Tom King has lied to police over abusing Belle Dingle in Emmerdale. Belle recently went to the police station to confess that she'd struck estranged husband Tom with an axe, but stressed she'd acted in self-defence because he was trying to kill her.

Comeuppance is on its way to Tom King as his estranged wife Belle Dingle is planning to make him face the consequences of his vile actions. But another villager may take him down.

Emmerdale aired an explosive twist on Tuesday night as Tom King continued to make estranged ex-wife Belle Dingle's life a misery

Belle Dingle has reported Tom King to the police for domestic violence in powerful Emmerdale scenes. Earlier this week, Tom demanded a secret one-on-one meeting with Belle in the hospital, or he'd tell police she attacked him with an axe.

In a classic twist straight from a horror film, last week Emmerdale fans saw evil Tom King (James Chase) finally getting what he deserved – an axe in his back – only for his apparently dead body to vanish.
