TV 'psychic' to UK's most wanted

[muriel_volestrangler]

Convicted child rapist Martin Smith appeared on television three years ago as a guest on the Living satellite channel's popular Most Haunted programme.

Styling himself as a medium, he was invited to go ghost-hunting and investigate paranormal occurrences at Brougham Hall near Penrith in 2007.

But by the end of that year he was on the run soon to be one of the UK's most wanted men, setting off a chain of events which would lead to the tragic deaths of his two young children.

Cumbria County Council confirmed Ms Smith had worked in its children's department, responsible for out-of-school activities but did not directly work with children.

A tragic case. But note that a child rapist decides to call himself a 'psychic' to earn some money. After all, he's experienced at deceiving people.

1. "But what's the harm?"

That always rings in my ears when I read stories like this. Sad.
