(BBC) An inmate has admitted a string of prison attacks with homemade weapons, but continued to deny attempting to murder five prison officers.
Aklakar Rahman, 38, had repeatedly attacked staff at HMP Swaleside in Kent and high-security south London Belmarsh jail in September and October 2022, the Old Bailey has heard.
On Monday, he went on trial charged with 20 offences, including five of attempted murder.
He changed some of his pleas on Friday but continues to deny the five murder charges and one of having an article with a sharpened point or blade in prison.
Giving evidence in his defence, Rahman made a series of admissions under cross-examination leading to him changing some of his pleas, pleading guilty to five alternate charges of attempted wounding.
