Emmerdale: What happened to Malone?

The corrupt copper first appeared earlier this year. It was revealed that he was the leader of the gang Will worked with before his life in Emmerdale.

After Malone forced Will to get back into stashing drugs, Cain Dingle found out about Malone’s dodgy behaviour, and that he wasn’t the only corrupt officer on the force.

Eventually Will’s fiancée and Malone’s ex-colleague, Harriet, began having an affair with Malone, despite knowing what he’s really like.

But when Will’s daughter Dawn found out, she went to the police about Malone. She reported him for his harassment of her and her family.

However Malone didn’t take this too well. He went over to Dawn’s and tried to get her to take her own life by overdosing.

When she refused, he threatened her with a gun.

But when Harriet came home, she knocked Malone unconscious. At first the two women thought he was dead.

However Malone soon got up and Dawn panicked and shot him three times.

What happened to Malone’s body? Will he be found?

Afterwards, Harriet and Dawn took Malone’s body to the village graveyard and Harriet buried him in a grave.

Later a police officer revealed Malone had gone missing. But when Will started to panic that Malone was still after him, Harriet and Dawn told him that Malone was dead.
