Aklakur Rahman.
“I’m going to die for the cause.”
What did he mean by this?
Surely Moslems in the UK believe in the same cause as the rest of their fellow British people?
A violent inmate is accused of launching a series of barbaric attacks on prison officers and an inmate, a court has heard.
Lincoln Crown Court was told Aklakur Rahman used makeshift weapons constructed from razor blades to slash a prison officer and a fellow prisoner during an incident at Wayland Prison in Norfolk.
The two victims were left seriously injured with each needing dozens of stitches, officials heard.
The jury was told that Rahman was subsequently transferred to Lincoln Prison and days later tried to murder a prison officer using a piece of masonry he had managed to conceal in his cell.
He was then moved to Wakefield Jail where, despite being held under the strictest security conditions, he went on to slash another prison officer using a screw, the court heard.
…
Mr Bradley said: “Using a makeshift weapon the defendant repeatedly aimed blows at Mr Sutton’s neck and face shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ God is great.
“At one stage Mr Sutton was put to the floor but he regained his footing and ran away towards a locked security gate but Rahman was not yet finished and followed him using the weapons to deliver another blow to Mr Sutton’s neck.”
Mr Bradley said that prison officer Derek Walker went to assist Mr Sutton and managed to knock the weapon out of Rahman’s hands but Rahman ran to a nearby store and fetched a second similar weapon made from razor blades.
Mr Walker, assisted by other prison officers, ordered Rahman to drop the weapon but instead he pointed the weapon at Mr Walker shouting “I’m going to kill you. I’m going to die for the cause.”
Court officials were then told Rahman then slashed Mr Walker to the head with the blade before he was overpowered.
