Two inmates at HMP Belmarsh, 47-year-old Steven Sansom and 39-year-old Adam Watson, have been formally charged with the attempted murder of fellow prisoner Urfan Sharif. The charges follow an incident within the high-security facility where Sharif is currently incarcerated.

Urfan Sharif is serving a prison sentence for the murder of his 10-year-old daughter, Sara Sharif, a case that drew significant national attention. While all reporting outlets confirm the charges of attempted murder, there is a slight variation in how the incident is described. BBC News reports that the pair face additional charges related to the incident, whereas Sky News and The Independent focus specifically on the attempted murder charge in their headlines.

The legal proceedings are now underway following the attack. Authorities have not provided further details regarding the specific nature of the incident or the current condition of Urfan Sharif, though the severity of the charges indicates a significant violent event occurred within the prison walls. The case highlights the ongoing security challenges within the UK prison system, particularly concerning high-profile inmates.
