Warning: Potential spoilers ahead

EastEnders bosses have supplied viewers with further clues - and evidence - in the Lucy Beale murder mystery.

Including, potentially, our first image of Lucy's killer.

However the episoide has since been removed from BBC iPlayer - meaning that it's down to screengrabs and armchair detectives  to figure out what they really saw.

Those final scenes - which saw a mysterious 'someone' burying Lucy Beale's wallet and mobile phone, in the dead of night - seemed, at first, like a tease.

However, as one eagle-eyed viewer has pointed out, there was a lot more to it than we first believed.

André Vocáse wrote: "Well, well, well. I just watched tonight's episode on catch-up. Pretty good ending, I thought (though it was a bit careless burying the purse and phone in front of 8 million viewers) So, very good, I thought."

Post by André Vocáse.

"Then I replayed it and I studied the phone. I froze the image about 40 times (something I've not done since watching Basic Instinct on VHS) You can clearly see who it is burying the evidence if you look at the phone screen reflection on hi-res and full-screen.

"Staggered. (cue da-da-da-da-da-da-daaaaaaaa)"

Let's take a look, shall we?

While we assumed we were looking at a bald head (meaning Max Branning or Phil Mitchell), André later revealed that - when he slowed the scene down and blew it up - the reflection actually showed...

Jay.

As in, Abi Branning's boyfriend Jay.

While many suggested that the reflection could have just been a case of the cameraman standing in the wrong place at the wrong time, new episodes have seen police release CCTV footage from the night Lucy Beale was killed.

And, again, Jay can be seen dogging her footsteps in the background.

Jay - after watching the footage - revealed that he was in possession of the beanie hat he is apparently wearing in the CCTV footage.

And he has since burned the evidence.

Cue Jay's sudden decision to leave Walford and move to Manchester with girlfriend Abi Branning and you have a recipe for guilt.
