BREAKING: Major change to prison kitchen use after Manchester Arena terrorist's horror oil attack

Prisoners being housed in separation centres have been banned from using kitchens after Arena bomber Hashem Abedi attacked three prison guards with hot cooking oil, according to reports.

Abedi threw hot cooking oil over three officers on Saturday before stabbing them with "home-made weapons", the Prison Officers' Association (POA) said. The officers sustained life-threatening injuries including burns, scalds and stab wounds in the "unprovoked" and "vicious" attack in HMP Frankland, Country Durham. Two officers sustained "severe stab wounds" but are in a stable condition in hospital.

Hashem Abedi is serving at least 55 years behind bars after helping his suicide bomber brother Salman plan the 2017 attack, which killed 22 innocent people and injured hundreds outside Manchester Arena after an concert. The 28-year-old is believed to have collected sachets of butter and melted the contents, before throwing the hot oil over a female prison officer.
