Convicted murderer has sentence extended in Cambridgeshire
He attacked prison officers with their own incapacitant spray.
A convicted murderer has had six months added onto his sentence after he attacked prison officers with their own incapacitant spray.
29 year old Cedric Kiyago was in an unlocked cell at HMP Whitemoor in February last year when he noticed another prisoner on the ground being restrained by prison officers.
Kiyago ran towards the scene and approached the officers from behind.
He grabbed one officer’s PAVA spray cannister, pulling it off the safety cord before hitting the same officer over the head with it.
Kiyago then deployed the PAVA spray at a group of officers, who were restraining another prisoner.
Kiyago denied assaulting emergency workers but was found guilty following a trial at Cambridge Crown Court.
DC Emma Purser said: “This was a nasty attack surrounding an incident that had nothing to do with Kiyago.
“The prison officers involved all had to receive medical treatment after being exposed to the PAVA spray, when they were just trying to do their job. To be attacked like this at work is completely unacceptable.”
