EASTENDERS’ Shirley and Mick Carter were left in tears as the details of Tina’s murder at the hands of killer Gray Atkins were revealed.
The abusive serial killer – who murdered Shirley’s sister Tina and hid her body under the Arjee Barjee – was caught during last week’s violent storyline finale.
Frustrated there was no information from police, Zack managed to get some facts after Gray had reportedly started telling police further details.
Sharon’s brother said: “Yesterday, he finally talked. Tina was already dead when she went into the ground. He said she confronted him about Chantelle,” Zack said, as he sat with Mick and Shirley and told them what the police had found out so far.
Shirley then replied: “Whitney said she had been asking questions.”
“There was a fight, she tried to get away and he strangled her. He wrapped her in a shower curtain, put her in the boot. They’re still looking for the car, but he says it was stolen,” Zack explained.
Breaking down in tears, Mick said: “I was there, I was there that night. I saw him. He was out by his motor, he told me that she’d left. The old bill wanted to go in his gaffe, wanted to see if she was there, but he said he had to go somewhere.He said he had to go get something for the kids. She was there though, wasn’t she? She was in the boot of the motor.”

Ross said: “How much?
As long as it was enjoyable, I’d do it.”

Steve McFadden’s previous run-ins
In 2010, EastEnders star Steve McFadden was pictured riding his motorcycle on a pavement but police were never informed.
And in 1996 he was banned from driving after he was stopped at the wheel of his Rolls-Royce having sunk the equivalent of nine double vodkas.
His 18-month ban and £1,000 fine was criticised at the time by the Campaign Against Drink Driving.
The court was told McFadden originally planned to fight the case on grounds his drinks were spiked at a club.
The defence was pulled as it would have been too hard to prove.
The actor, right as Phil, told officers he had drunk three pints of beer at 10.30pm.
But prosecutors told the court a breath test showed he had 80mcg of alcohol in 100ml of breath, which suggested he had drunk much more. The limit is 35mcg.
