The investigation into an attack against three prison officers in a high security prison on Saturday is still ongoing, the anti -terrorism police said.
Three officers were tasks for the hospital with “injuries that apply life” after being attacked by Hashem AbediOne of the men responsible for the Manchester Arena bombardment, according to the Prison Officers Association (POA).
The penitentiary service confirmed that three officers were treated at the hospital after the HMP Frankland incident in Durham County, one of whom has been unpleasant.
Abedi, 28, was imprisoned for life with a minimum or 55 years in 2020 for helping his brother to carry out the suicide bombing of 2017.
North East’s anti -terrorism surveillance currently leads investigation with the support of the Durham Police.
On Sunday, the anti -terrorism unit confirmed that two of the three officers remain in the hospital “with serious injuries.”
“Extensive consultations continue to establish complete circumstances and explore any potential motivation,” said the statement.
“We are maintaining an open mind while investigating to establish the facts.”
The POA said the officers suffered injuries, including burns, scalds and white weapon wounds, since he described that Abedi threw hot kitchen oil on them and used “homemade weapons” to stab them.
The national president of POA, Mark Fairhurst, said that the condition of the two officers who remain in the hospital has “stabilized” since then.
The incident took place in a separation center within the prison, designed to keep those considered from the most dangerous and extremist criminals.
Hashem Abedi was convicted in 2020 or 22 positions of murder, attempted murder and conspiracy to cause an explosion that endangers life and sentenced to a minimum term or at least 55 years before it can be for probation.
His brother, Salman Abedi, carried out the suicidal attack in Manchester Arena in 2017.
Hashem Abedi was sentenced by an earlier attack against two prison officers in Belmarsh prison in southeastern London along with two others.
Fairhurst has requested the “immediate” restriction and the elimination of the kitchen facilities of the separation centers, as well as greater protections for the frontline personnel.
“We are concerned about the effects and incidents of imitation,” he said on Sunday.
The Ministry of Justice said there will be a complete review of the incident.
“The Government will do what is necessary to keep our hardworking staff,” the department said.
A spokesman for the penitentiary service said that violence in prisons “will not be tolerated,” and added that they will press for the “strongest punishment” for attacks against staff.
