Anita Whittaker had been having an affair with a Black prisoner who had stabbed a teenager to death.

A prison officer who had an affair with a murderer 17 years her junior has been jailed for 15 months.

Mother-of-two Anita Whittaker, 52, exchanged love letters and flirtatious texts with Kazadi Kongolo, 35, jailed in 1999 for stabbing a teenager to death.

Their affair was uncovered when  jailers at Wormwood Scrubs searched Kongolo’s cell and discovered he was hiding a mobile phone in his bottom.

Whittaker’s number was on the phone, along with text messages the pair had exchanged, Isleworth crown court heard. Kongolo’s included “Sexy Queen”, while his lover often referred to the prisoner as “Baby Cake”.

Prosecuting Rav Johal said Whittaker then began trying to remove her love letters to Kongolo from his cell.

“She was caught assisting his move on the wing, escorting him when she had no business being on the wing, and was there to remove the letters from him,” he told Isleworth crown court.

“Her home was searched on the day of her arrest and letters from Kongolo were found. In her bedroom was found a phone which she used to keep in contact with the prisoner.”

The court heard Whittaker, of Acton, took advantage of her position in the jail workshop to enjoy physical contact with Zaire-born Kongolo, progressing from kissing and cuddling to oral sex.

Mr Johal said: “She admitted developing a friendship and then a relationship after four months that became intimate and sexual. She said she was vulnerable after an abusive relationship with a warder at another prison.”

Diane Buck, defending, said Whittaker denied that oral sex had occurred, adding: “There was no full sexual intercourse, this was a loose sexual relationship with cuddling and touching.
