COURT REPORTS Prisoner supplied heroin
SYDNEY: A man serving a life sentence for murder was sentenced in Parramatta District Court yesterday to three years’ jail for supplying heroin to fellow prisoners.
Mr Archibald Beattie McCafferty, 34, pleaded guilty to supplying the drug at Parramatta Jail.
Earlier, yesterday, Mr McCafferty and another prisoner had appeared in Parramatta Magistrate’s Court charged with having murdered a prison inmate last September.
In the District Court, Detective-Senior Constable Malcolm Heckenberg, of the drug squad, said prison officers had searched Mr McCafferty’s cell on November 13.
Mr McCafferty had been seated on his bed, with a large number of small, tinfoil wrappers in front of him. When the officers entered, he had grabbed the wrappers and thrown them into a dustbin.
Senior Constable Heckenberg said 110 foil-wrapped packages containing altogether 3.67 grams of heroin had been found. The average heroin content was 21 per cent.
Mr McCafferty, who, the court was told, had a 20-year criminal history and was sentenced to life imprisonment in February, 1974, on three counts of murder, declined to say anything to Judge Loveday about the heroin charge.
In the Magistrate’s Court, Mr McCafferty and Mr Kevin John Michael Gallacher, 28, entered no pleas to a charge of having murdered Mr Edward James Lloyd at Parramatta Jail on September 18.
Mr Power, SM, remanded them to the Glebe City Coroner’s Court on February 19.
Mr Lloyd was found stabbed to death inside his prison cell.
Mr Gallagher is serving a seven-year sentence for armed robbery.
