Kiran Kaur, 53, has been moved to the unit where killer nurse Lucy Letby is held in the "female monster mansion" at HMP Bronzefield. Kaur was sentenced to three years in prison last month for removing the knife her son, 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa, used to murder 18-year-old university student Henry Nowak.
She has been placed in House Block Four at the category A jail near Ashford, Surrey, alongside child killers including Letby, Beinash Batool, and Constance Marten.
Cushty conditions
House Block Four is often used as a place of safety for high-profile inmates. Prisoners there can visit a hair and beauty salon, and cells have ensuite showers, TVs and DVD players. There is also a "nice restaurant" serving Thai green curry, poached eggs on toast and full English breakfasts.
A prison source said: "It's not like a male nick – it's cushty." The source said staff believe Kaur was sent to the unit after she "pretended" she could not speak English to avoid being sent to a main unit.
Court background
Kiran Kaur, 53, was jailed for three years last month after being found guilty in May of assisting an offender by removing a knife from the scene of Henry's murder in Southampton last December. Judge William Mousley told Southampton crown court she "took the knife and put it at home with other weapons" in Digwa's bedroom, adding that "a responsible parent would have challenged their son". The prosecution said her role was "crucial in removing the murder weapon from the scene".
Digwa was jailed for life with a minimum term of 21 years for the student's murder. After fatally stabbing Henry, who was from Essex, Digwa falsely claimed to police that he had been the victim of a racist attack. Police bodycam footage later showed Henry being arrested despite having suffered several stab wounds.
Digwa was sent to HMP Frankland, or Monster Mansion, where reports last week claimed he was "shaking in fear" after being targeted by some of Britain's most notorious inmates.
