There is one simple question which lies unanswered at the heart of the fatal attack on Zahid Mubarek in Feltham Young Offenders’ Institution at 3.35am on Tuesday 21 March 2000: Why was he sharing a cell with Robert Stewart when there was information within the Prison Service that Stewart was a violent and sometimes racist psychopath?
Was the teenager’s placement in that cell, accidental, negligent or, worse still, deliberate?
Comment: No comment. I am just emotionally too flooded as the answers to these questions are intuitively obvious.
