Killer of Stephen Lawrence clashes with Manchester Arena bomber in jail
21 Dec
Summary
- David Norris, a killer of Stephen Lawrence, argued with Hashem Abedi.
- The confrontation occurred at Belmarsh Prison in South East London.
- Norris's parole was denied due to ongoing concerns about racism and violence.
David Norris, convicted for the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence, recently clashed with Hashem Abedi, who is imprisoned for his role in the Manchester Arena bombing. The confrontation took place at Belmarsh Prison in South East London. Norris reportedly threatened Abedi, calling him a terrorist during a heated exchange.
This incident came to light following the Parole Board's decision to deny Norris's release. The board cited ongoing concerns about his racism and violent tendencies. Norris admitted to shouting at Abedi but denied using racial slurs, claiming his actions were stress-related and that terrorism generally "riled him."
Norris's parole was refused because he has continued to commit racist offenses in prison, including using racial slurs and throwing excrement at Muslim prisoners. He also exhibited abusive behavior towards staff and failed drug tests. Abedi, meanwhile, was sentenced to life for assisting his brother in the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing and faces further charges.
