LynnMall attacker assaulted in prison, documents reveal

From Morning Report, 7:45 am on 23 May 2022

Newly-released documents show the LynnMall knife attacker Ahamed Samsudeen was assaulted twice in prison.

They also show he was blamed for starting a third fight.

The 32-year-old was shot dead by armed police after a frenzied attack in a supermarket last September, in which he injured eight people.

Officers had been surveilling him round-the-clock as a terrorist threat.

Our reporter Phil Pennington has been looking at the information.
