The officer was stabbed at HMP Frankland this morning
Police have issued an update after a GMP officer was stabbed by an inmate at a notorious prison home to child killer Damien Bendall and Sarah Everard's murderer Wayne Couzens.
In an update this afternoon, Durham Police said the officer, a detective constable from GMP’s Major Incident Team, suffered critical injuries but his condition is now stable. A man in his 60s has been detained following the stabbing.Detective Chief Inspector Chris Smiles, who is leading the investigation, said: “First and foremost, our thoughts are with our colleague, who suffered appalling injuries while simply doing his job.
One such inmate is Bendall, who murdered his partner Terri Harris, 35, her daughter Lacey Bennett, 11, her son John Paul Bennett, 13, and Lacey's friend Connie Gent, also 11, in Killamarsh, Derbyshire, in 2021. The Sun reported in May that he had attacked another inmate at the prison with a claw hammer.
Other inmates are thought to include Levi Bellfield, who killed Milly Dowler, Marsha McDonnell and Amelie Delagrange, and Soham murderer Ian Huntley. Double murderer and necrophiliac David Fuller appeared via videolink from the jail for his trial for sexually abusing bodies in 2022.
