A massive EastEnders<\/a> twist has sparked a new mystery, as the murder weapon used to kill Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) went missing tonight<\/a> (19th February 2024).<\/p>\n

But we can\u2019t help but recall the BBC soap\u2019s Christmas Day red herring, asking if it\u2019s all connected to the events in the present day.<\/p>\n

Minutes before Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) fatally stabbed Keanu<\/a>, Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo), the man who raped her, was seen lurking in the living quarters of The Queen Vic pub.<\/p>\n

Despite our wondering whether Dean was set to end up dead, his presence remained undiscovered by Linda \u2013 but there simply has to be a point to it, right? Has Dean stolen the weapon, perhaps having witnessed the murder itself?<\/p>\n
