Johnpaul Digweed, a prisoner serving a 25-year sentence, is found dead in his cell while being linked to supplying drugs from prison. Scottish outlet the Daily Record reports he was making about £500,000 every two months and that he was supplying drugs to fellow inmates before his death.
BBC News reports that a separate investigation described Digweed as earning around £500,000 and involved in organising drug deliveries using drones into HMP Garth. Both accounts focus on the scale of alleged earnings and the alleged ability to continue drug supply from inside the prison. The reporting differs in emphasis: the Daily Record highlights distributing drugs to other inmates and the “every two months” figure, while the BBC highlights drone-related delivery operations into the prison.
The reports indicate that investigations are examining Digweed’s activities and the circumstances around his death, including how drugs were allegedly able to reach inmates.
