Jailed gangster “Fat” Freddie Thompson went into a rage smashing up his cell after learning of his mother’s death last weekend, but was allowed to pay his final respects to her at a funeral home.
Thompson, who is serving life in prison for the Kinahan cartel murder of shop-keeper David “Daithi” Douglas in 2016, smashed his TV, toaster, microwave and caused hundreds of euro worth of damage at Portlaoise Prison. On Friday, the 43-year-old is understood to have been taken under armed prison escort to pay his respects to his late mother Lisa, who died last Sunday.
The convicted killer is said to be “heartbroken” over his mother’s death. A prison source told the Irish Sunday Mirror how it would have been too much of a safety issue for Thompson to attend his mother’s funeral in Dublin city centre tomorrow.
