Killer makes
A MURDERER serving 30 years has brazenly released a rap album from one of Britain’s highest-security prisons.
Terngu Agera is believed to have recorded vocals for the LP on a contraband mobile phone while behind bars for stabbing an innocent dad to death at a bus stop.
The recordings, which appear to glorify in the brutal killing, were sent to contacts on the outside.
The finished album, sickeningly titled Exit Wounds, was released this week on the online music service Spotify and sells for £6.99 on the iTunes web store.
The killer, who raps under the name Mover, could benefit financially – in which case web giants Spotify and iTunes will be taking their cut.
It is the latest in a series of prison scandals highlighted by the Sunday People. And last night the sister of Agera’s victim branded the record’s release as disgusting.
Indre Pedrieziene, who was forced to move house in fear of reprisal attacks after spending a month in court for Agera’s trial, said: “He took my brother’s life. If he’s singing about it then he’s not feeling sorry.”
A victim support charity called for the Ministry of Justice to tell internet giants such as iTunes and Spotify to stop cashing in on killers.
Slashed
And Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen said “This prisoner is effectively profiting from his crime. The proceeds should go to paying for his stay in jail.”
Agera, 24, was able to record some of the tracks at category A Belmarsh in South London where high-risk inmates including terrorists are kept in maximum security.
His victim, Zydrunas Laurinavicius, 38, was murdered in front of his dad as he waited for a bus after a day’s work in Hendon, North London.
The hard- working builder was set upon by Agera and his gang, who were on their way back from a burglary.
His dad Pranas, 69, had a knife held to his throat as he saw his son slashed in the arm and stabbed in the left side of his torso with such force the weapon came out the other side.
Zydrunas, who had been in the UK only a few months after moving from Lithuania, was bleeding to death in the street when police arrived.
Agera’s record includes the lyrics: “Hit man in his chest and neck then quick flee, looking at life cause was prints in the bloody car, two snitches due stitches, I move vicious.”
Another features the line: “Murder squad got me 30 locked, my lawyer said he’ll bring it down.”
The album can be l i s t ened t o by Spotify’s 140million users worldwide.
Artists get payment depending on a how many times a track is played. Agera’s most popular track has been listened to 15,000 times. The album artwork features a picture of Agera and bloodstains, along with a parental advisory label warning of explicit lyrics. One sadly deluded fan wrote on Twitter after downloading the album: “How can you release a tape from the can with so much substance.” Another added:
