Who has Lucas Johnson killed in EastEnders?
Lucas managed to murder five Walford residents during his reign of terror in the Square before he was sent to prison in 2016.
His killing spree began in 2009 when he brutally killed his ex Trina at the allotments, impaling and murdering her on a rake.
When Denise’s ex Owen discovered his killer secret, Lucas saw red and murdered him too.
Lucas also murdered three prostitutes during his time in Walford, which took his murder count to five.
The serial killer attempted to frame Denise for his murders after faking her suicide and locking her in a basement for months.
Denise eventually escaped and exposed Lucas’ crimes, sending him to prison.
