Twisted double murderer who killed 17-year-old girl and her grandmother posts topless Facebook selfies from inside jail
The cocky killer, who murdered a teenage girl and her gran over a £15 debt in 2009, appears to show no remorse eight years on
DOUBLE murderer Jake Sheehan has allegedly posted a topless selfie on social media from inside his prison cell.
Sheehan, 20, of Bethnal Green, London, was jailed for life after being found guilty of murdering 17-year-old Shannen Vickers and her grandmother Pauline Adams, 57, when he torched their house in 2009.
Eight years on, the cocky convict, who is serving a minimum of 25 years behind bars, appears to show no sign of remorse for the horrific crime by posting inappropriate pictures of himself on Facebook using a smuggled phone.
One snap shows him smirking at the camera with just a towel wrapped round his waist, while another showed him raising his middle finger.
It is believed Sheehan created a Facebook account under the alias Jake John from his cell at HMP Swaleside on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, to keep in touch with friends on the outside.
The Ministry of Justice confirmed his mobile phone has since been confiscated and the social media account he was apparently using was removed.
A Ministry of Justice spokesman, who said police are investigating the incident, added: “We are stepping up measures to find and block mobile phones in prisons and those found with them can face extra time behind bars.”
In the UK, inmates are forbidden from possessing mobile phones and are not allowed to have internet access.
Sheehan was one of two men found guilty of starting a fire that killed 17-year-old Shannen and her grandmother Pauline in London.
Shannen and Pauline were asleep when petrol was poured through the letterbox of their flat in Mile End in 2009 and set alight.
They died as a result of smoke inhalation, post-mortem tests found.
Sheehan and David Philip, who was 19 at the time, from Bow, had denied murdering the pair over a £15 debt Pauline's grandson owed.
During the trial, both defendants tried to blame each other for starting the fire but the jury rejected their stories.
The pair were convicted of two counts of murder at the Old Bailey and were sentenced to a minimum of 25 years in jail.
