Prison worker arrested after she was ‘caught kissing killer Jordan McSweeney’ in Britain’s most secure jail
A PRISON worker has been suspended after she allegedly kissed killer Jordan McSweeney in Britain’s most secure jail.
The unnamed 32-year-old, who is employed in the workshop at HMP Belmarsh, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
She is said to have grown close to serial lag McSweeney, 29 — serving at least 38 years for the murder of Zara Aleena, 35, in 2021 — at the South East London prison.
A source said: “She was seen behaving intimately with McSweeney, who is one the most dangerous prisoners.
“Just look at his record.
“How you could go anywhere near a man like that romantically is beyond me.”

McSweeney — “a ticking time-bomb” according to one ex-girlfriend — was freed days before sexually assaulting, killing and robbing student Zara in Ilford, East London.
A Ministry of Justice source said: “There is zero tolerance of inappropriate relationships with prisoners.
“Those found guilty can end up in prison themselves.”
The Prison Service said: “It would be inappropriate to comment on a live police investigation.”
