A close friend was governor grade there. Evidently, it’s a badly designed prison with ‘dead areas’ where staff can’t be seen. Additionally, in the high security estate, boiling water/sugar water and hot oil are a daily risk for staff and inmates.

Hashem Abedi is clearly a very dangerous man. Surely he will be charged with offences and any privileges will be lost from today.

Apparently it’s the 2nd time he’s done similar. He already had time added to his sentence for carrying out an attack on a guard in Belmarsh with two other terrorists.

His brother Salman died when he detonated the bomb killing 22 at the Ariana Grande concert here in Manchester in May 2017.

Awful.
Attacked them by throwing hot cooking oil over them (beggars belief he was allowed access to that surely) then stabbed them with various implements.

Just now in the Telegraph:
“One of the Islamist terrorists behind the Manchester Arena bombing has allegedly attacked three prison officers with weapons and cooking oil in a high-security jail.

Two officers suffered life threatening injuries after being attacked in HMP Frankland in Durham by Hashem Abedi on Saturday, in a case that will raise questions about security measures in Britain’s prisons. Abedi is serving life for 22 murders in the Manchester Arena bombing.

The officers suffered burns and stab wounds when Abedi threw hot cooking oil over them before using home made weapons to stab the guards, the Prison Officers Association union said.

One of the officers was said to have been stabbed in the face and throat and had to be airlifted for emergency surgery at the James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough. A second officer is still being treated in hospital. The third, a female officer, was released after treatment.”
