The sinister plot was part of the largest prison smuggling ring ever uncovered
The mum of a convicted murderer sent knives into prison for her son as part of the largest prison smuggling ring ever uncovered.
An inquiry into the smuggling ring was launched by South Yorkshire Police's prison anti-corruption unit in 2019 when Hatfield was arrested as she arrived for work on October 24. In her possession, officers found MDMA, bags of ketamine, spice paper, vials of testosterone, anabolic steroids, mobile phones, phone accessories, tobacco and other prescription drugs.
Another Liverpool man, Kieran Murphy, was also identified as a key suspect who used Hatfield and other defendants to convey drugs, mobile phones and knives into the prison. The investigation took a sinister twist when information was received that knives, which had been ordered at the request of Murphy and another inmate, were intended to be used to harm a prison officer.
