Emmerdale fans were elated when Meena's prison guard Ian appeared to betray her in dramatic scenes.
Last night, Meena was found guilty of Ben Tucker, Andrea Tate and Leanna Cavanagh's murders. But shortly after the verdict was given, Meena was stabbed by one of her victims' sisters.
As Meena was pretending to be unconscious, Manpreet went to rescue her sister, only for Meena to spring up and hold her hostage with a shard of glass. Attempting an escape, Meena ran out of the courtroom but was shocked to find that her prison guard Ian had betrayed her and not left the exit door unlocked - trapping Meena and Manpreet.
