A MONSTER who murdered his daughter after she accused him of sexual abuse was a fantasist with a string of lovers, his family say.
Scott Walker slaughtered 17-year-old Bernadatte Walker, whose body has never been found, on July 18 last year.
The 51-year-old then formed an "unholy alliance" with Bernadette's mum Sarah Walker to make it look like she was still alive and had run away.
Walker, who was not Bernadette's biological dad, cooked up the "devious, wicked" plot to kill her after the teen told her mum he had been sexually abusing her.
He was yesterday found guilty of murder and two counts of perverting the course of justice.
Bernadette's mum Sarah Walker was convicted of two counts of perverting the course of justice.
FANTASY WORLD
Walker's stepson Anthony, 19, has told how the fiend was "emotionally and physically abusive" to all the family and had "wives and girlfriends all over the place", Daily Mail reports.
His internet history has also painted him as a creep who made up different aliases to live in a self-indulgent fantasy world.
The unemployed scrounger claimed he was a professional gambler called the "Telegraph Tipster" with an expert knowledge in horse racing.
He also pretended he was the holder of an American degree known as an Associate of Arts and Sciences (AAS).
Leading up to Bernadette's murder, Walker began wearing a black baseball cap marked "Police" and regularly sported dark aviator sunglasses.
It was this fantasy world that helped Walker spin an elaborate web of lies to dupe police into believing Bernadette was still alive.
MURDEROUS PLOT
The depraved dad claimed he was driving Bernadette home from her grandparents' when she ran off while he rolled a cigarette
Along with Sarah Walker, he then sent messages from her phone and social media accounts after reporting her missing to "lay a false trail".
He even posted desperate appeals for information on social media and begged Bernadette to let him know she was OK.
But as police probed her disappearance, the chilling truth began to unravel.
Bernadette, who called Walker 'Dad', had told her mum he had been "sexually abusing her over a number of years".
She also said he spied on her undressing using cameras hidden in the bathroom and touched her inappropriately in a games room.
The teen was sent to her grandparents' home in Peterborough after the sickening allegations were made and was said to be "very upset".
'RATHER BE AN OPRHAN'
A harrowing diary entry written by Bernadette revealed her torment at the abuse.
The undated entry said: "Told my mum about my dad and the abuse. She called me a liar and threatened to kill me if I told the police.
"She said that the other kids matter more. I love feeling unwanted. I feel nothing right now cause I always thought mum would deal with [sic] and it would all go away.
"But no, he's still here telling me I made it up.
"What kind of parent wouldn't believe their daughter?
"But it's fine, I'm going to pretend it's okay till I leave home then I will block them out of my life.
"I'd rather say I'm an orphan than say I have abusive parents who couldn't give a sh*t about me or what happens to me.
"If I was brave enough I probably would have already left, or just killed myself."
Shockingly, Walker's ex-wife Jill has now revealed how Walker actually met Bernadette when she was just three years old.
The couple had moved in next to Sarah Walker in 2006 and the vile pair soon started up an affair.
But Jill was relieved when Sarah and Walker got together as it meant she could finally escape his clutches.
She told the Daily Mail: "Maybe I could have saved Bernadette.
"I have immense feelings of guilt about being able to save her if I'd warned Sarah more. I told Sarah not to move. I told her that he would alienate her from her friends and family and taking her away would make this worse.
"Knowing he has murdered Bernadette has shaken my world to the core. How can you process the fact that somebody you are legally married to has killed a child?"
