Ash will be the second character arrested on suspicion of killing Charlotte King in Home and Away.
Charlotte's murder has rocked Summer Bay to the core, and a number of residents have already been thrown into the spotlight.
Ash's arrest comes after the finger is pointed at Irene Roberts, who was taken in for questioning when evidence put her at the scene of the crime.
Ash will fall under suspicion when detective Dylan Carter discovers that he wasn't with Phoebe the entire time after Leah and Zac's wedding, meaning he has no proper alibi for when Charlotte was murdered.
Ash had failed to mention this during a previous conversation with the police, immediately arousing suspicion.
Convinced that Ash is the culprit behind the crime. Dylan soon arrests him, despite his insistence that he was instead picking his sister Billie up in Yabbie Creek.
Ash's arrest devastates his girlfriend Phoebe, who desperately tries to persuade her friend Kat to help him out.
However, with Kat torn over her duties as a police officer and her friendship with the pair, what does the future hold for Ash? George Mason, who plays Ash, doesn't think it's looking good.
Speaking to TV Week, he said: "It doesn't look good for Ash. I think he is a pretty likely suspect.
"They find out he lied about where he was. It is a pretty hectic interview. Kat has got to be a cop so it is always going to be a tough one.
"She knows it doesn't look good for him, but she has still got to ask the questions.
