A hitman who murdered a gang leader known as 'Mr Big' has been stabbed in prison. Mark Fellows, 42, known as The Iceman, received injuries to his head and neck and had to be treated by prison medics at the maximum security HMP Wakefield, in West Yorkshire, on Saturday, May 6, reports the MEN.
It is not the first time the double murderer has been attacked in prison. Just one month after he was jailed in 2019, he was attacked with a razor blade inside HMP Whitemoor in Cambridgeshire and left with a scar.
Fellows was given a rare whole-life term for two counts of murder in January 2019 following a 26-day trial. He was found guilty of being the "gun for hire", instructed to kill 55-year-old Paul Massey, a leading member of the underworld in Manchester and more widely, in 2015. A judge told him he was simply "prepared to kill whoever you were asked to kill".
