OMAHA, Neb. —

Less than a day after news media received an email about the killing of a convicted sex offender, Omaha police said Tuesday James Fairbanks, 43, was arrested for criminal homicide.

The email from sender "Stop Predators," said "I killed Matteio Condoluci Thursday May 14th."

The anonymous sender said he or she had been looking for an apartment in the area when he discovered Condoluci on the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry. The sender described Condoluci as standing in his driveway pretending to wash his truck while staring at a group of children playing in the street.

"Having had my own experience with these type of predators I knw the damage he would do to those kids," wrote the emailer.

"I've worked with kids for years who have been victimized and I couldnt (sic) in good conscience allow him to do it to anyone else while I had the means to stop him".

The emailer also wrote "I know in this messed up judicial system that means I will face far more severe punishment for stopping him then (sic) he did for raping KIDS."

Condoluci was convicted in Sarpy County 13 years ago of sexual assault of a child.
