TWO inmates have been charged with murdering a convicted child rapist found "disembowelled" in his cell at an English prison.
Mitchell Harrison, 23, who had been jailed for the rape of a 13-year-old schoolgirl, was discovered dead in his cell yesterday by staff at HM Prison Frankland in Durham, north-east England, Sky News reported.
He was convicted of child rape last year and given an indefinite prison sentence.
The Daily Mail reported that Harrison had been disembowelled by makeshift weapons, believed to be razor blades melted into toothbrush handles, apparently after boasting about his sickening crime. The newspaper said the two suspects turned themselves in to prison officials.
The alleged killers, aged 32 and 23, are due to appear in court tomorrow. A third man who was arrested by detectives is no longer being held in connection with the incident.
The cell where Harrison was found was cordoned off pending a full forensic examination.
Detective Chief Inspector Steve Chapman said, "We are carrying out a full investigation into the circumstances leading to this man's death and are working closely with the prison service."
