Micheal Roberts and John Reid, who are serving jail terms for killing a delivery man, shared nude photos with fellow inmate Lee Ridway on their Facebook while revealing that life was easy in jail.
John Reid had killed delivery driver Simon San, 40, with a single punch outside the San family’s takeaway restaurant in Lochend, Edinburgh, in 2010.
Roberts, 22, mocked prison staff as he told friends online: ‘Yeah my bro it’s so easy in here,’ as he used an illegally held mobile phone from his prison cell.
The posts which were made under the username Mikey on Facebook and MikeyRobertson30 on Instagram were traced to the duo who shared their nude photos.
Roberts uploaded a video of convicted killer John Reid punching another inmate, and told another friend: ‘Yeah my bro life is so easy here’
A source claimed Roberts ‘runs things from his cell using his secret mobile phone,’ adding he organises gang fights outside the prison through a WhatsApp group.
Another picture added on Monday showed him and inmate Lee Ridgway with the comment: ‘Me and ma brother chilling.’
Roberts also told a friend he would call her later as it was ‘jail bait now,’ and told another: ‘Easy days bro’ and ‘F*k the sps (Scottish Prison Service) ma man.’
The inmates were all serving jail terms inside the high-security Saughton Prison in Edinburgh.
