'Paedophile hunters' confronted man - days later he killed himself

A [29-year-old] man committed suicide days after a group of "paedophile hunters" [called Letzgo Hunting] accused him of sexually grooming a child over the internet. [...]

The man was released on bail while officers looked into the accusations. He was found hanging in his home, in the Market Bosworth area, four days later. [...]

[W]hen they [paedophile hunters] believe they have evidence the men are sexually attracted to children, agree to meet them in public places while still posing as the teenage girl. [...] They film the encounters and post the footage online, before passing their material - including transcripts of online conversations - to police.
