A prison guard overseeingJeffrey Epsteinthe night he was found dead was overheard talking about covering up the paedophile tycoon's death in aNew York Cityjail, an inmate told theFBI.
The inmate awoke on the morning of Epstein's death on August 10, 2019, to a loud commotion in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) where he and Epstein were jailed, a five-page handwritten FBI report of the interview with the inmate reads.
'Breathe! Breathe!' echoed down the halls of the Metropolitan Correctional Center as officers attempted to resuscitate the hanged child sex offender at 6.30am.
Then he said he heard one officer say 'Dudes, you killed that dude.'
A woman's voice then snapped, 'If he's dead, we're going to cover it up and he's going to have an alibi - my officers,' the FBI report released in the Epstein files said.
The inmate identified that female voice as Tova Noel, 37 - one of two prison guards fired for falsifying records that they had made their rounds of the cells that night when they had not.
Noel and Michael Thomas were charged for this, but later their charges were dropped.
After it was discovered that Epstein had died, inmates rumoured that 'Miss Noel killed Jeffrey'.
