Russell Brand receives chilling five-word threat from jailed murderer
Russell Brand was issued a chilling five-word warning from a convicted murderer after being found guilty of sexual assault and rape, and sentenced to over 10 years.
Terngu Agera, who is currently serving a life sentence for the 2014 murder of Zydrunas Laurinavicius, reportedly shared a photograph that appeared to have been taken inside his prison cell, accompanied by a message directed at Brand, according to The US Sun.
Murderer issues cryptic warning to Brand
"Russell Brand you naughty boy, we’ll be seeing you son," the man wrote.
The post quickly attracted attention online, with social media users questioning whether Agera had genuinely uploaded it under his rap name, Mover.
One X user claimed: "Everyone can get a phone in jail; it’s not hard."
Others criticised Agera, with some suggesting he was simply "bored" and accusing him of "drawing unnecessary attention to himself".
Another user highlighted that Brand is not currently being held at the same prison as Agera, with no confirmation as yet that the now-disgraced comedian is due to be transferred elsewhere.
"Imagine publicly announcing you’re waiting for someone who isn’t even in the same prison as you, with no confirmed plans for them to be transferred there," they wrote.
"What exactly is he trying to achieve? … Absolutely ridiculous."
Agera previously attracted attention in 2019 after reportedly recording a 10-track rap album using a smuggled mobile phone while behind bars, with the music initially available on Spotify before being taken down.
Brand's conviction sees him handed lengthy jail term
Brand's legal representative did not immediately respond to Page Six when approached for comment, following the 51-year-old’s conviction last week of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault, where he was handed a lengthy jail term.
Following the verdict, he was remanded into custody and taken to HMP Wandsworth, where he is expected to remain for the time being, and according to Page Six, Brand will stay at the prison for "a few weeks,” before being moved to a more permanent prison residence.
Solicitor Kally Sahota explained that decisions about where he is held will depend on his "security, safety, and rehabilitation needs".
On Monday, Brand was handed a total prison sentence of 10 years and six months for the offenses.
His current location has prompted speculation about his eventual prison placement, although no transfer to the facility where Agera is being held has been confirmed.
