A man agreed to gun down a self-proclaimed vampire gigolo as a favour and to even the score for an alleged rape, a Melbourne court has been told.
Male escort Shane Chartres-Abbott, 28, was gunned down near his Reservoir home in June 2003 as he faced trial for allegedly raping a former client and biting off part of her tongue.
The woman's former boyfriend Mark Adrian Perry, 46, and two other men, Warren Shea, 42, and Evangelos Goussis, 46, have pleaded not guilty to his murder.
A fourth man, who cannot be named, says Shea came to him and told him of the alleged rape in 2003.
"It was in relation to evening the score," the man told the Victorian Supreme Court on Wednesday.
"He weren't too happy about it. The Warren that I knew was a man of honour and it went against his grain.
"I shot Chartres-Abbott as a result of that conversation."
When asked by crown prosecutor Andrew Tinney SC why he had killed Mr Chartres-Abbott, the man replied: "For a favour".
The man said he was given Mr Chartres-Abbott's address by a police officer he knew as "Stash".
He said Detective Peter Lalor served a warrant on him for a traffic offence so he had an alibi on the day of the shooting.
The man said he gave the officer $1500 and said: "Thanks very much. Have a drink."
The trial has previously heard Mr Chartres-Abbott told his alleged victim he was a vampire who needed to drink blood to survive, and he was "older than the city of Melbourne".
Melbourne (AFP) - An Australian man admitted on Wednesday that he killed a male prostitute who styled himself as a "vampire", saying he did so to avenge a woman who was allegedly raped and had part of her tongue bitten off.
The man -- who is appearing as the prosecution's key witness in the high-profile Melbourne trial, and cannot be named for legal reasons -- told the court that he shot 28-year-old sex worker Shane Chartres-Abbott near his suburban home in June 2003.
Three other men are on trial for the murder and have pleaded not guilty.
The unnamed man said he shot Chartres-Abbott after one of the accused, 42-year-old Warren Shea, told him about the escort's alleged rape of the ex-girlfriend of the second defendant, Mark Perry, 46.
The witness told the court that he carried out the shooting as "a favour".
"It was in relation to evening the score," said the man.
"He weren't too happy about it. The Warren that I knew was a man of honour and it went against his grain. I shot Chartres-Abbott as a result of that conversation."
Speaking via videolink from prison, the man claimed that the third defendant, Evangelos Goussis, 46, was with him at the time of the shooting, Melbourne's The Age newspaper reported.
At the time of his death Chartres-Abbott was awaiting trial for the alleged rape and mutilation of the woman in 2002. The murder trial previously heard that he told her he was a 200-year-old vampire who drank blood to survive.
"I was told he made a shocking mess of her, bit hunks out of her and raped her and left her for dead... a terrible act to commit on a female," said the man who admitted to killing Chartres-Abbott.
Chartres-Abbott had pleaded not guilty to the rape, arguing he was the victim of a bizarre counter-plot in which he was being secretly groomed by the woman for a "snuff movie" -- a film showing a real-life killing -- that was to end with his death.
