Moore ran a theatre and
cinema in north Wales, apparently fixating on Jason
Voorhies from the F13 movie series.
He murdered and
mutilated 4 men in 1995, the bodies found near small rural
towns.
Moore's first victim was Henry Roberts, 56, stabbed to
death at his home in Anglesey in September 1995.
His next victim, Edward Carthy, 28, was stabbed and buried
in a forest after meeting Moore in a gay bar.
Keith Randles, 49, a traffic safety manager, was similarly
killed as he slept in his caravan at road works on the A5
in Anglesey in November 1995.
Mr Randles had begged to know why he was being attacked
after Moore dragged him from his caravan and started
stabbing him. Moore had replied: "For fun." Moore later
told police there was "a certain enjoyment" in the
killing.
The last man to die was Tony Davies, 40, a married father
of two. He was stabbed at a beach near Abergele on the
north Wales coast in December 1995.
At his trial, it was
claimed that Moore attacked more than 50 other men in what
the judge described as "20 years of terror". Moore claimed
the killings were carried out by a fictitious homosexual
lover named Jason, after the masked murderer from the
Friday the 13th horror films.
He received four life sentences but the home secretary
later recommended that he should never be released.

At Leeds Crown Court on
Thursday 27th April 2000, Moore listed property he claimed

arrested.
Chester District Judge Charles Newman awarded Moore
£12,842 damages for the loss of the possessions ranging
from antique furniture, 900 cinema posters and jewellery
to Wellington boots, cans of food and garden gnomes. He
was also awarded costs.
