Newly released video shows two British prisoners who break into a huge smile, moments before they beat a convicted sex offender in his cell.
Film material On Thursday released Shows a shirtless Ashirie Smith, 19, and colleague -prisoner Thierry Robinson, 21, who sneaks a walk from the prison of his Majesty in Leicestershire, flashy smiles while they crawl to the cell of Mahir Abdulrahman.
They came forward 37 seconds later – with a director who soon found Abdulrahman unconscious within the inner conscious.
The prisoner who, according to the sun, picked out a 35-week punishment for sex offenses, was declared dead within the hour because of bleeding in the brain.
He had asked to be moved to a new cell shortly before the attack last August, and another prisoner said that the accused had had him “terrorizing for days,” said witness that was heard during the trial.
Smith, who served for a arms tax at the time of the attack, was found guilty of murder on Thursday. He was sentenced to life in prison with at least 17 ½ years served.
Robinson was released from murder but was found guilty of manslaughter. He was sentenced to 11 years in prison.
A third suspect – Shan Karim, 38 – was not found guilty of murder and manslaughter.
“Every death in prison is a tragedy, but the murder of Mr. Abdulrahman was a horrible act,” said prison director Wyn Jones.
“My thoughts remain with his family and those affected by his early death.”
