A prolific burglar who appeared in a series of pictures on social media showing prisoners enjoying an apparently cushy lifestyle behind bars has been jailed again. See swns story SWSELFIE. Simon Inker (circled, back) from Bristol was one of the prisoners who featured in pictures on an Instagram account which showed them playing with PlayStation game consoles, cooking steaks, taking drugs and posing for the camera, taken on a phone smuggled into the jail. The pictures were dubbed 'jailfies' by the inmates - and ended up sparking a Home Office investigation. The 42-year-old had been released from prison on licence earlier that year - but within weeks he had started committing a series of burglaries across Bristol and South Gloucestershire.

An incredible country estate with a large lake and 5,000 acres is being sold for £24 MILLION by a descendent of the Guinness brewing family. Luggala is one of Ireland’s best-known homes having been used in film and TV and hosted the likes of Michael Jackson. It was built in the 18th century and, in the 1930s, was bought by Ernest Guinness who gave the property to his daughter Oonagh as a wedding present. See Centre Press story CPGUINNESS. The main home on the 5,000 acre estate is a five-bedroom gothic property has seven bedrooms and three reception rooms. There are four further bedrooms within the guest lodge and 16 in the seven estate lodges and cottages dotted around the estate. It is a home which has attracted celebrities for decades. Michael Jackson secretly rented it for three months in 2006 while Gerard Depardieu was on his way to Luggala when he was kicked off a Paris-to-Dublin flight for urinating in the aisle. The Rolling Stones have also stayed there. The estate, which is just 25 miles from Dublin, was used to film scenes in Braveheart and Excalibur and Bono once called Luggala his inspiration. For the past 47 years it has been the home of Gareche Browne, the great, great, greatson of Arthur Guinness, who founded the legendary drink. Gareche Browne, who is the founder of Claddagh Records, is now selling Luggala for £24 million. The decision to sell Luggala is expected to generate international interest, but it has also prompted debate in Ireland. There have been calls for the Irish government to buy Luggala, but officials have said they couldn’t afford the 28 million euro (£24m) asking price. *** Local Caption *** Please byline - Sotheby's Realty/SWNS.COM An incredible country estate with a large lake and 5,000 acres is being sold for £24 MILLION by a descendent of the Guinness brewing family.
