'That paedo is going to get it': Drunken vigilante's threat to police moments before he knifed child porn suspect to death

Victim: Geoffrey Harries, a former policeman charged with child pornography offences, was allegedly stabbed to death by Daniel Williams

A former police officer facing child porn charges was stabbed to death by a drunken neighbour, a court heard today.

Geoffrey Harries, 49, died after Daniel Williams attacked him in the street with a heavy-duty hunting knife,a jury was told.

Williams, 30, had drunkenly boasted to police that he was going to 'get' Harries moments before carrying out the crime.

'That paedo is going to get it. I'm going to have him,' he reportedly told officers. 'If you don't do something about it then I will.'
