Rhys Jones killer put in isolation after stabbing Jake Fahri



04 November 2009 @ 04:33 pm BST

The man who murdered Rhys Jones has been put into isolation in prison after stabbing Jake Fahri, who killed altar boy Jimmy Mizen in 2008.

Sean Mercer, 18, shot 11-year-old Rhys Jones, in 2007 as Jones was walking home from football practice.

Fahri killed school boy Jimmy Mizen during a fight in which Mizen’s neck artery was cut by a glass dish in a bakery.

Both cases gained national attention and were among a string of high profile murders of young people by young people in 2007-08.

In an incident at Moorland prison in Doncaster on Monday, Mercer attacked and stabbed Fahri, reportedly with a pair of sharpened tweezers, as he was held down by a third prisoner.

Following the attack Fahri was taken to hospital for treatment while Mercer was put in isolation.
