A UK security guard planned to abduct, rape and murder TV presenter Holly Willoughby before he was stopped by an undercover police officer, a British court has heard.
Gavin Plumb, 37, is alleged to have spent two years plotting Willoughby's murder, between 2021 and 2023, and is now standing trial at Chelmsford Crown Court, the BBC reports.Outlining the case against Plumb, prosecutor Alison Morgan KC Plumb told the court he had an obsession with the television presenter and planned to take her to his home in Essex before killing her in an abandoned building.
In a March 2023 voice note played in court, Plumb tells Marc he will "hit it" at night when there is less traffic."We're then gonna force her to make a video saying she come with us under her own free will… and she's fully consenting to everything we do to her – so that covers us."The court was also shown a video Plumb sent to the undercover officer.
The video showed a "kit of sexualised paraphernalia" laid out on a bed, including hand and ankle shackles, a rope and a ball gag, the BBC reported. Plumb has been previously convicted on two cases of attempted kidnap and false imprisonment, the jury was told.Two years earlier, he tried to tie up two teenage girls in a Woolworths stock room.
