Mitchell Harrison was sentenced to four years in prison at the
notorious Frankland Prison, home of child killer Ian Huntley (who last
year had his throat cut). When quizzed by other inmates, Harrison would
brag about the intricacies of his sexual exploits (this the third time
he was caught for sexual offences on minors). It’s this bragging that is
thought to have ended his life.
On Saturday morning, having
made makeshift weapons out of toothbrushes and razors, two inmates at
Frankland prison confronted Harrison in his cell, slit open his stomach,
and to ensure he was dead pulled out some of his internal organs onto
the floor, essentially disemboweling him.
The two men aged 23
and 32 then cleaned themselves up, went to eat breakfast, then turned
themselves into officers for the crime, which at that point had gone
undetected.
Harrison’s previous offences included sexual assault
on a 7 year old when he was 13, and stalking and threatening to rape a
15-year-old classmate in his school. In his boasts however Harrison
stated he had committed more offences than he had been found guilty of.
He was sentenced to prison after luring a 13-year-old into a flat and
raping her twice.
Officials state that the scene of the murder
was extreme, and almost ritualistic in its detail. Many of those who saw
the scene, stated they had never seen anything quite so horrific. The
murder was not only a killing; it was a message to other prisoners. Most
prisoners tend to keep quiet about their offences, but it is claimed
that Harrison never stopped talking about his, a fact that ultimately
contributed to his death.
