And he's gone on to kill his ex-fiancee Aidan shortly after he woke up from a coma.
Fans also watched recently as he framed patient Owen for Nate's murder - before killing him too.
But now The Sun can reveal that John will strike again in an attempt to hide his long list of crimes as Mackenzie Boyd discovers the truth about him.
A source said: 'The scenes are going to be really harrowing for fans to watch.
'Mackenzie has been in so many scrapes and dangerous positions but this time it looks like he's bitten off more than he can chew.
'Viewers will be on the edges of their seats watching what happens.'
The scenes are set to air later this year after Mackenzie makes a chilling discovery about John.
Mackenzie actor Lawrence Robb has filmed the heartbreaking death scenes for his character.
The insider added: 'There are huge twists and turns coming throughout this storyline and it's going to run for months and months.
'Nothing can be ruled out - bosses are really going for it and doing everything they can to keep the audience on their toes.'
An Emmerdale spokeswoman declined to comment.
Darkest soap storylines
Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock...
EastEnders: Tony grooming Whitney (2008-2009) - Tony King first appeared in Albert Square in 2008 as the boyfriend of Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer. But it was quickly revealed he was a paedophile who had been grooming vulnerable Whitney, Bianca's adopted stepdaughter from a previous relationship, since she was 12. The shocking storyline attracted more than 200 complaints within a week of it beginning. Whitney waited until her 16th birthday to reveal the truth to a horrified Bianca, who called the police.
Emmerdale: Holly's drug addiction and shock death (2010-2016) - In 2010, Holly Barton (played by Sophie Powles) became Emmerdale's first teenage drug addict. The shocking storyline saw her taking cocaine on a night out before developing a deadly heroin habit. Parents John and Moira desperately tried to help get their daughter clean but when Holly returned in 2016, following a four-year absence, she quickly relapsed. Fans were left stunned and heartbroken when distraught Moira found Holly dead in her bed from a heroin overdose.
Hollyoaks: Luke's rape (2000) - Actor Gary Lucy was just 17 when he took on this groundbreaking storyline, which saw his character Luke Morgan become soap's first male rape victim. Luke had endured a long-running bullying campaign by football rival Mark Gibbs - who raped him after Luke stood up to him. Luke was left suicidal following the brutal attack, before opening up to his brother Adam. Gibbs was sentenced to eight years in prison. Gary won the Best Actor gong at the British Soap Awards in 2000 for his performance.
Coronation Street: Evil Richard Hillman (2001-2003) - Just a mere mention of 'Richard Hillman' is enough to send a shiver down the spines of soap fans. He is often ranked one of the most evil soap villains and it's not hard to see why. The smooth-talking financial adviser bashed his ex-wife Patricia over the head with a shovel. In a bid to keep his mother-in-law Audrey quiet, he set fire to her house. And when Maxine caught him trying to murder Emily Bishop, he took a crowbar to her head. He made his exit from the cobbles in 2003 when he drove Gail Platt, played by Helen Worth, and her family into the canal. They survived, but he didn't.

A little-known mayor from Kent was one of the key figures responsible for the death of an English Broughton, who was the mayor of Maidstone, went on to be Oliver Cromwell's right-hand man and one of the main instigators in the beheading of King Charles I in clerk to the House of Commons he was given the crucial role of getting prominent figures to sign the king's death Waterman, historian and Maidstone tour guide, said he was a "zealous puritan" who "sat by Cromwell's side". Andrew Broughton lived in Earl Street in Maidstone and was the town's mayor for 12 years. His former home is now a Thai left Maidstone in the 1640s to become Oliver Cromwell's right-hand man. Mr Waterman said: "Broughton was his mover and shaker in the background and when the time came, very much his enforcer."On January 4, 1642, Charles I stormed Parliament with armed soldiers in an attempt to arrest five Members of Parliament for high treason, which proved a turning point. "Very soon afterwards he was charged with treason, arrested, tried and found guilty," said Mr Waterman."At the time there was only one punishment for treason and that was death."Mr Waterman said this was when Broughton's role became crucial. "The decision had been made and he was going to see it through, because that's what his beliefs told him. "He went round and strong-armed the 57 other people who signed that death warrant." King Charles I was beheaded on 30 January 1649 at the Palace of Whitehall in London, the first and only time a reigning English monarch was tried and executed by his own the restoration of the crown in 1660, Andrew Broughton was left in a difficult Waterman said: "When Charles II came back his target was the people who had signed that death warrant."There were a few people he refused to give a pardon to and one of them was Andrew Broughton."He left his family and went into hiding in Vevay in Switzerland, where he remained until his death in 1688. Broughton's house in Maidstone is marked by a plaque with the word "regicide" - killer of a king. Mr Waterman said: "It serves as a reminder of what the mayor of Maidstone was involved in."How he's not better know in English history amazes me."
