Coronation Street horror as major character is murdered in horrific scenes

Coronation Street cast Luke Britton (Dean Fagan) finally realised that Pat Phelan (Connor McIntyre) had done something sinister to his friend Andy Carver (Oliver Farnworth).

The pair ended up in a violent showdown as Phelan tried to kill Luke with a brick, but Luke fought back and knocked Phelan unconscious.

As Luke escaped in his car, Phelan chased him in his van and managed to track him down.

Shooting Luke through the windscreen, he then reversed his vehicle and shot the petrol tank, exploding the car with Luke stuck in it.

He coldly said to him: "Well you came looking for Andy, looks like you found him.

"You say hello from me."

Dean has spoken about his shock exit, and teased that it could prove to be the downfall of Phelan in the long run.

He said a press day: "He has now killed again which is a desperate act and one that is going to eventually start more questions being asked.

Dean also said that watching his death scene from afar felt "like an out-of-body experience".

"I came down the hill above where the scene was being done, I was like his soul standing there and watching him die."

Will Luke's death be Phelan's last evil act before the tide turns against him?

Corrie continues on Monday at 7.30pm on ITV.
