MURDERED pervert Andrew Cunningham was targeted by hate mobs who yelled “Die, paedo, die” at him.

And a police source said: “He was loathed by a large number of people so we have a lot of potential suspects.”

Cunningham, 52, died from multiple stab wounds to the head, neck and chest. And the source revealed: “Damage was caused to his genitals.”

The dead man worked as a trucker for the Riverside Haulage company in Wandsworth, South West London — and lived in a tatty caravan at the firm’s depot.

But his warped lust for children had made him enemies for YEARS.

He spent four months behind bars in 2001 for raping a schoolgirl under 13.

He was arrested again in 2003 but no charges were pressed.

Soon afterwards vigilantes set fire to his former home in a Wandsworth street after discovering he was brazenly grooming kids.

He fled and set up in the caravan. But drinkers at a pub recently accused him of fondling a barmaid’s two-year-old daughter.

And mobs drove past the depot shouting he was scum and a “nonce” who should die.

The police source said his murder was “almost certainly connected to new offences rather than those that took place in 2001”.

Cunningham was a father of five estranged from a former partner.

Police, who believe more than one person was involved in the killing, had to identify him using fingerprints because none of his relatives would go to the morgue.

The pervert’s body was found by his boss after he failed to start work on Wednesday morning.

The employer, who would not give his name, said there was no sign of forced entry at the caravan.

He added: “He had a stab wound in his neck and there was blood everywhere. The bed was soaked with it and his head was lying in it.”

A former neighbour from the Wandsworth street told how Cunningham regularly got a “hiding” from people who knew about his vile behaviour.

Joe Hart, 46, said: “He used to befriend young lads and invite them round, letting them do what they wanted in his home. He’d ask the boys to bring over young girls, then make passes at them.”

Police are studying CCTV film from around the murder scene. And they appealed for anyone who saw anything suspicious to come forward.





*************************

The first thing that struck me about this story was the fact that he received a 4-month sentence for raping a 13 yr old girl.

I also have to admit to thinking: "Good, one less beast on the planet".

I know mob-rule is not the answer, but surely the government have to sit up and take notice of the fact that it's the lenient sentences imposed on these kind of people which lead to this kind of incident.. It's hardly surprising that it got to this point, as the people in the community obviously felt he was a danger to the kids in the community, and probably felt that the police weren't going to do anything to protect the kids.
