Lee Murray goes to jail!

Cage-fighter jailed over £53m Kent Securitas raid

Lee Murray, 30, originally from south London, was named during the trial of other gang members as the "mastermind" of the £53m raid in Kent in 2006.

Kent Police said Murray must serve 10 years in jail in Morocco for his involvement.

A spokesman for the force said Murray was deemed to be Moroccan and could not be extradited to the UK.
'Held at gunpoint'

Det Supt Mick Judge said the Kent force had worked with the Moroccan authorities to ensure Murray was prosecuted.

He said: "I'm pleased Murray will now begin serving a significant prison sentence for his part in the Tonbridge robbery."

More than 13 people were charged with offences in connection with the robbery. Six people were convicted.

Depot manager Colin Dixon and family were kidnapped at gunpoint by men posing as police officers to allow the gang to gain entry.

Det Supt Judge added: "We must not forget the traumatic experience the Dixons and the Securitas employees went through that night in 2006 - held at gunpoint and fearing for their lives."

He said Murray played a key role in the conspiracy to kidnap the Dixons and rob the depot.

Last June, the Moroccan authorities refused to extradite Murray, after establishing his Moroccan nationality.

Earlier trials in the UK have heard how Murray began plotting Britain's biggest robbery in the summer of 2005.

It is thought that Murray, wearing a prosthetic disguise, was one of the fake police officers who ambushed depot manager Colin Dixon and abducted his wife and child.

Murray is also believed to have been the robber dubbed "Stopwatch" by detectives because he was seen on the CCTV tape bossing the gang around and timing their every move.
Conversation recorded

He organised the raid with military precision and ensured the gang left the depot after being on site for less than an hour.

Four days after the robbery in February 2006, Murray fled to Morocco.

Murray inadvertently provided key evidence for police when he crashed his car shortly before the robbery, and fled the scene leaving his mobile phone in the vehicle.

He had accidentally pressed the record button on the handset during a conversation about the robbery with fellow plotter Lea Rusha, which was later recovered and used by prosecutors.

On the night of the raid, 14 Securitas staff members were terrorised and tied up at gunpoint as the robbers loaded cash on to a lorry.

Police have recovered £21m and have still to uncover the rest.

Prosecutors have said they are determined to track down the money and recent inquiries have been focused on the Middle East.

Yeah. Every time I read about him I get upset. What a disappointment. Now, that was one British fighter no one could argue about. That dude was talented. And of course, that talent was wasted. 

 

Apparently, he will only serve 6 years if he behaves himself.

maybe he recorded that on purpose.for future double-cross.

Lee Murray behaving himself? If anything he'll fuck up his first month in there and get another 15 years lol.

ok so here are my list of questions:

Due to his original arrest being for narcotics when did he actually begin time in prison for the robbery?

curious as to how much time he has left on his 10 year sentence and if they have early parole (perhaps only an american thing)?

While Im sure the people who back the securitas those middle easterners are pretty good at protecting people. I'd imagine a portion of the missing 32 million pounds should net him some safety when released.

obviously... very fucked up...

but in the movies we always idolize the bank robbers to a certain degree... so i wonder if 10 years is too harsh?

dunno... weird... wish he hadn't kidnapped the wife and kid.

not that i'd condone robbing banks... just sayin'

really a shame... great fighter

A guy like that can do 6 years on his head. I am sure he stashed a few million and will retrieve once he has done his time.

 Man, what a waste of talent.

Will the Moroccans take his wealth? Or They might have already?

If he only serves 6 years and has some of it stashed, it could work out well for him.

I wonder if he can enter the UK again after serving his sentences?

 I wonder what Tito has to say?

"I heared that Lee Marvin got sent to jails for 10 years in Malawi. Well, he said he wouldve never got have been in there to fight me so I guess he wanted figure out that he'd rather he inside with jail for 12 years than man up and gets inside of the cage so we finish what he started in the cage London I think"?

 true story, we had a crazy tough judge down here named Judge Ted Poe, at sentencing a convict thought he got off easy, as he was getting ready to walk out he yelled: "5yrs? I could do that standing on my head!" Judge Poe, "Ok, here's another 5 to get you back on your feet!"

 Do you remember the other time he took a rag tag batch of misfits on a suicide mission to blow up a Chateau full of German Officers? I'm glad he lived to fight another day but man, that Telly Sevalis is a dick.

Wow, that seems so long ago now from 2006.

I'm sure he'll find a laptop and start several small business whilst in the confines of prison.
