An Edinburgh thug who has been dubbed one of the most dangerous offenders in Scotland stabbed two guards at a high-security prison.
Darren Cornelius was just 11 when he abducted a nine-year-old girl in Edinburgh and stabbed her repeatedly, narrowly missing an artery in her throat. The 32-year-old brute was detained in a secure unit for that attack and later was handed an order for lifelong restriction for stabbing a man.
Cornelius appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court today and admitted stabbing guards Andrew Phillips and Derek McKay at HMP Shotts in Lanarkshire on September 13 last year, as the Record reports.
