A former inmate's assassination of a prison officer who exposed his jail romance with a guard left even the dark underworld of criminals shocked, a top cop has revealed.
Elias Morgan, 35, was convicted by a jury of the murder of dad-of-three and ex-Altcourse prison officer Lenny Scott yesterday, Friday, at Preston Crown Court.
The criminal was a 'loose cannon' who broke the code of Liverpool's underworld, where even hardened criminals were 'wary' of the 'incredibly twisted' man.
Lenny, 33, from Prescot, Merseyside, was shot six times outside a gym in Skelmersdale, Lancashire, on February 8 last year by the gunman in a hi-vis jacket.
The revenge attack came nearly four years after Lenny exposed the contents of a mobile phone in Morgan's cell, which contained evidence that he was having a 'sexual relationship' with prison officer Sarah Williams, the court heard.
