'You're going to be terrorised': Inmates send threats from jail
“When I get out you’re going to be terrorised.”
Those were the chilling words from inmates of a UK prison sending a haunting message to an unknown victim on the outside.
In a video filmed from inside HMP Swaleside in Kent, convicted killer James ‘Boy’ Ward and a fellow inmate make the threats in front of a smuggled mobile phone camera.
Ward, who is serving a 32-year sentence for arranging the death of his cousin, can be seen making thuggish hand signs while his friend voices the threat.
The shirtless men tense their muscles and give shout outs to their neighbourhoods before the video cuts off.
Ward was jailed in 2014 over the shooting for his cousin Thomas Ward during a violent family feud spanning three decades.
The court heard Ward had phone his victim and issued him a haunting warning.
“It’s me, your enemy.
“I’m going to wait until you are at your happiest, then I’m going to get you.”
Five days after Thomas’ daughter was born, a group of masked men entered his home and gunned him down.
The feud allegedly began in 1987 – before Thomas was even born – when his father, James was involved in a car accident.
Another relative, Micky Ward, was killed in the crash, with many family member laying the blame on James.
Six years later, the situation escalated even further when James shot Micky’s brother and was jailed for manslaughter.
John ‘Boy’ Ward was the younger brother of the deceased and it is likely the killing of James’ son was an act of revenge.
The threatening video was posted to messaging app WhatsApp and was obtained by UK publication Sunday People.
