep into his chest in full view of witnesses Stacey Slater, Kathy Beale, Suki Panesar and Denise Fox - all of whom pledged to keep the crime a secret.

After they jointly covered up the killing, buried the body under the eatery and told the police they saw Keanu fleeing Albert Square after his run-in with Nish Panesar, the truth has finally started unravel for 'The Six'.

Earlier this week, a crack in the floor caused the cafe to cave in, and whilst the repair works were being done, Bernadette Taylor noted that it smelled as though something had died, unaware that the decomposing body actually belongs to her brother.

And on Wednesday eve, she and Alfie Moon finally made the stomach-churning discovery.

With this in mind, there has been mass speculation over who will be accused - and potentially charged - with the chilling crime, with viewers sharing their thoughts all over social media.

There's one person in particular, however, that viewers think 'The Six' will point their fingers at.

After Alfie told police that he'd seen Dean Wicks lingering around the cafe on the evening of the murder, fans believe he could be framed for the crime.

"Dean unexpectedly needing money/wanting to leave as soon as the body is dug up, Alfie saying to the police Dean walked past the cafe when it was broken in. And let’s not forget he was practically at the scene of the crime on Christmas Day… See where this is heading?" one fan postulated on social media.

Another went on: "Dean is going to jaiiilll and its linda’s justice."

"Oh Dean is so getting framed for Keanu's murder," a third went on.
