EMMERDALE fans have insisted being murdered is letting paedophile Maya Stepney off too lightly – saying she should be tortured instead.
Viewers are up in arms over hints that Maya will be killed by Leyla Harding, Tracy Shankley and Priya Sharma, arguing that she needs to face up to her crimes.

Teacher Maya has scandalised viewers for months by grooming her pupil Jacob Gallagher – the adopted son of David Metcalfe, who she was dating.
One wrote: “How about they torture Maya and make her admit what she has done is wrong. And tell her to leave the village for good.”
Another echoed the thoughts of many when they said the paedo techer being murdered would be “annoying” because it would allow her to dodge justice.
They wrote: “I hope they don’t kill her, she needs to be arrested and tried for grooming a school kid. I want everyone to know what a vile sicko she is.”
A third Emmerdale fan reckoned having her murdered would teach young viewers a bad lesson, posting: “Please no!
“For once, I’d like to see the police do a good job, a court case and some jail time. To much to ask obviously ?.”
They added: “If you really want kids to come forward and show how wrong the perpetrators are, you need to show consequences.”
A trailer after last night’s episode hinted that Leyla will kill paedophile Maya in a brutal attack – before covering up the crime with the help of Tracy and Priya.

The wedding planner, played by Roxy Shahidi, turns violent and attacks Maya after learning she has been abusing her son Jacob.
Preview footage shows Maya screaming for help with Leyla appearing to strangle her, raging: “You are going to regret every single thing you have done to Jacob.”
Teacher Maya, played by Louisa Clein, was found kissing Jacob outside a nightclub by Priya, who quickly told Tracy and Leyla.
