A female prison office warder has been suspended over an alleged ‘affair’ with a notorious sex murderer. The unnamed woman is believed to have slept with Leigh Thornhill, 27, at Wakefield Prison, where he is behind bars for beating a mother-of-two to death.
The ex-soldier, described as ‘dangerous and perverted’ by a judge, was found guilty of battering 38-year-old Corinne Bailey in 2003, when he was only 19 – her body was found with 68 injuries in West Croydon, South London.
According to the Daily Mirror, a fellow inmate blew the whistle on the affair – and both the snitch and Thornhill have been moved to another prison now. A Prison Service spokesman said: ‘a member of staff from HMP Wakefield has been suspended pending the outcome of an internal investigation.’
