Manchester bomber's brother charged with attempted murder of prison guards
The brother of the Manchester Arena bomber has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly attacking four prison officers with weapons and hot cooking oil in a high-security jail. Hashem Abedi, 28, has been charged with a total of five offences following the incident at HMP Frankland in Durham on April 12. He is accused of three counts of attempted murder, one count of assault and one count of unauthorised possession in prison of a knife or offensive weapon. The officers suffered burns and stab wounds when Abedi allegedly threw hot cooking oil over them before using makeshift weapons to stab them. The investigation into the alleged attack was led by counter-terrorism police. The jihadist is serving a 55-year sentence for assisting Salman Abedi, his brother, to carry out the suicide attack that killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester in May 2017. The families of five of the Manchester Arena victims have previously written to Shabana Mahmood, the Justice Secretary, to express their disbelief that Abedi was not already in solitary confinement. Jailed in 2020 for his part in the bombing, he was sentenced to a further three years and 10 months for a 'vicious attack' on a prison officer in May that year. He and two other inmates attacked prison officer Paul Edwards, 57, in his office at the high-security Belmarsh jail in south east London. Following the alleged attack, the Prison Service banned the use of kitchens for the most dangerous inmates. The suspension applies to prisoners in high-security separation units and close supervision centres across England and Wales. Abedi, who remains in custody, will appear at Westminster magistrates' court on Sept 18.
