Holly Willoughby kidnap accused was on 'Abduct Lovers' group, court hears

An undercover agent has told a court how he exchanged messages with a man accused of plotting to murder Holly Willoughby on a group called Abduct Lovers and believed he was an 'imminent threat'. The US police officer began giving evidence on Thursday in the trial of 37-year-old Essex man Gavin Plumb. Using the alias David Nelson and appearing anonymously via video link, he said his job was to infiltrate social media to look for suspected kidnapping and human trafficking.

He also allegedly shared video of his kidnap kit and bottles of chloroform - a liquid that can make someone unconscious. 'Earlier in the conversation he had indicated he had chloroform,' Nelson told the court. 'It was not present in that photo of his abduction kit - I asked where the chloroform was and he sent a picture. 'At that point in the conversation it was quite alarming,' he added.
