Coronation Street fans say 'it's not him' as Max's four-word comment rules him out of Joel Deering's murder

Coronation Street fans have said 'it's not' Max Tuner who has killed Joel Deering after he was charged with the solicitor's murder.

Weatherfield's biggest whodunnit has been underway ever since the solicitor's body was found last month. And during Wednesday night's (November 13) trip to the cobbles it appeared that leading investigator DC Kit Green has his man as Max confessed to killing Joel.

As fans of the ITV soap know, Joel first went missing at the end of September. The news was revealed when he failed to show up to court where it was thought that he'd face comeuppance for some of his twisted crimes.

However, it was confirmed he'd been killed with a heavy weapon before entering the water and several people have since been put in the frame.
