A Facebook page targeting a film-maker who made provocative comments about a soldier killed in Afghanistan, attracting rape and death threats against the film-maker, is to be shut down. Former soldier Ted Grainger, who created the page in which more than 21,000 people joined, has declared "mission complete". Barbara Sumner-Burstyn, a Canadian now living in New Zealand, on her Facebook page last week accused Lance Corporal Jacinda Baker of "killing innocent people".
