Coronation Street has dropped a major clue about the murder weapon used to kill Theo Silverton, potentially narrowing down the list of suspects. During Wednesday's episode, Detective Kit Green visited Gary Windass at the builders' yard, accompanied by officers to search for the murder weapon.
Kit's attention was drawn to scaffolding poles, which he ordered to be taken to the station as possible evidence. He revealed that police believe Theo was struck with a metal object, saying, 'We're pretty sure Theo was struck by some kind of metal object when he was killed. You seem to have a few lying around.' Gary retorted, 'So that means I did it?' but Kit remained non-committal.
Fans quickly noted the significance of the clue. One viewer posted online, 'Is this the first we’re hearing that Theo was struck by a metal object? He was on scaffolding made of metal pipes. It doesn’t take a genius to work out where the mystery object came from.' Another added, 'Have we been told before that Theo was likely killed with a metal object? I wonder if that narrows down some suspects or even the killer.'
Gary is one of six named suspects in the ongoing whodunit, alongside Summer Spellman, Christina Boyd, George Shuttleworth, Todd Grimshaw, and Danielle Silverton. Some fans speculate that Theo's son Miles Silverton could be the real killer, with a cover-up involving his mother Danielle.
Coronation Street airs weeknights at 8:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
