Child killer boasts about cushy prison life in video taken with smuggled phone
A KILLER who stabbed a 14 year-old to death over a “dirty look” has posted videos rapping and appearing to smoke drugs online.
Killer's sick boast that he can 'smoke cannabis' behind bars
Joseph Chin stabbed Martin Dinnegan to death in Holloway, North London, in 2008.
After the sentencing, Martin’s family expected not to hear again from Chin. But the murderer has repeatedly posted content online via phones smuggled into jail.
In the latest brazen post, he poses shirtless while smoking inside his prison cell.
And a video shows Chin flouting rules by smoking a roll-up cigarette and rapping.

His lyrics include: “stuck up in the pen [prison]” and “I shoot from close range”.
He also boasts of “ten years in the can” in another video.
Chin captioned a picture with: “#wakeandbake”.
Other snaps show the killer sipping from a can as he sings to the camera during what appears to be a birthday party.
The 26 year-old had set up his own Instagram account - ‘kiingxchin’ - although it has been taken down after users reported the images.

Two years ago, Chin used a mobile phone to access dating site, PlentyOfFish, from his prison cell.
The account was called ‘ChinChilla100’ - and the murderer said he was a professional “hustler” and a “non smoker with athletic body type”.
He said he liked “tattoos, x box and gyals [girls] that dnt play games”.
Chin’s music tastes were listed as “rap, r n b and house”.
His profile suggested he was looking for a girl with “a nice round bum lol, but dw [don’t worry] if u don’t have, its just a preference lol”.

Chin is thought to have posted the clips from category C Highpoint jail in Suffolk.
A Prison Service spokesman said inmates caught flouting rules face tough punishments - and longer sentences.
Chin was 16 when he murdered Martin Dinnegan after a chase in North London.
The victim was attacked after two groups exchanged “dirty looks”, a court was told.
Chin was handed a minimum 12-year sentence and cannot apply for parole before 2020. He will only be released if he can prove he is no longer a danger to the British public.

At the time of sentencing, Judge Brian Barker, said: “This was a vengeful attack out of all proportion to what may have gone before and no mercy was shown to the victim.
“It is a tragedy that this sort of triviality caused such a young man to lose his life and has caused enduring heartache to his friends and family.”
Martin’s grieving mother spoke in 2016 after Chin’s dating profile emerged.
She said: “How is he supposed to repent if he is on dating sites?
“It’s hurtful he enjoys luxuries when prison is supposed to be a punishment.”
