A Chorley man has been arrested for making a sick ‘joke’ about missing youngster, April Jones, on Facebook

I have been doing a bit of digging to “out” this disgusting and pathetic excuse of a man and found his F.B profile. Here is 19 year old Matthew Woods from Chorley, Lancashire.

He joked on his F.B that he had 5 year old April Jones in the back of his van and also made comments regarding missing Madeleine McCann. (His comment has now been deleted)

He sees himself as a bit of a joker on his Facebook page

And he finds out that most normal people don’t find his joke about missing April Jones funny at all

He has realised that the whole country is now baying for his blood so puts out this status

Notice that he put out the above status on Thursday, but if you look at more recent posts he still finds the whole thing a joke

What a f*cking idiot. Let’s hope the police come down on him hard and refer him to a psychiatrist when he’s released, he’s obviously not right in the head.

Matthew Wood, 20, of Eaves Lane, Chorley, was arrested at an address in Brinscall on Saturday after going on the run when a ‘joke’ made about the youngster sparked outrage on social networking website, Facebook.

He will appear before magistrates in Chorley on Monday morning.

A Lancashire Police spokesman said: “An arrest was made at an address in Brinscall on Saturday and we can confirm we have charged Matthew Wood with breaching Section 27 of the Communications Act, namely sending a public electronic communication which is grossly offensive.

“He has been remanded in custody and will appear before Chorley Magistrates Court on Monday.”

The posting about the abducted five-year-old, which also relates to the missing youngster Madeleine McCann, was made on Mr Wood’s Facebook account on Thursday.

On Saturday, Dyfed Powys Police confirmed they have charged mechanic Mark Bridger, 46, with the abduction and murder of April.

He is also accused of perverting the course of justice and will appear before Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

The five-year-old remains missing despite an intensive, ongoing search for the youngster who was last seen playing on her bike at 7.30pm on Monday near her home in Machynlleth, Wales.

*((This blog was intended to show the public things that were already in the public domain should they have chosen to search for themselves. By doing this blog on Matthew Woods does not mean that I support his imprisonment. I believe what Woods did was disgusting, but should he have been imprisoned? If I’m honest the answer would be no, he shouldn’t have been imprisoned. I also believe that the Communications Act needs a full and thorough review))*
