During a police raid on his Swansea flat, officers uncovered over 2.5kg of cannabis, ketamine, and a sum of cash. Mason-Jones even attempted to broker a deal with the police, offering information on further drug stashes in exchange for immunity.

Back in 2005, Mason-Jones (then known as Christopher Jones) and his brother, Stuart, were handed life sentences for the “callous and cold-blooded” murder of Shirley Oliver, a mother who they brutally beat and strangled before leaving her body in an alley. Mason-Jones served a minimum of 13 years.

Fast forward to this latest courtroom drama, where he admitted to being involved in the supply of cannabis and ketamine, as well as possession with intent to supply ketamine and cocaine. 📱 Messages on his phone revealed his involvement in trafficking various strains of cannabis, and offering ketamine as an alternative to cocaine.

Despite claiming his illegal stashes were meant for personal use, Mason-Jones will serve a 22-month sentence, with the exact time to be decided by the Parole Board. 📏 His story is a stark reminder of the perils of crime and its lingering consequences.
