Armed with doubt, Honey sought advice from Nicola, who encouraged her to talk to Billy, who reiterated his innocence once more. <\/p>\n<p>Billy revealed that he\u2019d found an old housemate of Bea\u2019s named Ruth, who Honey subsequently met with. Ruth revealed that \u2013 just like Honey \u2013 she and Bea became best friends. <\/p>\n<p>That is, until Bea tried to get rid of her husband. Ruth was convinced that Bea pushed her husband down the stairs when he supposedly \u2018fell\u2019.

An altercation ensued, with Bea falling onto some broken glass, hurting her hand. She screamed at the top of her lungs, berating him for cheating on Honey previously before bursting into tears. <\/p>\n<p>Later, she destroyed the living area of the house, splattered red food substance all over the fridge to make it look like blood stains and then phoned the police. With a highly convincing performance \u2013 delivered expertly bypowerhouse star Ronni \u2013 Bea claimed that she was being attacked by Billy.<\/p>\n<p>When the police showed up and took a look at the state of the house, they revealed to Honey and Nicola that Billy was wanted in connection to the call they received. Horrified, Honey tracked Billy down at the boxing gym and told him all about her conversation with Ruth, before revealing to him that Bea has set him up for her \u2018murder\u2019. <\/p>\n<p>The question is: will the police be able to find Bea? And will Billy be able to prove his innocence? <\/p>\n<p>EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on\u00a0BBC\u00a0One or stream from 6am on BBC iPlayer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">If you\u2019ve got a soap or TV story, video or pictures get in touch by emailing us\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2026\/07\/02\/eastenders-killer-bea-dead-police-swarm-walford-a-twist-29011391\/mailto:soaps@metro.co.uk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">soaps@metro.co.uk<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Join the community by leaving a comment below and\u00a0<a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/tv-soaps\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">stay updated on all things soaps on our homepage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\">Arrow<br \/>\nMORE: <a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2026\/07\/02\/eastenders-spoilers-next-week-shock-ending-key-story-revealed-28936059\/?ico=more_text_links\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">All EastEnders spoilers for next week as shock ending to key story is revealed<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\">Arrow<br \/>\nMORE: <a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2026\/06\/29\/eastenders-honey-faces-death-final-apocalyptic-showdown-bea-28968758\/?ico=more_text_links\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">EastEnders\u2019 Honey faces death in final apocalyptic showdown with Bea<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\">Arrow<br \/>\nMORE: <a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2026\/06\/26\/a-true-fan-test-knowledge-metros-latest-soaps-quiz-28924108\/?ico=more_text_links\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Are you a true fan?
