Drug Kingpin Shayne Hatfield dies in prison

Sydney underworld figure Shayne Hatfield has died in prison. A spokesperson says he was found in his cell in Parklea Jail on Friday. Authorities are not treating his death as suspicious. Hatfield had only recently been released after serving an 18-year sentence over a drug smuggling operation worth 30 million dollars. He was released in December 2022, but was on remand at the time of his death over an alleged assault on his girlfriend.
