PETALING JAYA: A pastor in India revealed how serial paedophile Richard Huckle targeted his orphanage in Bangalore when he received an email volunteering his services.
George Fernandes, 37, told The Daily Mail that Huckle enquired whether he could volunteer at the New Hope for Children Orphanage as he would be travelling to India.
Fernandes said he had accepted Huckle’s offer but at that time was unaware of the crimes that he was capable of.
He said he later realised that Huckle just wanted access to the children and was shocked to read what he had done.
In the email dated in June 2013, Huckle said he “is originally from UK but am studying an IT degree in Malaysia.”
