Ashling Murphy’s murderer complained to prison staff of after he was moved to a shared cell in an overcrowded Midlands jail and given a mattress to sleep on, reports the Independent.
The 33-yr-old, who was jailed for life last month for murdering teacher Ashling Murphy, was moved from a single cell in C1 – a landing reserved for prisoners with mental health problems – to E2 on Thursday last week.
However, according to sources, when Puska was informed that he would be sleeping on a mattress because the bunks in his new cell were already occupied by two other inmates, her complained.
Within 80 minutes of threatening to call his lawyers, Puska was returned to a single cell in C1.
“A decision was made locally to move him out of the cell on C1,” a source told the Sunday World, “because he was behaving in a completely normal manner and did not appear to be a danger to himself or other inmates. The single occupancy cells on that landing would be reserved by and large for inmates with obvious mental health issues,” reports Independent.
