Paedophile stabbed neighbour to death for exposing him as 'a Gary Glitter' before dying hours later from heart attack

A paedophile stabbed his neighbour to death for threatening to expose him as 'a Gary Glitter', then went home and suffered a fatal heart attack, an inquest heard today. Both men’s bodies lay undiscovered in Braintree, Essex, for 10 days. Lorry driver Richard Wight, 55, was found stabbed to death at his house in Eagle Lane, Braintree on January 15 this year. Before his death, Mr Wight told his brother he had discovered child porn on his neighbour Alan Taylor’s computer. Detectives believe Mr Wight had stuck a note on Mr Taylor’s window describing him as Gary Glitter - a reference to the musician's conviction for child sex offences. It is thought former charity worker Mr Taylor, 59, attacked Mr Wight in his garden on January 5, smashing a glass bottle over his head and stabbing him in the neck and chest with an eight-inch hunting knife. Police believe Mr Taylor then went home, deleted 37 child porn files from his computer, and suffered a fatal heart attack.
