Emmerdale confirms Nate news in ITVX release - and it changes everything
The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Emmerdale that hasn't aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX. DC Cole was back at Butlers Farm in tonight's episode of Emmerdale, searching for an important item following a discovery in Nate Robinson's (Jurell Carter) murder case. Yesterday, Tracy Shankley (Amy Walsh) and Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) discovered that Nate had been murdered last year and had his body thrown in the lake. They were utterly distraught, and couldn't work out who would want to hurt 'gentle giant' Nate. After Cain was questioned by the police, he arrived back home and found his family in the pub. He attempted to support Tracy, but she couldn't help grow suspicious of him. Tracy told Vanessa (Michelle Hardwick) that Cain's sympathetic act might just be because he wants to cover up the truth. Noting Cain brutally attacking Nate before he died, Tracy decided that he murdered her partner. In tonight's episode, as the police continued their investigation, Tracy had the heart-breaking job of telling Frankie that her dad wouldn't ever be coming home. As the likes of Vanessa and Mackenzie (Lawrence Robb) supported her, Aaron (Danny Miller) had made his way to Butlers to see Cain. As he entered, Aaron found Cain and Liam (Jonny McPherson) and then revealed that the police were following on behind him. More Trending Along with Moira (Natalie J Robb), Cain, Liam and Aaron watched DC Cole and his team turn the place upside down. They revealed they were looking for Nate's phone but obviously, with Cain innocent, it wasn't going to be there. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

Cole explained that whenever Nate's phone has been turned on in the past, it's happened within half a mile of the village. It means the killer lives in Emmerdale but with Cain suspect number one at the moment, Cole thought he could've hidden it. Once Tracy discovered this development, she marched over to Butlers to confront Cain. As far as she is concerned, Cain murdered Nate and the information about his phone only fuels her theory.

Rhyl High: Child was videoed being ‘beat up' by fellow pupil
The Journal has been shown a video of the incident, which took place on Monday (June 2). It is understood that this video was shared widely on WhatsApp by other pupils. The father of the victim of the assault has criticised the school for the way in which it has dealt with the matter, while North Wales Police has also been informed. He told the Journal: 'My child was beaten up on video inside Rhyl High School, while kids surrounded the fight and screamed: 'kill him'. 'The school failed to protect him and isn't being held accountable. I just want to raise awareness that these things are happening in the school, as it could have ended much worse.' The father said he said he was informed in a meeting on Wednesday (June 4) that the alleged perpetrator's parents have 'been spoken to', but he said he was dissatisfied with how the meeting went. He added: 'After this, we have now decided to move our child to another school, as we do not believe he is safe there and we have lost trust in the staff. 'No-one from the school told us our child had been attacked, either. It took our child to come home and tell us he'd been battered again.' Denbighshire County Council declined to comment, and said it is a matter for Rhyl High School to deal with. Rhyl High School did not respond to a request for a statement. A North Wales Police spokesperson said: 'We can confirm that we have received a report that an assault took place at the school involving a pupil. 'Our inquiries are underway.'
