Overview
- A two-minute mobile phone video filmed inside HMP Polmont shows 19-year-old Jay Stewart with a T-shirt over his face rapping about the killing of 16-year-old Kayden Moy and appearing to threaten future violence.
- The clip was recorded on a phone held by a fellow inmate, and its circulation has prompted the Scottish Prison Service to work with Police Scotland on an inquiry into how illicit devices entered the prison.
- Kayden’s father, Paul Moy, said the family was devastated by footage that shows the convicted killer laughing and appearing to boast about taking his son’s life.
- Stewart was convicted of Moy’s murder and given a life sentence, while co-defendant Cole Turley received a 16-year minimum term and a 15-year-old boy was handed a 14-year minimum.
- The episode highlights ongoing problems with contraband phones at HMP Polmont and could lead to tighter controls, further criminal inquiries over the leak, and renewed public concern about prisoner monitoring and victim impact.
