Not a lot was made of Bambers violent streak of how himself slashed another prisoner with a broken bottle bear in mind he had to smash the bottle first which makes it more pre meditated, much was made of the attack on bamber later in 2004, his lawyers made sure bamber attacking an inmate was kept very low key and forgotten its a case of lets not show bamber can be violent, full Sutton was happy to go along because they don't like bad publicity.
Hi Ralf,,I do believe that JB was going to sue the prison for the injury that he'd received,but I'm not sure how that panned out.
You can blame a lot of what JB did on pent-up emotions,,because if that had been me couped up like a battery hen,,I'd have gone mad altogether and probably ended up in Broadmoor.
Bad enough being there when you've done something,,,,,,,,but when you haven't,,it's even worse.
Not a pleasant attack by any means,,,,but given the amount of years he's been there,I suppose it's nothing compared to what other prisoners have got up to. Take the guy who was glassed by JB,,,an absolute menace and by all accounts a nutcase because he was going around randomly knifing other inmates with the cobbled-up weapon he was using.
It was kept low key,,but for different reasons than reported probably.There's never smoke without fire,,,and I'm sure that if JB had kept up his vicious attacks,,,we'd certainly have kept hearing via the media.
