SIX months after a Facebook profile purporting to belong to jailed mass murderer Martin Bryant caused widespread community concern, a vicious international internet campaign is accusing two local police officers of being the real killers.
A conspiracy theorist based in Austria, and claiming to be a former Tasmanian, is writing a book about the massacre in which he claims Bryant is the innocent victim of a killing spree planned and carried out by the government and police.
While Port Arthur conspiracies abound online, Keith Noble is making sure his views reach audiences far beyond the confines of the internet conspiracy community.
Noble has been emailing chapters of his book to major media outlets, federal and state government ministers, justice officials and police officers who attended the massacre at Port Arthur on April 28, 1996.
One of the former officers being accused by Noble is Mike Dyson.
"I knew I had to do something about it when he sent a letter to my daughter's house suggesting I should kill myself," Mr Dyson said.
Noble's accusations come six months after Mr Dyson led the charge against a fake Facebook profile purporting to belong to Bryant.
Now he and his former colleagues are being described as active participants in the killing spree that left 35 people dead.
Mr Dyson and another police officer are repeatedly named in Noble's emails as the gunmen, with the author claiming the two officers dragged an innocent Bryant into the Seascape Cottage and tried to burn him alive.
Yesterday was Bryant's 46th birthday.
Noble released an email to mark the occasion, again naming Mr Dyson as the real murderer and calling for Bryant's release.
After failing to get a reasonable response from the author, Mr Dyson yesterday contacted City of Vienna officials to advise them of the potentially criminal campaign. "This person has sent surface mail postmarked in Vienna to members of my family and has a large email list ... to which he is continually sending written material in which he claims that I am responsible for the mass shooting at Port Arthur in Tasmania," he wrote.
Attorney-General Brian Wightman said yesterday the former officer had his full support.
