Fugitive Brit model is arrested in Bali for dealing illegal steroids after mocking cops and selling porn pics to fund luxury lifestyle
A FUGITIVE Brit model who mocked police and sold porn online to fund his luxury lifestyle has finally been arrested in Bali after dodging a conviction for selling illegal steroids.
Terrence Murrell, 30, fled Britain to Bali before he was due in court to be sentenced back in October, last year, and has since been exposed selling pornographic pictures and videos online.
Murrell was arrested as part of a joint operation with Denpasar police on Sunday for drug use and overstaying his visa and could now be charged under Indonesia's strict anti-pornography laws.
that police found a bong, used syringes and steroids among his belongings in his room which promoted a urine test, that later tested positive for morphine.
Authorities also found that he had overstayed his visa by more than 150 days and that he had pornographic content, allegedly of his own making, on his mobile phone.
Amran Aris, who heads the Class 1 Immigration Office at Ngurah Rai International Airport, said: “We arrested British national Terrence Murrell on Sunday, July 28, 2019, in his place of stay in Kuta.
"It was a joint operation with the Denpasar Police and we’d found several pieces of evidence.
"When we looked in his phone, we found pornographic content that [we believe] he produced himself which we were able to identify based on the tattoos on his body.
"There’s a lot of sexual deviation (in the content), men with other men, women with other women, and even with dogs and fish.”
X-RATED CONTENT
Just last week the Sun Online revealed that the former salesmen was posting pornographic images online through a site called OnlyFans.
The site offers followers the opportunity to pay for Murrell's exclusive content for £8 a month after he also announced a tour to visit fans across the US and Europe.
Murrell was the leading member of a £2million steroid gang who shipped drugs from China to the UK to sell but told police at the time he had bought the drugs for himself as he "wanted to look his best as a male model.
The convict went onto pose for pictures while on the run in an infinity pool, working out in a gym and using his laptop in a four-poster bed.
Many of the snaps were captioned: "Boss life" or "#gangsta"
But brazen Murrell went one step further and used his online presence to make money as a 'entertainer/fitness model'.
The x-rated content, catered for both men and women, and was pushed through his social media pages with the caption 'I'm flying around the world to please my biggest fans ans admirers at very affordable prices too.'
'HE GOT THROUGH MONEY LIKE WATER'
A former friend had told Sun Online that Murrell 'got through money like it was water' and enjoyed buying flash cars and designer clothes.
They said: "He was always very self confident and a bit of blabbermouth.
"I found it quite amusing when I saw these adverts pop up online. I never really expected it.
"He was always spending money and we never knew how he was getting through so much back then.
"I noticed quite recently that he was offering more competitive prices so I can only assume he needs the cash now.
"He was always quite concerned with his appearance."
