A founding member of Dark Justice has died, his friend has confirmed.
In a post on their Facebook page, fellow paedophile hunter Scott said Callum had died in a 'tragic accident'.
The duo, whose full names have never been revealed, set up Dark Justice in 2014 and have helped bring more than 100 paedophiles to justice by snaring them online.
Scott also told their followers that he would now be stepping away from Dark Justice in the wake of his close friend's death.
The full post reads: "This is the hardest post I have ever had to make.
"It is with great sadness I have to announce that Callum the co-founder of dark justice sadly lost his life in a tragic accident.
"Myself and his family are very upset and broken by this tragic news.
"And with that I need to tell you that I will also be stepping away from dark justice I have tried to think of a way to continue but sadly without my best friend I can't see my self continuing.
"I would like to thank you all for the amazing support you have shown us over the last 7 years and a thank you to all the other groups out there fighting for the rights of children and in the words of Callum "go get em lads!"
"Rest easy bro until we meet again."
Dark Justice use fake online profiles pretending to be a girl and they tell any men who make contact that they are underage. If an adult persists, Dark Justice arrange a safe location and carry out a sting.
They then notify police and provide evidence to help get the paedophiles convicted at court.
