A jailed killer has sent disgraced comedian and convicted sex offender Russell Brand a chilling message from behind bars.
Drill rapper Terngu Agera, 35, known by his rap name Mover, is serving a minimum term of 30 years after stabbing Lithuanian builder Zydrunas Laurinavicius to death in front of his father, outside a North London school in 2014.
Threat Posted on Smuggled Phone
In Snapchat images obtained by The Sun, Agera posted a veiled threat to Brand from HMP Frankland in Durham, on a mobile phone he managed to sneak behind bars. He previously released rap music from prison, including a track recorded on a phone inside HMP Belmarsh, where he was previously imprisoned.
Now he has posted a blurry image that appeared to be taken through the window of his jail cell on a smuggled phone, with the caption: “Russell Brand you naughty boy, we’ll be seeing you son.”
Brand's Imprisonment and Safety Concerns
Brand is currently imprisoned at HMP Wandsworth, where he began a 10-and-a-half-year sentence this week after being found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault.
Brand is unlikely to come face-to-face with Agera, who is at a separate prison, as he is currently being held in a segregation unit away from Wandsworth’s general population.
But Agera’s connections to other prisoners could land Brand in trouble, as worries mount that he could become the “most targeted lag” on the vulnerable person’s wing, known as The Block.
Segregation and Regime
He reportedly arrived at the unit to chants of “there’s a new n***e on the wing”.
The Sun claimed prison bosses carried out a Cell-Sharing Risk Assessment on Brand and opted to house him alone over fears for his safety. He has been placed on a ‘standard’ regime, meaning he is allowed £19.80 per week to spend in the canteen.
A source claimed to the publication: “Brand has been put in a cell and is being kept away from other inmates because he is in real danger due to his offences, his wealth and who he is.
“Some of the officers and inmates will be excited to have a celebrity in there. But a lot of the cons would want to do him some damage, so he will not be allowed to mix in Wandsworth, and it will be safer for him.
“They will want to ship him out as soon as possible. He will find prison food pretty awful and have to supplement it by buying stuff.”
