Prisoner carried out 'brutal' attack on sleeping cellmate because he didn't want to share room

A remand prisoner attacked his sleeping cellmate with sugared boiling water and razorblades because he didn't want to share the room. James Moore was on remand at HMP Bristol after being charged with a knife attack.

He warned staff he didn't want to share his cell, but Craig Doel was sent in to join him. After the pair chatted and watched TV, Mr Doel went to sleep.

He was awakened by the feeling of his face "on fire", and found Moore had thrown sugared boiling water over him and was slashing at his arms and legs with two razorblades melted into a toothbrush handle.
