MODEL DEALER CAGED

Brit model and member of £2m steroids gang finally jailed in UK after fleeing to Bali to escape justice

A MALE model and self-confessed member of a £2million steroids gang is finally in a UK jail after fleeing to Bali 18 months ago to escape justice.

Tattooed hunk Terrence ­Murrell, 33, absconded before his court case and was sentenced to 37 months in his absence.

Murrell, who illegally dealt steroids in North Wales, taunted cops with social media posts captioned “boss life” showing himself living it up and relaxing in the sun.

He posed for pictures in an infinity pool, working out in a gym and using his laptop in a four-poster bed.

He was dubbed Mr Potato Chest when a police description of his having “tattoos on his chest” was mistranslated. 

The Welsh word for potatoes is “tatws”.

Cops flew to Cambodia last week to extradite Murrell, of London, after he was deported from Bali.

He is behind bars in the capital’s Wormwood Scrubs and faces sentence for absconding.

He told police he bought the drugs for himself as he "wanted to look his best as a male model".

But prosecutor Sarah Badrawy said bank accounts showed Murrell had pocketed more than £220,000.
