A pedophile's throat was slit by his drinking partner after he boasted about sexually abusing a six-year-old child, a court heard. The jury at the Old Bailey was told that 48-year-old Christopher McMahon left his friend, 50-year-old David Potter, dead face down on the floor of his apartment in Tooting, South London, after he stabbed him repeatedly in the early morning of August 21 last year.

Potter, who had previous sex offenses against children, was only found dead five days later after the police forced entry into his home when a friend became worried.

The jury was told that after the incident took place, McMahon went to his on-off partner's house still covered in his alleged victim's blood and told her: "I've done it". According to the Daily Mail, prosecutor Sarah Whitehouse QC told the jurors: "Mr. McMahon said he had slit a man's throat and indeed he had."
