Facebook shuts pages on Jill’s killer

A number of Facebook pages targeting the man accused of killing Jill Meagher in Melbourne last month have finally been removed.

There had been fears that the pages, which gave details about Adrian Bayley’s background and also incited hate against him, could prejudice a fair trial against him. He is accused of the rape and murder of the 29-year-old Drogheda woman.

He is due to appear in court again on Jan 18.
