Last night EastEnders viewers watched as Gray Atkins killed Kush Kazemi however some fans were left divided by the storyline.

Back in September last year, Gray brutally murdered his wife Chantelle Atkins following their domestic abuse storyline.

Since then he appears to have also killed Tina Carter and now his third victim is Kush.

However EastEnders fans have been left unimpressed with the latest episode and some have slammed the direction of Gray's storyline.

One person wrote on Instagram, "So he's killed 3 people now. Getting ridiculous".

Another said, "The way you ruined this domestic abuse storyline by turning it into a serial killer storyline".

Someone else commented, "Stupidest decision you could have made tbh".
