Killer used ‘military strategy’ in attempt to murder paedophiles

A man accused of murdering a gay supermarket worker embarked on a campaign against uncaught paedophiles using “military strategy” to track them down after overhearing convicted prisoners planning new offences while in prison, a court heard.

Christopher Hunnisett, who is on trial accused of killing supermarket worker Peter Bick, told the court he used the internet and “live sources” — some made in prison — to investigate rumours of child abuse.

He assigned possible offenders militaristic “call signs” depending on the strength of evidence against them, he said.
