A conspiracy theorist claimed Lee Rigby’s murder was a hoax and taunted his family by publishing their address online, a court has heard.
Chris Spivey, 52, allegedly made a string of outrageous claims about the soldier, including that his family were involved in a conspiracy with M15 to incite anti-Islamic propaganda.
The court heard how the tattoo artist and self-styled internet journalist even claimed that Fusilier Rigby did not exist and that his relatives had doctored their family pictures. He also allegedly accused the 25-year-old of being a rapist and said his wife Amy West was involved in the ‘hoax’.
Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court heard how Spivey made the bizarre accusations on his website where he regularly publishes opinions about world events.
The court heard how he first began taunting Fusilier Rigby’s mother the day after her son was murdered in Woolwich, south east London, in May 2013. Mail online article 30th July 2015

RIVERA, JUAN: Oddee online -
You never committed the crime, but the cops broke you down so much psychologically during their interrogation that you were coerced into confessing, netting you 20 years in prison that you didn’t deserve.
That’s what happened to Juan Rivera, who was exonerated in 2012 of his wrongful conviction and imprisonment for the 1992 rape and murder of an 11-year-old girl in Waukegan, Illinois.
Rivera was found guilty three times, even though DNA evidence linked the sexual contact with another person. Each conviction was consequently reversed, and the third reversal finally stuck when a judge ruled that he could no longer be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
