How killer Lewis Daynes trolled victim Breck Bednar’s mum from comfort of his prison cell and the authorities are unable to stop him

Online gamer, who groomed schoolboy, 14, has been using banned blogs to target Lorin LaFave

A TWISTED killer used an internet blog to taunt the mum of his victim - claiming she abused her son and lied about her grief.

Lewis Daynes got life last year for grooming then murdering online gamer Breck Bednar, 14.

But the former IT engineer, 20, has been sneering at his mum Lorin LaFave in two Google blogs, despite a ban on prisoners using social media.

In one he claims her violent alcoholism wrecked Breck’s self-esteem, adding: “I believe this is why he formed this strong emotional attachment to me.”

His evil blog claimed Breck suffered "severe abuse at home" and said Lorin once left him alone while she went on holiday with her boyfriend.

Daynes, from Grays, Essex, also brands her claim of being “unable to get out of bed for a year” after the 2014 murder as “simply untrue”.

Mum-of-four Lorin, 47, of Caterham, Surrey, reported him to police for harassment but was told that no action will be taken.

She fumed: “The things he is saying are so hurtful. It makes a mockery of the system, that a murderer serving life can actually do this from inside a prison. It is another twist of the knife.”

Daynes’ cell is thought to have been searched several times for devices but nothing was found. A Prison Service spokesman said: “If they break the rules they will be disciplined.”

Essex Police said “there was insufficient evidence to charge anyone”, while Google suggested Lorin “resolve any disputes directly with the individual”.
