Tom King Theories
As promised, here is my quite a long theory. Please get ready for a long read.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom King Murder Mystery What We Know For Sure: Tom King was pushed out of his upstairs bedroom window. He came crashing down and was pronounced dead by paramedics during him and Rosemary Sinclair’s Wedding Reception. People who are confirmed to have been in the house at the time are Kelly Windsor, Jimmy King, Pearl, Bob Hope and Jamie Hope. Terry Woods was in the ground, prior to Toms death, but we have no evidence that he was in the house. Chastity Dingle (Chas) also walked out on Carl, into the Home Farm grounds. We have no evidence of where she left. Note here, that Chas would know her way around Home Farm and may still have keys to the house that Carl gave her. People whom we can exclude from this investigation are the whole Dingle family (barring Chas), Eric Pollard, Harry, Val Lambert, Louise Appleton, Ashley and Laurel Thomas, Diane. We also know that Tom left to go to his room and told Rosemary to meet him there in a couple of minutes time. The Final Moments: (Times in the actually story could be different, so I have used a random time and carried on. However, all time gaps are the same as the soaps. Its only the specific hour we are currently Unsure of) 8:00: Tom leaves Rosemary telling her to meet him in his room in a few minutes 8:02: Tom goes into bathroom. Bob is there and grabs a vase and threatens to hit him with it. Bob eventually lowers it and Tom tells him to leave, or he will phone the police. 8:03: Bob bumps into Jamie and tells him how he couldn’t kill Tom. Jamie calls him a coward and pathetic and storms off. Bob starts wimpering. 8:04: The fireworks start 8:05: A knock at Tom’s door. He laughs, (assuming its Rosemary) and says that she doesn’t need to bother knocking. We do not see who it is that comes in. 8:06: As Pearl is walking down the corridor, she hears a slight moan. As she goes to investigate, Kelly walks out from another room with two bottles of alcohol in her hands. Pearl is distracted. 8:07: We see Tom King going out of the window and falling onto the concrete below. 8:07: Matthew arrives, then Carl arrives, then Jimmy and Kelly arrive, followed by Rosemary, all from the direction of the house. We can assume from this, that Tom King spent the last 2 minutes of his life in his room with the killer. I must point out here, what killer would spend 2 minutes before finally committing the crime? We must therefore assume that the murderer did not do this in a spur of the moment. He or she planned this and spend 2 minutes along with Tom King before murdering him. Obviously he or she wanted to tell Tom something before committing the crime. Who would do this and what would they tell him? Also, they knew that no one, apart from the people who were outside as Tom fell to his death, would have an alibi. Here, we must assume that the killer is exceptionally smart. The Suspects: Rosemary Sinclair: Rosemary is a suspect. She had a lot to gain from Tom’s death including King & Sons, The Home Farm, and of course, Tom’s bank account. Rosemary has also been bankrupt for quite some time. Before getting involved with Tom, her house was re-claimed and all her companies went into liquidation. Rosemary certainly had the motive to kill Tom, she also had the opportunity as her fingerprints in any part of Home Farm or indeed on Tom himself would be accepted by the police as perfectly normal for a newly wedded couple. Matthew, Jimmy and Carl King: Tom Kings sons. Infuriated when they learned of Tom giving Rosemary control of the Home Farm Estate as a wedding present. They had the means and opportunity by there being three of them and one of Tom, and them having access to the house. The motive: The Business. They wouldn’t want the business to get into Rosemary’s hands. Bob Hope: From Tom’s death, Bob would have avenged his daughters Dawns death. Dawn was killed when one of the Kings Development houses collapsed. The Health and Safety was not entirely legal, thus infuriating many relatives and friends of Dawn. Bob was certainly in the house at the time of Tom Kings death and was seen running out of the house mere seconds after the death. Bob had the motive, the means, and the opportunity but would he go through with it? Jamie Hope: Jamie, much like Bob, is desperate to avenge his sister Dawns death. Jamie was also in the house at the time and was also seen making a hasty exit. Jamie was seen to be more desperate to do something than Bob, but would he have made the final push? Grayson Sinclair: Grayson is Rosemarys son. He is also co-inheritor along with Alasdair Sinclair to all of Rosemary’s estate. Tom knew about Grayson being gay and maybe perhaps Grayson felt that if Tom bit the dust, he would inherit everything from Rosemary. Grayson made up the documents when Tom wanted to hand over Home Farm to Rosemary. Rosemary told him to make it so if anything happened to her, the estate would automatically come to him and Alasdair. From this we can make the assumption, that she was planning on being around for longer than Tom. Perhaps a murder motive? Chastity Dingle: Chas was in a relationship with Tom’s son Carl. Tom caught Chas trying to incriminate the company and gave her £10,000 to leave Carl and never come back. She showed up at the wedding reception, and told Carl about this. She told Tom King he won’t get away with what he did to her. A threat that could possibly being carried out? Summing Up Statement: A man was murdered. He was shoved out of his own bedroom window at his wedding reception. There were many suspects and many threats made to this man. This man was a ruthless businessman. He would do anything to ensure he got his own way, and that his company didn’t go down. This man was also a courageous man, however vicious he was. Of the suspects, there are 2 main ones I am keen to point out. Rosemary Sinclair, a bankrupt businesswoman. Her relationship with Mr King started pretty much straight after her becoming bankrupt. This is too much a co-incidence. Rosemary, will now have a claim on Mr Kings business, bank account and pretty much everything. Also, note how Rosemary behaves in the episodes after Mr Kings death. She seems almost carrying on as normal, and is pretty keen to point out to the King sons that she is now controlling the Home Farm Estate. Jamie Hope. A devastated man, in his 20’s, who lost his sister in a tragic accident due to Mr Kings lack of Health And Safety Procedures. This was never proved in a court of law, but Jimmy confessed this at one point, however, only to one Bob Hope, whom is extremely biased against the Kings. Jamie was hell-bent on avenging his sister’s death. He would go to any length to ensure Mr King would pay for Dawn Hopes death. Now, I must refer back to the beginning of this theory, when I said that Tom spent the last two minutes of his life with the killer. This means the killer wanted to spend time with him, or maybe just argued with him. However, Tom would have yelled for help if he thought he was in immediate danger. Now, out of my two suspects, who did he trust most? His wife, and his killer Rosemary Sinclair. I therefore put it to you that Tom Kings murderer, was in fact, his newly-wed bride, Rosemary Sinclair Last edited by GwrxVurfer : 28-12-2006 at 16:35. |

When Tom said "I'm not about to pop me clogs in the next few years, god willing," Rosemary gave him a very sly little "oh really??" smirk. Probably a red herring but she's my prime suspect at the moment.
One thing about the arrival times of the Kings; since I just rewatched it on tape... Matthew arrived 1st on his own, then Carl (also alone) then Kelly and Jimmy got there together. |

Rosemary is my prime suspect at the moment....she gains a lot from his death, his whole estate and did you see her take her wedding ring off the same day he died

I can't fault the logic of your theory, Vurfer, but I've always suspected Jamie as the killer. The reason? Stronger motive than the others. Not only Dawn's death (and his non - attendance at her funeral which upset Bob), also he feels partly responsible for TJ's abduction which in turn has shattered Terry. All of these factors are directly/indirectly down to the Kings.
Maybe Rosemary's icy reaction after the murder is just because she's a hard faced money grabber, not a murderer. I was glad to see my suspect made into your final two choices, though

That took a good 20 minutes out of my life
I always thought, even before the murder, that Rosemary was to do it. Call it an instinct if you will. She just looks and acts icilly and I certainly would trust her as far as I could throw her

I real hope their is a huge twist in the end like .... It all being an accident or it was someone who wasn't in the final ten, I was reading the DS interview with Alex Carter this morning and I think it said something about the 10 being wiped down to 5 final suspects, Imagine if it turned out to be one of the original 10 who isn't in the final 5 :P
There has to be a twist otherwise it will be Grayson, Rosemary or Jamie which would disapoint me in the end

i also agree that it was Rosemary with the active help of Grayson . they had the most to gain than anyone else in the both short and long term since he signed the document for supposed control of Home Farm Estates .... i think all this stuff about revenge for Dawns death is red herring . his sons had more to lose once he was married ... so why murder him after the ceremony ...i think he was reading the legal document prepared by Grayson and Rosemary in the room and found what was really in it ...

well you are certainly a dedicated Emmerdale fan.
![]() It would be too obvious if Rosemary did it, she is looking too guilty at the moment. if it is her it needs a twist, someone else involved or something. Rosemary and Jamie with the suit of armour.

NOBODY except the powers that be know. I just wish it wasn't going to be dragged out so long before they share the secret with us.

Just had another thought,
Pearl heard Tom making the noise and then instantly as Pearl came towards the door of Tom's room, Kelly charged out and distracted Pearl. Do you think Kelly could be involved in the set up, helping either Jimmy, Bob or Jamie? Maybe Kelly was the cover to help just in case someone caught up with the killer. Kelly could have been listening in and heard Pearl walk towards the room and come storming out. If this is the case she came out of Home Farm with Jimmy, Maybe that could be another theory |

Athough I'm not sure if it was Rosemary who did it - she also found out at the wedding that Tom has tried it on with Sadie - whom Rosemary hated with a passion! She looked quite shocked at the news and Tom refused to talk about it at that point ...

Kelly couldn't have done it, Tom was still alive when she was fleeing in the oposite direction.
We heard his moaning as did Pearl, then Kelly came out of the next room and stormed away from the Murder Scene and then Max fell out the window, it doesn't make sense *Sorry was thinking about Hollyoaks

She did pull a face at that little gem, didn't she. Yet another motive for Grinchmary's murder list. |
