A father detained for 'killing a paedophile' who 'raped' his daughter aged just eight years old should not face a murder charge, insist Russians in a groundswell of support.

Alleged child sex attacker Oleg Sviridov, 32, kept mobile phone videos of his abuse of several children in Vintai village in the Russia's Samara region, according to law enforcement officials. 

Rocket engine factory worker Vyacheslav M, 34, was drinking with his friend Sviridov, when he saw footage on the man's phone showing him raping Vyacheslav's daughter, now nine. 

The father immediately confronted Sviridov, who ran away before Vyacheslav could act. The paedophile was a close friend of Vyacheslav's family and had baby-sat his daughter whom he sexually abused on multiple occasions.

Vyacheslav reported the rapes to local police who launched a manhunt for Sviridov.

But the distraught father managed to track down the alleged paedophile before the local police force and stabbed him to death.

Vyacheslav later told police that Sviridov had 'stumbled on the knife during a quarrel' in a forest near the village, purporting that he had not intentionally murdered him with the blade.

The body of the alleged paedophile was found near the village on Thursday, more than a week after Vyacheslav had seen the abusive video.

Vyacheslav was detained following the discovery of the body and the case is under investigation.

Criminal cases have also been opened into the sexual abuse of three children filmed on Sviridov's mobile.
