‘Dangerous’ inmate convicted of attempts to kill prison officers One of Britain’s most dangerous inmates has been convicted of a string of attacks on prison officers with homemade plastic weapons.
In the summer of 2017, he attacked one inmate and two officers at HMP Wayland, HMP Lincoln and HMP Wakefield, using improvised weapons to stab at his victims’ heads and necks, the court was told.
At the time of the offences, the defendant was serving a life sentence for three earlier attempted murders and wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, jurors heard.
He also admitted six attempted assaults on emergency workers and three charges of possessing sharpened pieces of plastic in prison.
Rahman had originally been jailed two years before, in November 2015, and ordered to serve six years and four months for drugs offences.
