Convicted murderer killed by fellow prisoner' in high-security British jail
Briefly

John Mansfield, a convicted murderer serving a life sentence, was killed by another inmate at HMP Whitemoor. This incident follows a series of violent occurrences in British prisons, including an attack by Hashem Abedi, known for the Manchester Arena bombing, who assaulted prison staff. Mansfield, known for the brutal murder of Ann Alfanso, had a history of violent behavior and was considered dangerous. The Ministry of Justice is reviewing the situation in light of these recent breaches in prison safety, aiming to address rising violence against both inmates and staff.
John Mansfield, 63, was imprisoned in 2007 for the brutal murder of his 63-year-old neighbour Ann Alfanso, who he stabbed almost 100 times at her home in Manchester.
The Ministry of Justice has said it will carry out a review following reports that Manchester bomb plotter Abedi attacked three prison officers with hot oil and home-made weapons.
