Imran Shahid is serving a jail sentence of at least 25 years after admitting his role in the racist gang murder of a 15-year-old in 2004.

Appearing before Peterhead Civil Court yesterday, he told Sheriff Robert Dickson that he was now forced to use viagra to treat his medical condition, which causes him “serious” side-effects.

Shahid told the court: “I’m being superseded by a governor who has zero medical experience.”

However, lawyers from the prison governor said they removed the device on the advice of the prison doctor, who said the device was “not medically necessary” and prolonged use could cause him harm.
