According to The Sun on July 4 (local time), Joe Storey, 32, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder and must serve at least 24 years, was recently moved from Whitemoor Prison in Cambridgeshire, England, to Frankland Prison in Durham.

Frankland Prison is a facility primarily housing murderers and other serious criminals, earning it the nickname "Monster Mansion." Currently, serial killer Levi Bellfield and former police officer Wayne Couzens are among those incarcerated there.

Storey's transfer took place after allegations surfaced that Whitemoor Prison officer Tammy Dauphin had formed an inappropriate relationship with him. Reports indicate that Dauphin neglected her professional duty to strictly oversee inmates and continued improper contact with Storey.

It was reported that, in text messages sent to acquaintances, Dauphin said of Storey, "I truly love that man." There are also claims that she imagined leaving her husband to live with Storey. Following the controversy, Dauphin has been suspended from her duties and is currently under investigation.

Previously, British correctional authorities stated, "Correctional staff must adhere to the highest standards," and warned, "If found guilty of having an inappropriate relationship with an inmate, prison officers can themselves be imprisoned."

The Sun quoted a source as saying that Storey was "furious" about the transfer, noting, "It was impossible for him to remain at Whitemoor Prison. This action was the prison's way of retaliating."

Meanwhile, in 2017, Storey was convicted of beating his ex-girlfriend, Kerry McCauley, to death at her home in Norwich. The victim was 32 years old at the time of the crime.
