A MONSTER who filmed himself raping and torturing children and babies in the Philippines has been charged with such horrific crimes there have been calls for the reintroduction of the death penalty.
Peter Scully, a 53-year-old father of two from Melbourne, Australia, is in a Philippine prison charged with some of the vilest acts known to humanity.
During court hearings and while being filmed in prison he has been seen laughing and joking about his alleged crimes.
His former lawyer Alejandra Jose Pallugna has revealed Scully treats jail like a holiday and has demanded a mobile phone and fresh meat for dinner.
But that may change now the Philippines is considering putting him before a firing squad.
And it is the fate of one victim in particular that has prompted appalled Filipino prosecutors to call for Scully’s execution.
Shocking details can be revealed about the five-year-old girl who Scully hung upside down as he raped and tortured her with two accomplices.
Recording on videos which he then sold to paedophiles around the world, Scully also sexually abused a baby, and filmed his torture and rape of young girls as he made them dig their own graves.
Filipino police say Scully also buried a 11-year-old under the floor of a house he was renting after making a film of him raping her and strangling her to death.
Now the Philippines may reinstate the death penalty as the only punishment appropriate for Scully’s “heinous crimes”.
Capital punishment was outlawed in 1986 at the end of the brutal Marcos regimen, but assisted by widespread poverty, the country has become a hub of a billion-dollar, global child cybersex industry.
According to a Fairfax report, during a court hearing where he faced the first six of 75 charges, Scully laughed and joked with his co-accused, who include four men, Christian Rouche, Alexander Lao, and Marshall Ruskin and Haniel Caetano de Oliveira.
Chief Philippine prosecutor Jaime Umpa told Fairfax that Scully was the mastermind of an extreme child sex and torture video syndicate based in the southern cities of Surigao, Cagayan de Oro and Malaybalay.
Scully fled to the Philippines from Australia in 2011 after he was charged with fraud.
Scully lured children away from impoverished parents with the promise of food and education or used teenage girl accomplices to kidnap them.
He then drugged the children and made films of him raping and torturing them for an international paedophile ring.
