A violent prisoner locked up indefinitely managed to trick prison guards into entering his cell so he could attack them. Derwin Ellis had been in Gartree Prison, near Market Harborough, in a segregation cell when the incident happened.

Ellis, who is behind bars for crimes including robbery and kidnap, was meant to be under regular observation at the Leicestershire prison. Rules at HMP Gartree state that for any interaction with his in his segegration cell, at least three prison guards - in full riot gear - should enter his cell. However, on the day of the attack in October last year, Ellis had obstructed his cell's viewing panel and he got into bed, fully dressed.

At Leicester Magistrates' Court on Friday (October 18) prosecutor Sukhy Basi explained what happened next.
