BBC Killing Eve fans aghast as second major character killed off

The latest episode of the smash hit drama series Killing Eve left viewers stunned with another shock death.

In the episode, Villanelle - played by Scouser Jodie Comer - received good news about her forthcoming promotion but still couldn't shake the feeling something was missing from her life - clearly missing Eve in a few scenes.

It was Eve's birthday and she was keen to patch up things with her husband, Niko.

Niko has been suffering from the stress caused by Villanelle's psychotic antics in the previous seasons and he's trying to get his life back together.

But unknowingly working on a farm with Villanelle's mentor, Dasha, sees Niko come to a shock end.

As Eve turns up for a visit, Dasha stabs Nico and leaves him to die in front of Eve.

Viewers were stunned and took to Twitter to share their thoughts.

Debbiann said: "Wow #KillingEve Didn't see that coming. Poor Niko".

Jay commented: "This seasons twists are pretty good. Kenny's Death Nico's Death! What next?!"

Laura said: "I'm not OK with a second original character being killed off in this series of #KillingEve. Damn!"

Sophie said: "Oh my god! Niko!"

Wayne said: "Oh s**t I wasn’t expecting that, a pitchfork in the neck .... but I don’t suppose he was expecting that either".

Diane added: "Well, the body count in #KillingEve continues to increase and shock..... LOVE IT!!"

*Killing Eve airs on Sunday evenings on BBC One
