'Arrogant' Baden-Clay respected in jail

Gerard Baden-Clay was an “arrogant and cold hearted” prisoner who acted “like he was hiding something” while he awaited trial for his wife’s murder, a former fellow inmate has revealed.

Baden-Clay, 43, was yesterday found guilty of murdering his wife Allison in 2012.

He’ll spent at least 15 years in Wolston Correctional Centre, also home to child killer and paedophile Brett Peter Cowan, who was convicted in March over the abduction and murder of 13-year-old Daniel Morcombe.

But he’s had two years to get to used to prison life after spending more than two years in Queensland's Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre as he awaited trial for his wife's murder.

While inside he kept to himself, helped run the kitchen and spent his free time reading science fiction and crime books or going through legal briefs according to Kelvin Lloyd, who on remand for theft and break and enter on the same wing.

“He was arrogant, cold hearted… kept to himself but with an air of authority, like he was hiding something,” he said.

“He’d be the one that would stand up and raise his voice.”

The now convicted wife killer had the respect of fellow inmates, because they all believed he was guilty, Lloyd, 40, said. They also referred to him as “G”.

“I just spoke to him about his children how he went with visits stuff like that. I never asked him the blatant question, did or did you not?"

Wolston is a maximum security ‘protection prison’ which houses sex offenders, convicted police officers and paedophiles.

As a high profile prisoner, Baden-Clay will probably spend his early days in isolation, away from the general prison population.

Baden-Clay, 43, was this week found guilty of murdering his wife Allison in 2012 and while the investigation is now closed, 9NEWS can reveal police long suspected he may have had help covering up his grisly crime.

The investigation covered every angle, including reportedly bugging the flowers next to Allison Baden-Clay’s coffin in the hope that their prime suspect would break down and show some remorse at the funeral.

Queensland Police Commissioner Ian Stewart said he would not discuss investigation methods, but the investigation was extensive.

“Our job is to gather all the facts, wherever those facts may be,” he said.

“Whether they’re forensic or telephone intercepts, whatever that is,” he told 9NEWS.

“I’m not going to discuss particular methodologies.”
