Australian gigolo Shane Maurice Chartres-Abbott, 28, stood trial for raping a client and drinking her blood. He had told her he was a vampire who drank blood to stay alive. After the attack, in which a chunk of the woman's tongue was ripped out, her mobile 'phone was found in his bag. Her blood was on his jacket, the court was told. The gigolo, for his part, insisted that the truth was simpler: the woman had wanted him to be part of a snuff movie in which he would die. He said she decided against it because she liked him.
His lawyer, Alan Hands, applied for Chartres-Abbott's name to be suppressed due to the male prostitute's fears of embarrassment and possible retribution. Judge Bill White ruled that there was no evidence of a threat to Chartres-Abbott's life. He later sent the jury home early because the accused's address appeared on evidence they were to be shown. As Chartres-Abbott left his home in northern Melbourne for court, two attackers rushed up the driveway. Shot twice in the neck, he died.
