She stabbed him in an attempt to stop his attack on Sharon Watts, and The Six buried his body under the floorboards in the local cafe.

It was meant to be a temporary measure as they found a better hiding place, but his mum's arrival in Walford threw those plans into disarray.

The eatery was closed for construction when Keanu's corpse was hidden among the debris, but recently reopened for business.

Nish welcomed new customers in, including the dead man's mum Karen Taylor, who remained the wiser that she was standing over her son's final resting place.

But disgusted EastEnders fans have pointed out that after six weeks the body should be far along in the decomposition process, questioning why visitors to the cafe can't smell the body.

One bewildered person asked: "Does the café not stank??? how has no one noticed the smell of a corpse??"

Someone seconded: "Why doesn’t the café smell of dead body? It would be reeking of decaying Keanu by now…"

A third agreed: "Keanu must be starting to smell by now."

Another hit out at the plot point, calling it "ridiculous and unbelievable".

They added: "The caff re-opening for business with poor Keanu still buried under the floor - no-one having noticed the smell of dead body + the builders not caring some random came in + filled in a hole in the floor with cement."
