Inmate arrested on suspicion of murdering convicted killer in high-security prison
An inmate has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a convicted killer at a high-security prison.
A Prison Service spokesperson said John Mansfield was found dead at HMP Whitemoor in Cambridgeshire on Sunday. Mansfield, 63, was jailed for life in 2007 for the murder of his 63-year-old neighbour Ann Alfanso.
Sky News understands he was attacked by another inmate. Cambridgeshire Police said the force was called at around 4.10pm after the body of a man in his 60s was found.
"A 44-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. An investigation is ongoing," the force said in a statement.
It was the second major security breach on the prison estate over the weekend after the brother of the Manchester Arena bomber attacked three officers on Saturday. The Prison Officers Association (POA) said 28-year-old Hashem Abedi - the brother of Salman Abedi - threw hot cooking oil over the guards before stabbing them with "improvised knives.
