Brent Reker was found dead in the Ravenhall Correctional Centre in 2019
A prison whistleblower has shed light on the final desperate days of a notorious Finks bikie boss Brent 'BJ' Reker before he was found dead in jail.
The 35-year old national president was found hanging at the Ravenhall Correctional Centre in December 2019 after barricading himself in his cell.
While his suicide is the subject of a Victorian coronial inquest, a former guard at the jail has told Daily Mail Australia prison staff had 'blood on their hands' over his death.
The guard, who wished to remain anonymous, had worked closely with Reker before he hanged himself after being transferred to a unit for troublesome inmates.
'He was a massive, massive suicide risk. He tried to kill himself multiple times while he was at the Melbourne Assessment Prison, and that's a maximum security prison that is run specifically for those with mental health issues,' she said.
Reker had become suicidal after the Director of the Office of Public Prosecutions won an appeal in the Supreme Court that saw his bail revoked in February 2019.
The bikie had initially been bailed over an alleged bashing, described as a revenge attack over the release of naked photos of his friend Tara Egglestone online.
