Home and Away death confirmed after kidnap storyline

 Someone is killed in suspicious circumstances.

Home and Away's latest murder mystery will air on UK screens next week.

Upcoming episodes on Channel 5 will see Summer Bay residents left shocked after the body of PK is found on the beach.

Over the next few days, UK viewers will see sleazy PK become a hate figure in the Bay after his cruel mistreatment of Mackenzie Booth.

Mackenzie's brother Dean Thompson tries to step in, ordering PK to pay back the $50,000 he owes her.

Dean warns that if PK doesn't cooperate, he'll have to call in some fearsome friends as back-up.

Dean is alluding to his past in the River Boys, but PK scoffs at this and claims that he has much more dangerous contacts that he can rely on.

Soon afterwards, Dean is delivered an anonymous envelope which contains a picture of his young son Jai.

On the back of the photo, there's a threatening message which is clearly from PK: "Like I said, this isn't over".

Dean panics that Jai could now be in danger and he immediately contacts the youngster's mum Amber, urging her to keep a close eye on him until further notice.

When PK next sees Dean, he makes a veiled reference to his threat by pointing out how trusting Jai seems.

Dean decides that it's time to follow through with his own threats, so he teams up with the River Boys to abduct PK. The ruthless poker player finds himself bound and gagged in the boot of a car.

Later in the week, when Justin Morgan and Leah Patterson are strolling along the beach, they find a body in the sand dunes.

A police team, led by Rose Delaney, cordons off the area while the body is inspected.

A wallet is found in the person's clothes, confirming that the deceased is PK. Has one of the Summer Bay residents taken revenge against him?

Home and Away airs these scenes on Friday, July 1 at 1.15pm on Channel 5 and 6pm on 5STAR. First-look screenings air at 6.30pm on 5STAR and the show also streams on My5.
