Years before they told social services that his dad had been abusing Bobby, and then he took his own life.
It turns out it was his mum who had been the one responsible for the abuse.
In the end it was revealed that Bobby had enlisted his brother to do the killings - this turned out to be DJ, the plumber who had been employed by Joe to fix the family's boiler.
Bobby's brother carried out the murders as he felt guilty for never helping Bobby as a child.
DJ has been hanging around Joe's house since episode one, as he was "fixing the boiler".
Fans have thought he had something to do with the killings from day one, and took to Twitter to vent about the "predictable ending".
One tweeted: "We could of told the cops this weeks ago saved us all the time 🙄."
While this one said: "I knew it! I said it would be plumber! very predictable."
Another chimed: "So the person who was the most obvious suspect in the beginning turned out to be actually the perpetrator 🤔.
But others liked the twist that DJ was the murderer, with one saying: "Absolutely cracking ending! I didn't see that coming. I just thought it was bobby!"
