Dealer’s face slashed open

A NOTORIOUS drug lord has had his face slashed open while in jail, it has been reported today.

Mark Richardson, leader of the Inch drug gang in Edinburgh, was jailed for 10 years in August 2010 over a £2 million cocaine and heroin haul.

It is claimed that Richardson was attacked while in Glenochil Prison, Clackmannanshire, by a rival dealer from Glasgow with a homemade blade.

A source said: “It was horrific. His face was cut wide open and you could see his teeth.”

The Scottish Prison Service did not comment.
