EastEnders hardman Phil Mitchell is to be arrested for murder in a shocking new Christmas storyline.

The shady businessman - played by Steve McFadden - has been targeted by a unknown stalker, who this week sent him mysterious pictures linked to a tragic accident from his past.

And police are set to arrest Phil at Christmas after a mystery witness in Albert Square provides evidence that he murdered Kevin Wicks, The Sun reports.

Car lot manager Kevin, played by Phil Daniels, died in a terrible crash in 2007 while driving an illegal 'cut and shut' car, sold by mechanic Phil.

After four years of thinking he'd got away with it, Phil is now being stalked by someone who knows he what he did.

Phil is reportedly going to be sent mad by the torment as his stalker forces him to revisit events from his past, including Kevin's crash and the death of an innocent man when he and Frank Butcher burned down the car lot in an insurance job.

The EastEnders website has begun naming people who could be Phil's stalker, but with so many enemies there are at least 12 possible suspects.

The site has already named Michael Moon and Janine Butcher as having enough motives to be Phil's stalker.

Kevin's wife Denise Wicks was left widowed by the crash, so she too could be one of the suspects in the frame.

Its a really interesting storyline wasnt expected anything like this. Cant wait until we get twists and turns on who it is!

Poll coming on possible suspects.
