A SOCIAL media user claiming to be Gable Tostee has hit back at online critics who wrongly called Mr Tostee a “murderer”, telling them the only thing he murders “is p***y”.
The user made the remark to a woman on his Facebook on Saturday.
The woman commented on a post from which read: “If ‘Benny’ is short for Ben, why is ‘Benny’ longer??”
“Says the murderer with a fake name,” the woman wrote.
“The only thing I murder is p***y,” the user responded.
Supporters rallied to Mr Tostee’s defence, telling the woman to go away.
Others told Mr Tostee that he loves the attention.
Mr Tostee was acquitted last October of murdering New Zealand tourist Warriena Wright in 2014.

Ms Wright, 26, died after she fell from Mr Tostee’s 14th floor Gold Coast apartment balcony after the pair met on Tinder and went on a date.
A new Tinder account in Mr Tostee’s name was activated earlier this month. But it cannot be confirmed whether the profile belongs to Mr Tostee.
The new Tinder profile was spotted by a Gold Coast woman who uses the dating app and recognised the reference to the self-confessed playboy, according to The Gold Coast Bulletin.

It also lists Griffith University as his educational background.

One image shows Mr Tostee lying shirtless in bed and another is of the 31-year-old partaking in a food contest.
“Shhh don’t tell Channel 9,” the profile reads, referring to the media attention surrounding the death of Ms Wright and his subsequent trial.

Mr Tostee has previously accused Channel 9 of having “ruined his life”.
Mr Tostee drew criticism in March after he posted a derogatory post on Facebook to mark International Women’s Day.
“Happy International Women’s Day to all ma hoes!!”, he wrote at the time.
