Coronation Street fans have been left shocked after Ali Neeson murdered Ronan Truman.
The doctor decided to kill Ronan before an ambulance could reach him to stop him from harming his family anymore.
In last night’s episode Ronan hit Ryan Connor with his car before preparing to kill his mother Michelle.
But when he heard sirens he fled, accidentally reversing over Leanne Battersby in the process.
And in his panic to escape he crashed his own car and impaled himself onto a metal spike.

And when Ali went to try and save him, Ronan tried to grab his gun and kill him, forcing Ali to act.
Instead of walking away, Ali locked the gun away from Ronan in his glove compartment and still tried to save his life.
But when he refused to listen and threatened to still come after the Connors, Ali crossed the line and committed the ultimate crime.
Telling Ronan to wrap his hands around the post in his stomach, he then wrapped his own hands around it.
Despite Ronan realising what was happening and him begging him to stop, Ali ripped the post out.
Ronan bled out as a horrified Ali ran to the road in shock.

Another added: “Ali, nooooo he’s turned into a bad one. #corrie”
