Murderer assaulted guard after ban from prison football team
Jack Muir, prosecuting, told the court Petto had become volatile in his cell.
He said: 'Prison officers attended at the cell of the accused along with NHS staff to check on the accused who was believed to be under the influence.
'The complainer, Jackson, and another officer entered the cell and he became aggressive towards them and lunged towards the complainer and grabbed her by the belt and shirt.
'The accused thereafter began to punch the prison officer on her face and head area and then pulled her to the ground, which caused other staff to enter which allowed the complainer to leave the cell.'
Mr Muir said Ms Jackson suffered bruising on her left eye and the back of her head, along with pain and limpness to her right knee. She also suffered cuts to her head and neck area, as well as swelling on her right hand and wrist.
'I'm the goalie'
Petto, who represented himself in court, claimed he had become angry after being told he was not allowed to play football.
He said: 'I'd organised the football and they were getting people for football but said I wasn't going. So I started shouting trying to get my door open so I could go and play because I'm the goalie.
'They came back with nurses saying I was under the influence but I wasn't taking drugs. I just wanted to get to the football and then they all grabbed me and were trying to pull me by the head and that was when the other screws came in and this melee happened.
'I don't know why I wasn't allowed to go to football.'
Sheriff Louise Gallacher sentenced Petto to another year in jail while Mohamud and Watson were given six months each.
All three offenders were told the sentences would run alongside their current terms for murder.

Female cocaine dealer who enjoyed drugs-funded luxury life of Louis Vuitton handbags and holidays must pay back £100,000 she made from crime
A woman who ran a cannabis and cocaine dealing operation to fund her lavish has been ordered to pay back £100,000. Danielle Stafford, 31, from Hallgate, Cottingham, was jailed for seven-and-a-half years in April 2023 after pleading guilty to three offences. Before Hull Crown Court, she admitted to being concerned in supplying heroin, crack cocaine and cannabis, and another of possessing cash as criminal property on dates spanning October 2017 and May 2020. The former University of Hull graduate made so much money from selling drugs that she splashed out on nine luxury watches, three Louis Vuitton handbags and even a second house. The case resurfaced this week as the court determined how much money Stafford made from criminal activities - and how much she would be ordered to pay back. With Stafford attending the hearing via a video link from prison, prosecutor Nadim Bashir confirmed a criminal benefit figure had been agreed at £96,263. She has been ordered to pay this amount within three months or face another year of prison time, to be served consecutively. During the original trial, it was revealed that Stafford was caught by pure chance when she was stopped for speeding and officers could smell cannabis coming from her silver Audi on May 12, 2020. When questioned about the stench, Stafford 'immediately lied', telling police: 'I'll be honest, I've got this' and handed over a small silver wrap containing two buds of cannabis skunk. Police went onto find more drugs on her including two food bags containing cannabis skunk. On the way to the police station, Stafford was seen 'fidgeting' with her jogging bottoms and she was asked if she had any more drugs hidden. She said: 'Yes, but it's not mine and I don't know what it is. I shoved it down my joggers when you pulled me.' Stafford pulled out a bag containing cocaine. There were 56 wraps of crack cocaine, valued at £2,800. An iPhone was also found with drug messages on it. 'From the moment of seizure of the drugs to the arrival in the police station custody suite, the mobile iPhone was constantly ringing and receiving messages from different people,' said Mr Bashir. 'Some 30 phone calls were received and 10 to 20 text messages.' After forcing entry, officers found £26,917 cash stashed around her three-bedroom home in Cottingham and drugs with a street value of £33,600. She also had luxury goods including nine watches and three expensive Louis Vuitton handbags, Hull Crown Court heard. A glass jar with plastic drugs bags inside it was found hidden behind a bag of coal bricks in the rear garden. There, officers found 270 wraps of crack cocaine, valued at £13,500, and 205 wraps of heroin, valued at £4,100, in the jar. Stafford denied knowledge of them. In the living room, herbal cannabis, valued at £2,500, was found in an open, empty banana box on a table. She denied that it belonged to her. Two glass jars were found to contain cannabis valued at £370. Police also found weighing scales, a large amount of cash and more food bags. She admitted that this belonged to her. In Stafford's bedroom, herbal cannabis and Ecstasy tablets were discovered alongside wads of cash Wads of cash. More cash, totalling £7,580, was found in a safe but she denied that it was hers. Three Louis Vuitton handbags and nine watches were uncovered. She admitted that these were hers but pretended the designer items were fake or had merely been given to her by family members from their holidays to places like Turkey and Spain. In an upstairs box room, cash bundles of £9,100, £1,668, £550, £700, £1,110, £165, £190 and £91 were found. Examination of Stafford's bank accounts revealed a string of luxury holidays had been taken. Mr Bashir said this was 'evidence of an additional stream of cash income' apart from her monthly wages from working for Swift Group. Stafford had bought her Cottingham home in March 2016 for £124,999 with a mortgage and a property in Hotham Road South in July 2018 without a mortgage for £68,500 in equal shares with her aunt. Stafford paid the 'lion's share' of £64,927 from cashing in premium bonds and she told police that she bought it to rent out. 'Even with rental or lodgings allowances, neither property was able to provide any significant source of income to justify the cash found in the house,' said Mr Bashir. During police interview, Stafford claimed that a Liverpudlian man had been staying with her on and off and that he had phoned her to say that he had left something at her address. When she got home, there was a large amount of cannabis and, when he asked her to take it to him, she said that she did not feel comfortable doing so. She claimed that he asked her to bring a bag of drugs and, in a panic, she grabbed it and was driving to meet him when she was stopped by police. Stafford denied that she or the lad were dealing drugs but later admitted that she would drive to Liverpool and bring him back to Hull. She denied knowledge of any of the large amounts of cash found around her home, claiming that she looked after it for the man, including keeping it for him in her own bedroom - apart from £2,350 which belonged to her. 'She said that the money in the safe had nothing to do with her and all the other cash belonged to the lad,' said Mr Bashir. The prosecutor told the court that Stafford was an 'enthusiastic' cannabis dealer and progressed to becoming a Class A cocaine dealer. 'She had somehow managed to avoid her drug dealing activities coming to the attention of the police for a substantial period of time,' said Mr Bashir. 'The natural result of this was that she was able to accumulate a substantial amount of wealth, including purchasing an investment property, a house to rent. Cash found in her home address amounted to £26,917. 'The contents of her home address in Hallgate, Cottingham, is strong evidence of the nature of her drugs business. The amount, type and value of drugs found at her home were substantial. The drugs alone were street valued at £33,600. This is sustained drug dealing.' During the 2023 hearing, Saleema Mahmood, mitigating, said that Stafford was dealing cannabis but claimed that her involvement in Class A dealing came about due to her association with a person from Liverpool. She argued that evidence of any Class A dealing was extremely limited and came from two sets of messages. The lawyer claimed there was an element of naivety and exploitation in Stafford's involvement and she had little influence on those above her in the chain. Stafford also said that her family was in the habit of keeping large amounts of cash at home, rather than in a bank, and that she was entrusted to look after it for others as she was seen as being a 'responsible' person who could be 'trusted' with money. The court were shown references from previous employers and told that Stafford had tried to get work and had volunteered.

We're fighting to reclaim our seaside town from nudists openly having sex on beach… we're fed-up of it being no-go zone
SEETHING residents continue to fume at nudists for turning their picturesque coastal town into a public sex hotspot. Fuming locals hit out at beachgoers who get their kit off at Corton beach, near Lowestoft in Suffolk. 4 4 Now local MP Jess Asato has joined residents and councillors in a walk along the beach in a bid to reclaim the area for local children and holidaymakers. The MP said: "Residents are fed up with their beach being made a no-go area due to criminal sexual behaviour. "Our walk was a symbol of their efforts to ensure that no-one is feels afraid to use it - and send a signal that we will not tolerate what amounts to criminal acts." One local, a retired newspaper executive, added: "It's no longer safe to take children there to play on their beach. "It started about three years ago and has got worse every year since since - I was with my two and three-year-old grandchildren last summer and there were naked men deliberately showing off and flaunting themselves. "It is so offensive that we can no longer take our grandchildren to play on the beach. "Unfortunately the beach is now getting a reputation - and becoming famous - so the problem will only get worse. "Apart from the holidaymakers here there are people who live her all the time and now in the summer they can't go down to the sea." The Azure Seas village, which has more than 100 holiday and permanent cabins and homes which cost up to £200,000, is set in 15 acres of woodland on the cliffs overlooking the controversial beach and has its own direct access to the sea. Sales manager Duncan Gooch said: 'It's got nothing to do with nudity what so ever – it is the behaviour of some who go there, a group who think it is OK to indulge in lewd and sexual behaviour on the beach, openly in front of other people. Horny swingers or wholesome fun? Fabulous lets it all hang out at a naked festival to find out why naturism is booming in the UK 'It is blatant and deliberate – some are clearly exhibitionists and we take offence – as does everyone living or staying here – at their behaviour. 'Things have got worse over recent so year and are now so bad that a lot of people simply won't go onto the beach because it is full of naked exhibitionists parading up and down and having sex. "We have complained to the police and they say they will look into it." The parish council say they put up the sign after numerous complaints from local people about indecent behaviour on the beach, including individuals openly engaging in sexual acts and walkers being accosted. A parish council spokesman said: 'Businesses overlooking the beach have also been severely impacted, reporting substantial financial losses directly attributed to these behaviours. "The parish council is obligated to support and protect the parishioners and businesses within its jurisdiction. 'This is our fundamental responsibility, and the sign was intended to serve as a warning that engaging in such acts would be reported to the police. "This stance remains unchanged.' A spokesman for the council said: 'The sign stated that the beach was not a naturist beach and was intended to clarify that it is no longer a designated as such since nudism can be practiced anywhere. 'The council recognises that nudism is a legal activity and was not attempting to prohibit, outlaw, or prevent naturists from enjoying the beach and we don't intend to imply that naturists were responsible for this behaviour in any way. 'The sign was a warning to individuals whose lewd activities were causing distress to other beach-goers but we do not intend to imply or suggest that naturists were responsible for this behaviour in any way.' District councillor Paul Ashdown added: "Most people are aware that sunbathing in the nude on the beach is not illegal but some residents have witnessed lewd behaviour which is offensive and should not be conducted in a public space. 'It would be good to discourage this sort of behaviour so I understand the purpose of the sign - but I have no idea who might have taken it down. "I have now asked the council leader asking for help to resolve this issue.' An East Suffolk council spokesman said: 'We had requested removal of a sign placed without relevant permission on a signpost on East Suffolk Council land. "The parish council has informed us that the sign had been removed without its knowledge over the weekend.' Our picturesque seaside town is being ruined by NUDIST beach By Emer Scully A NUDIST beach has been slammed by locals who say perverts treat it like a porn set. The picturesque Shellness, on the popular Isle of Sheppey in Kent, has been an "official" nudist beach since the 1970s. Dozens of naturists flock to the sand dunes on sunny days to enjoy sunbathing and swimming without clothes. Yet the area has more recently been plagued by "sad, middle-aged men getting up to no good". Stuart Haylock, 50, who lives near Maidstone, claimed he has seen "shocking" things over the last few weeks - as he put up a fence close to the beach. The former Royal Navy serviceman said: "Sadly some parts of society seem to think that because it's a naturist area it should be treated like a porn set. "What I've witnessed in the past couple of weeks is sad, lonely middle-aged men getting up to no good. "I've spoken with some of the actual naturists and they're lovely people. What they're trying to do is just sunbathe naked without any interaction with perverts. "But I can only tell you what I've physically seen in the last few days. It's shocking." Another man, who did not want to be named but lives close to the beach said he has called the police"a number of times". He said: "These perverts have been using the area for sex. "There could be kids coming round here but they don't care. Many of them don't just stay for a few hours either, they park up in the nearby car park and stay for a week. "The actual naturists themselves tend to be alright. They've put some signs up now as we did used to have a problem with them staying in their area, but now it's okay." 4 4

Supermarket worker caught at airport with £1.2million in his suitcase as he claimed he was jetting off on family holiday is jailed for money laundering
A supermarket worker who claimed he was jetting off on a family holiday when he was found with £1.2million in his suitcase has been jailed. Mazen Al Shaar, 48, was stopped by Border Force officers on March 15 as he was about to fly from Terminal Three at Heathrow to Beirut. The supermarket worker, of Marsworth Close, Middlesex, said he only had £500 in cash on him and that he was leaving the UK to visit family. But officers searched his three suitcases and two of them contained a total of £1,232,880. Al Shaar, was sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court on Friday after admitting one count of money laundering. Peter Jones, NCA operations manager, said: 'Money launderers are at the absolute centre of serious and organised crime because they enable other offenders to make money from their offences. 'Criminals who deal drugs, firearms, smuggle migrants and commit other organised crime offences do so because of their greed. 'And it's offenders like Al Shaar who work hand in glove with them to make it all worthwhile. 'By seizing this money and bringing him to justice, we have broken one crucial link in the chain and we've deprived an organised crime group of the profit they expected to receive. That money cannot now be ploughed back into further offending.' A Home Office spokesperson said: 'This seizure highlights Border Force's dedicated efforts to protect our borders and keep the public safe. Our officers are trained to spot suspicious behaviour and identify attempts to move illicit cash and other prohibited items across our borders. 'We continue to work closely with law enforcement partners, including the NCA to disrupt criminal networks.'
