A UK court has increased the sentence of a convicted murderer after he was found guilty of killing his cellmate while serving time. According to court reports, the inmate attacked and murdered his fellow prisoner during a violent incident inside the facility. The judge said the gruesome act showed a clear disregard for human life.

The court explained that although the man was already serving a long sentence, the severity of the new crime required additional punishment. Prosecutors argued that the attack was intentional and brutal, and therefore deserved a much tougher penalty to reflect the seriousness of the offence.

During the hearing, prison officials described how the incident created fear among other inmates and raised urgent concerns about safety within the correctional facility. They stressed the need for stronger monitoring measures to prevent similar cases in the future.

In the final ruling, the judge added more years to the prisoner’s existing sentence, making it unlikely for him to be released anytime soon. Authorities said the decision sends a message that violence inside prisons will not go unpunished, no matter the offender’s status.
