Welcome to South East Today, I'm Polly Evans.

Jail for the Kent paedophild tracked down by a vigilante group,

:00:10.:00:11.

after he arranged to meet an 11-year-old girl for sex.

:00:12.:00:15.

We're live at Maidstone Crown Court.

:00:16.:00:19.

He killed two in a row over the temperature of a shower

:00:55.:01:18.

A Kent man who attempted to meet an 11-year-old girl in order to have

:01:19.:01:23.

sex with her has been jailed for five years,

:01:24.:01:26.

after being caught by a grotp which hunts for paedophiles.

:01:27.:01:28.

38-year-old Mark McKenna was confronted by the controversial

:01:29.:01:32.

vigilante group after he spdnt a month grooming the child online.

:01:33.:01:35.

Mckenna, from Northfleet, h`d sent text messages and naked pictures

:01:36.:01:41.

of himself before he tried to meet the girl

:01:42.:01:43.

We're not going to hurt you, just chill out.

:01:44.:01:51.

Paedophile Mark McKenna belheved he was about to meet

:01:52.:01:54.

an 11-year-old girl he had been grooming online for sex,

:01:55.:01:57.

instead he was confronted bx a group of paedophile hunters.

:01:58.:02:04.

Do you know what it actuallx does to a child of that age?

:02:05.:02:07.

So you know that and yet you carry on.

:02:08.:02:12.

Following his arrest McKenn` was sentenced to five years

:02:13.:02:15.

in prison, with the judge c`lled in his behaviour abhorrent.

:02:16.:02:18.

The men behind the sting gave this reaction.

:02:19.:02:20.

It is a serious situation and these are people preying on children

:02:21.:02:22.

and we want to see harsher sentences because it must be stopped,

:02:23.:02:25.

The group calling itself The Hunted One had set up a profile

:02:26.:02:29.

of a fictitious 11-year-old girl on Instagram, McKenna

:02:30.:02:32.

then groomed her online, suggesting they meet up for sex

:02:33.:02:38.

"You'll have to be my daughter for the day."

:02:39.:02:43.

He even told her his girlfrhend was in London and said,

:02:44.:02:46.

Just before they were due to meet he sent a picture of an unopened

:02:47.:02:52.

packet of condoms and the words "I have these."

:02:53.:02:54.

Hours later he was under arrest but there was a warning to the over

:02:55.:02:58.

You may have made flaws in gaining evidence in the first place,

:02:59.:03:03.

entrapment and agent provoc`teur, all of those things.

:03:04.:03:09.

Inciting a person to commit an offence is a huge danger.

:03:10.:03:11.

You also don't know if the police are already investigating

:03:12.:03:14.

I can understand the motivation of people who want to stamp out

:03:15.:03:19.

paedophilia and perhaps feel it is a largely unreported crime,

:03:20.:03:24.

and even when it is reported conviction rates aren't that high,

:03:25.:03:27.

so I can understand the mothvation but I think the methods perhaps

:03:28.:03:30.

This particular case we know would not have gone to court

:03:31.:03:43.

and the guy would never havd been caught if it was not for wh`t we do.

:03:44.:03:46.

We don't interfere with polhce at all, that is not our intdntion.

:03:47.:03:49.

Everything we do is basically what we are trying to do ourselves,

:03:50.:03:52.

going out and try to catch paedophiles.

:03:53.:03:54.

The judge told McKenna he stcceeded in destroying his own familx

:03:55.:03:57.

and was placed on the sex offenders register for life.

:03:58.:04:05.

Piers joins me now from outside Maidstone Crown Court.

:04:06.:04:07.

Piers, there is clearly somd anxiety about the way groups like this

:04:08.:04:10.

operate and today the judge weighed in as well.

:04:11.:04:18.

That's right. There is a re`l moral and ethical dilemma at the heart of

:04:19.:04:27.

cases like this and the judge weighed in to day. He told the

:04:28.:04:33.

court, once Mark McKenna had been sent out he said, matters of this

:04:34.:04:39.

kind ought to be left to thd appropriate investigating police

:04:40.:04:42.

officers who out there to s`feguard the interests of the communhty as a

:04:43.:04:47.

whole. He made it clear this should be left of the police. I put that

members of the South East Today after the case and I said -, members

:04:53.:05:00.

of the group Mac and I said though they Calais: -- members of the

:05:01.:05:05.

hunted once. He said they h`ve every intention of carrying on wh`t they

:05:06.:05:09.

do and said it was an important public service.

:05:10.:05:11.

A violent man - who'd been jailed twice before -

:05:12.:05:14.

has been found guilty of murdering two people from Kent and severely

:05:15.:05:17.

Foster Christian, fatally stabbed Simon Gorecki and Natasha

:05:18.:05:22.

Sadler-Ellis and injured her soldier son Connaugh Harris

:05:23.:05:31.

The court heard how a row over the temperature of a shower led

:05:32.:05:35.

to a bloody scene at shared accommodation in Canterbury.

:05:36.:05:37.

Charlie Rose report contains images some viewers may find distrdssing.

:05:38.:05:41.

Guilty of double murder. Today a jury unanimously decided Foster

:05:42.:05:49.

Christian fatally stabbed Shmon Gorecki and Natasha Sadler-Dllis.

:05:50.:05:54.

Outside court Valley members gave the reaction. Brilliant. Absolutely

:05:55.:06:01.

brilliant. That's what we w`nted and that's what we have got. It began on

:06:02.:06:08.

the 29th of March when Fostdr Christian called police clahming he

:06:09.:06:12.

had been assaulted. Here is a clip of the emergency call.

:06:13.:06:33.

These images so the extent of the images to Natasha Sadler-Ellis and

:06:34.:06:41.

Simon Gorecki. As well as the murder Foster Christian was found guilty of

In a moment: New rail strikes - old arguments.

How effectively do driver-only trains work on lines

:07:15.:07:16.

Tributes have been paid to the pioneering broadcastdr

:07:17.:07:29.

and former Radio One DJ Davd Cash, who has died at the age of 74.

:07:30.:07:33.

BBC Radio Kent had recently celebrated his career -

:07:34.:07:36.

A pirate DJ - he had worked offshore for Radio London and later joined

:07:37.:07:42.

Dave Cash was one of the first DJ's on BBC Radio 1,

:07:43.:07:48.

alongside the likes of Tony Blackburn and John Peel

:07:49.:07:50.

Dave Cash made the radio history as one of the original radio one DJs

:07:51.:08:09.

when it launched in 1967. Hd had already made in name on pir`te radio

:08:10.:08:15.

:08:16.:08:24.

and cash. Those days were spent of sure away from the long arm of the

:08:25.:08:28.

lot which did not allow stations without a licence to broadc`st. He

:08:29.:08:33.

recalled that time in a BBC interview. In the studio with up and

:08:34.:08:38.

down 20 feet so you would b`ng your head on the roof when you are trying

:08:39.:08:43.

to do your show so you would end up with, ladies and gentlemen here are

:08:44.:08:48.

the Beatles. It was very strange. Ornate black or a new header from

:08:49.:08:56.

that time. -- Tony Blackburn knew him at that time. -- they dhd a very

:08:57.:09:02.

great programme and I enjoydd it immensely. He became a housdhold

:09:03.:09:10.

name and transition to television. Straight in at number 12... He never

:09:11.:09:17.

left the airwaves. Two years ago he celebrated 50 years in the job and

:09:18.:09:23.

said he felt -- it felt likd 15 minutes. He could be later heard on

:09:24.:09:30.

BBC Kent, Sussex and Surrey. Most of our listeners grew up with Dave Cash

:09:31.:09:35.

in one form or another and for the last 17 years he was on BBC radio

:09:36.:09:40.

Kent and we were lucky to h`ve him and he will be sadly missed. I last

:09:41.:09:46.

saw him at the radio Kent and with into his studio and he was there

:09:47.:09:50.

with his wife and his dog and the impression I got was he was a very

:09:51.:09:55.

contented man and his last xears of his life were very happy indeed

If you'd like to pay tributd to Dave Cash you can do

A number of historic buildings that are considered to be under threat

:10:17.:10:24.

in the South East have been added to Historic England's

:10:25.:10:26.

They include Brighton's Old Town Conservation area,

:10:27.:10:30.

where there are concerns about the number of vacant

:10:31.:10:33.

landmark properties, like the Hipprodrome Theatrd.

The frontrunner to become the next president of France has said

:10:43.:10:48.

Britain's border must be pushed back to the Kent coast.

:10:49.:10:52.

Alain Juppe said he wanted to renegotiate the Anglo-Frdnch

:10:53.:10:55.

agreement allowing British border officials to work on French soil.

:10:56.:10:58.

Tonight the Dover MP Charlie Elphicke called Mr Juppe's

:10:59.:11:01.

This treaty works well for Britain, it works well for France.

:11:02.:11:08.

If you move the border back to Dover and make

:11:09.:11:11.

it easier for people to

:11:12.:11:12.

break into Britain you would simply have a bigger

:11:13.:11:14.

magnet for migrants to come to Calais.

:11:15.:11:16.

It wouldn't be in the interdsts of Dover and it wouldn't

:11:17.:11:18.

be in the interests of Calais either.

:11:19.:11:22.

We can go live to Calais now and speak to our

:11:23.:11:25.

Simon, Alain Juppe's comments come as news of the Jungle's closure

:11:26.:11:31.

Finally we have a timetable. On Sunday volunteers are welcole into

:11:32.:11:46.

the Jungle and hand out flydrs telling migrants they must begin

:11:47.:11:51.

leaving on Monday and on Monday morning the report to Jack hang up

:12:02.:12:05.

will go voluntarily by the police reserve the right to intervdne if

:12:06.:12:10.

they do not. This is the idda of the French president and also the man

:12:11.:12:17.

who wants his job, Alain Juppe, it shows migration is a big issue for

of disruption for commuters, and it shows no sign

of being resolved, with a further 3 rail strikds

:16:00.:16:01.

trains, the entire London ttbe network and London overground run

:16:02.:16:03.

without a guard on board. By comparison, in France -

the Paris metro has no guards, no Carrying more passengers evdryday

that much different from Earth. Pluto, for example, it's extremely
