Some of Britain's most dangerous convicts, including convicted murderers, have set up sinister gangs to 'protect' themselves from Muslim inmates.

One new network, Death Before Dishonour (DBD), has reportedly prompted a security warning to governors after recruiting members from Close Supervision Units, which house the most violent prisoners.  

There are fears the gang could lead to existing tensions between Muslim and non-Muslim inmates escalating 'beyond all control'.

A source told The Sunday People: 'There have been top-security briefings warning of this organisation being set up and focusing on Close Supervision Units.'

The newspaper reported DBD has been linked to three convicted murderers. 

With thousands of Muslims behind bars, officials are said to worried the group could seriously increase tensions.
