Sadistic killer Graham Dwyer has been bombarded with racy pictures in the post, we can reveal.
The 49-year-old, who is serving a life sentence for the murder of Elaine O’Hara, has been inundated with letters of support in recent weeks as well as explicit images which were confiscated by officers.
A source revealed there has been a huge increase in “fan letters” for the depraved murderer, including some x-rated images of women.
The source said: “Dwyer has always been an inmate who gets a lot of post.
“Over the years, since being locked-up, he has had a steady flow of fan letters from women across the world.
“They range from those who fancy Dwyer as well as supporters who believe he is innocent.
“But in recent weeks there have been loads of very racy letters which also contained provocative pictures. Some of them have been extremely racy and explicit.
“Staff go through and censor all of the post which has been sent into the jail for inmates.
“Letters are checked for contraband as well as raunchy material which is deemed inappropriate.
“All explicit material was confiscated. Dwyer, like other prisoners, is only given post which doesn’t break any of the jail rules.”
The long-haired killer, who wears his hair in a ponytail, spends his time in jail playing music and reading books.
The former architect formed a rock band with infamous Cratloe rapist Stephen Barry during music class at the Midlands Prison in Portlaoise.
Dwyer is currently awaiting his appeal over the murder of childcare worker Ms O’Hara.
A leading EU judge said in November that mobile data retention practises used in the case against Dwyer were not in line with European law.
The opinion set out by Advocate General Campos Sanchez-Bordona said the “general and indiscriminate retention of traffic and location data” is justified only in the protection of national security.
Mr Sanchez-Bordona, of the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU), said that definition did not include the prosecution of serious offences.
Mobile phone data was used prominently by the prosecution in Dwyer’s trial for the murder of Ms O’Hara in 2015.
Data held in the Cork-born architect’s work phone was used in the trial to demonstrate how it placed the device at specific places at particular times and dates.
The decision could boost Dwyers bid for freedom.
