THE Warrnambool grave of a disgraced paedophile priest has been vandalised in an apparent attack by one of his victims.

The words “Australia (sic) most polific (sic) paedophile” have been spray-painted in red across the site’s marble slab.

Former police detective Denis Ryan, who unsuccessfully pursued charges against Monsignor John Day, said yesterday he was not surprised at the attack.

“If they dug the bastard up and burnt him, I would not care,” Ryan said.

The words written on the grave were borrowed from the book Unholy Trinity that Ryan released earlier this year.
