KELLY GUILTY OF SEBASTIAN FRANKLIN'S MURDER | CORONATION STREET

It's been a long and ardious road to the conclusion of the murder of Sebastian Franklin in Coronation Street. 

​Since May 2021, viewers have been guessing on who killed Harry Visinoni's much-loved character.

Thanks to a special flashback episode at the end of August, Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher) took Abi Franklin (Sally Carman), Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) and Asha Alahan (Tanisha Gorey) through events of that fateful night.

With twists and turns as Nina told the story of exactly what happened.

Because Nina chooses to dress in a way that doesn't fit the norm, she and Sebastian were fatally targeted by Corey Brent (Maximus Evans), and his gang.

As Kelly Neelan (Millie Gibson) stood by in horror watching Corey kick Sebastian to his death, she tried to pull Corey away but because she was close to the assualt that took the life of Sebastian, small splatters of blood were found on her clothing.  When Corey made his getaway, he changed his attire to clean clothes so no blood could be found.  The evidence was hard against Kelly.

Kelly's foster father, Imran Habeeb (Charlie De Melo), who also acted as her lawyer was up against a team of solicitors hired by Stefan Brent (Paul Opacic).  Two attorneys comprising of Kwame Boateng (Stefan Asante-Boateng) and Sabeen Habeeb (Zora Bishop) who happens to be Imran's ex-wife. 

In the closing moments of episode 10424, ITV/STV aired the verdict and it didn't go in the favour of Lady Justice.  Kelly was found guilty of murder and Corey set free.

Coronation Street continues, tonight, at 20:30 on ITV/STV.
