Jordan McSweeney Skips Court Hearing Again

Jordan McSweeney, serving a life sentence for the murder of Zara Aleena, refused to attend a court hearing regarding an alleged inappropriate relationship with prison workshop instructor Hayley Jones. During a video link session at Woolwich Crown Court, prison staff reported that McSweeney declined to appear because he 'can't be bothered'. Judge David Miller warned that if McSweeney continues to neglect court proceedings, they will proceed in his absence. Jones, who appeared in court, faces charges of misconduct in public office. Both are implicated in the alleged relationship at HMP Belmarsh, with no pleas entered during the brief hearing. The case has been adjourned until October 31.
