Meena has been planning to kill her older sister

Manpreet began to get closer to finding out Meena’s crimes and after the two got caught up in the Woolpack explosion, Meena had her sister discharged from the hospital and has been holding her captive at Dale View house while Wendy is away.

Meena told Manpreet about the four people she has murdered and how she plans to kill her too.

Meena told Manpreet’s ex-husband Rishi that Manpreet is in Ibiza with her daughter Aiesha, but Rishi became concerned when he found out Manpreet isn’t with Aiesha.
