CORONATION Street has finally confirmed who killed Lauren Bolton - but is there a second killer? Corrie viewers finally discovered Joel Deering was responsible for Lauren Bolton's disappearance, after a flashback saw him hitting her over the head and stealing her necklace. The troubled teen was reported missing in February leaving signs of being brutally attacked and murdered. Sarah Platt being caught about to plant evidence - Lauren’s hair - in Nathan Curtis’ van by police detective Kit Green.
He stopped her before searching Nathan’s van himself and finding some dodgy USB data drive - and some further evidence. With Nathan arrested, Roy Cropper’s friends and family became hopeful that he could be freed. Though when the duty solicitor turned out to be Joel Deering, Nathan looked to have a decent defence on his side - until DS Swain and Kit revealed their evidence.
They had found Lauren’s hair in Nathan’s van and with the other evidence stacking up, they charged him with Lauren’s murder. Kit told him: “Nathan Curtis, in consultation with the CPS we have been advised to charge you with the murder of Lauren Bolton.” Nathan was outraged, shouting: “This is a set up, someone planted that hair.
This is Sarah Platt. I caught her snooping around my van, you were there.” A flashback then revealed that Kit purposely pulled out a hair from the bag he’d taken from Sarah and planted it in Nathan’s van.
Joel demanded to know if Nathan’s claims were true, and Kit.
