A convicted murderer serving a life sentence has issued a threatening message to Russell Brand following the comedian’s imprisonment for rape and sexual assault offences.
Terngu Agera, a drill rapper better known as Mover, shared a photograph of a prison window on social media on Tuesday night, accompanied by a message directed at Brand.
“Russell Brand you naughty boy, we’ll be seeing you son,” he wrote.
Agera, who is serving a life sentence for murder, reportedly made the post from a different prison from the one currently holding Brand.
He later shared a video featuring lyrics from his latest music project, in which he rapped: “I’ve got blood on my hands, blood on my hands right now, look what I’ve done. Took a man’s soul, wished he’d just run.”
Brand Jailed for Rape and Sexual Assault
The social media post comes after Brand, 51, was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison after being convicted of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others between 2004 and 2009.
The former actor was sentenced at Southwark Crown Court, where Mr Justice Bennathan described him as a “sexual predator”.
Brand will also remain on the sex offenders’ register for life.
He is currently being held at HMP Wandsworth in south London, where reports have suggested that some inmates have reacted aggressively to his arrival following his conviction.
Last week, there were claims that prisoners chanted insults at Brand while he was being held on remand at the facility.
The reported chants included: “There’s a Brand new nonce on the wing! A Brand new nonce. Brand, you c***, you ain’t so f****** lairy now.”
Mover Serving Life for Daylight Knife Murder
Agera, now 35, was convicted of murdering Lithuanian builder Zydrunas Laurinavicius in a robbery in north London in 2014.
The attack happened outside St Mary’s High School in Hendon as the 38-year-old victim was returning home from work with his 67-year-old father.
Agera and his accomplice, Stephen Lansana, targeted Laurinavicius for his imitation designer watch and work bag.
During the robbery, Agera stabbed the builder in the chest, leaving his father helplessly watching as his son was attacked.
Both men were subsequently convicted of murder and robbery at the Old Bailey.
Agera, who was 23 at the time of the killing, received a life sentence in 2015 with a minimum term of 30 years.
Following the murder, Metropolitan Police Detective Inspector Jamie Stevenson described the incident as “a horrific, unprovoked attack on an honest, hardworking man returning home from work in the middle of the day”.
A £20,000 reward was also offered for information that could help identify and apprehend those responsible.
Rapper Continues Releasing Music Behind Bars
Despite his imprisonment, Agera has continued to release music, with his tracks attracting millions of streams.
His Spotify catalogue includes four albums, among them 2017’s Exit Wounds, alongside ten singles released since he entered prison.
Some of his lyrics include violent references to stabbing and fleeing crime scenes, including the lines: “hit man in his chest and neck then quick flee” and “looking at life cause prints in the bloody car”.
His latest social media activity follows earlier reports that he had been using a mobile phone from prison to communicate with people outside.
Earlier this year, Agera reportedly used the platform to warn young people against following a path that could lead them into prison.
In one post, he criticised conditions inside the prison system, claiming that some of the worst behaviour he had witnessed came from prison staff.
“I’m no angel but what goes on here is just disgusting. I’m surrounded by what media paint out to be some of the worst kind and yet the most wicked men in here are the ones in uniforms,” he wrote.
He also alleged that a prisoner suffering from cancer had been left without adequate care and died within 24 hours of being transferred to the healthcare wing.
Agera concluded his message by warning young people against going to prison, writing: “Bruddas DO NOT COME JAIL.”
He also urged people with relatives at HMP Frankland to maintain contact with them and remain aware of conditions inside.
Prison Source Says Brand and Agera Are in Different Facilities
A source familiar with the situation said Brand and Agera were not being held in the same prison, although the rapper’s message could still be unsettling.
“Brand and Agera are not in the same prison, but it doesn’t make it easier to hear someone like him is after you,” the source said.
The reported use of social media by prisoners has also raised questions about how inmates obtain and operate unauthorised mobile phones.
Possessing or using a mobile phone in prison without permission is a criminal offence in the UK and can result in additional prison time and financial penalties.
Prisoners are permitted to use approved prison telephone services, but calls can only be made to authorised numbers and are subject to monitoring.
Prison Service Warns of Tough Action Over Illegal Phones
British prisons have faced increasing challenges involving the smuggling of prohibited items, including mobile phones, drugs and weapons.
Drones have increasingly been used to deliver illegal items into prison facilities, prompting authorities to strengthen security measures.
Prisons have introduced various systems to detect and prevent unauthorised phone use, while improvements to windows, protective netting and security grilles are also being implemented to stop contraband from entering facilities.
A Prison Service spokesman condemned the use of social media by inmates and warned that offenders caught breaking prison rules would face consequences.
“It’s completely unacceptable for offenders to use social media from prison and those caught breaking the rules face tough punishments,” the spokesman said.
“We take these matters seriously and will take appropriate action, which is why we’re reinvesting around £75million in physical security measures to clamp down on illicit items.”
