How Many Murder Has Meena Done? Death & Murder Details
In Emmerdale, Meena has murdered five people. She murdered her best friend Nadine Butler before moving to the Dales and managed to cover it up as a suicide.
This proved to be Leanna Cavanagh’s undoing, as she discovered the news article about Nadine’s suspicious death in Meena’s belongings.
Meena claimed Nadine committed suicide, but after Leanna dug deeper, Meena admitted she murdered Nadine.
She then killed Leanna and pretended it was an accident in order to keep her secret.

Her third murder occurred during Emmerdale’s’survival week,’ when she attempted to drown Victoria but failed.
Andrea Tate, unfortunately, caught Meena in the act and became her next victim. Andrea was killed by Meena, who hit her over the head with a wooden step before abandoning her in a burning maze.
Things got complicated when she attempted to kill Priya after realizing she had seen her kill Andrea. She was stopped in her tracks, however, when a nurse arrived and discovered that Priya had not seen anything.
Ben Tucker became her fourth victim after seeing footage of Meena attempting to drown Victoria.
Dawn Taylor discovered his body after she hit him over the head with a kayak oar.
What Happened to Meena in Emmerdale?
Meena Jutla appears to be getting nastier in upcoming Emmerdale scenes.
Off-screen, the serial killer has already claimed the life of a friend and has now murdered villagers Leanna Cavanagh, Andrea Tate, and Ben Tucker.
But we haven’t seen the worst of the devilish nurse yet.
On Loose Women on Wednesday (8th December), actress Paige Sandhu hinted at what might lead to her character Meena’s demise.
