Guards for hire: Special report on the private security industry
Terry Hughes

TERENCE HUGHES, one of Britain’s most notorious security guards, was last pictured leaving the Old Bailey in 2014, looking visibly relieved after being cleared of Jimmy Mubenga’s manslaughter.

His solicitor told reporters that Mr Hughes “bitterly” regretted the death of the Angolan deportee, but said he had been “trying to do a very difficult job in difficult circumstances”.

What he did next is less well known. An industry insider has sent the Morning Star what appears to be a more recent photo of Mr Hughes.
