On Thursday, before Judge Mr Justice Bennathan excluded the evidence from the trial, ruling it “too prejudicial” and of “limited relevance”, it was claimed that “violent misogyny promoted” by Andrew Tate had in part “fuelled” Kyle Clifford’s murderous rampage last July.
Prosecutor Alison Morgan KC told the court that the 26-year-old ex-soldier had searched for Tate’s podcast less than 24 hours before his attack on ex-girlfriend Louise Hunt, her sister Hannah and mum Carol in Bushey, Hertfordshire, suggesting a link between the show and Clifford’s subsequent actions.
