Emmerdale fans baffled as Vinny Dingle fails to give evidence at Meena's trial

It was a traumatic evening for Manpreet on Emmerdale tonight (April 12) as she took to the stand to give evidence against sister Meena.

Meena has taken out many soap favourites during her short stint in the village and she's finally facing the music. She's currently behind bars in custody while her trial takes place. Traumatised sister Manpreet has had a rough ride since her sister came to town, with Meena taking her hostage and drugging her.

Now Manpreet has had to relive the trauma while Meena's solicitor tore her character to shreds. Asked whether she believed she was a good person, the jury was informed of Manpreet's past relationships and lies. Ultimately it led to Manpreet falling apart, calling her testimony into question.

Manpreet fell apart on the stand (ITV)

Viewers were baffled as to why it seems the sole responsibility of giving evidence has fallen to Manpreet. When Meena kidnapped her sister, she also kidnapped Vinny Dingle. Victoria also survived Meena's attempt to drown her and both Dawn and Billy survived being lured to the bridge by the serial killer.

Taking to Twitter, viewers seemed perplexed at the strange trial. @Surfingspaniel penned: "Why aren’t we seeing all the other witnesses, there’s more than just Manpreet #Emmerdale." @SiouxyQ added: "Why is Vinny not taking the stand? He was kidnapped with Manpreet. #Emmerdale"

@sukavi2011 pointed out Vinny's absence too, commenting: "Where's Vinny he was captive with manpreet. Why hasn't he been called to give evidence. Manpreet is not the only victim in all this to survive. #emmerdale."

@the_clara_bella felt sorry for Manpreet, writing: "Manpreet is so traumatised, why is she being asked to give evidence in the courtroom where her torturer is and not by video link? Also where is Vinnie he would be much better placed to give evidence than Manpreet!!!! #emmerdale".

Confusion continued as @ginski67 tweeted: "Where’s Vinny he’s got no reason to lie #Emmerdale" and @AuthorKarenMaso echoed: "Why aren't they calling Vinny and Victoria as witnesses? #Emmerdale."
