Two men have been charged with attempted murder after the father of murdered schoolgirl Sara Sharif was attacked in prison.
Steven Sansom, 47, and Adam Watson, 39, are accused of trying to kill Urfan Sharif at HMP Belmarsh on New Year’s Day last year.
The Crown Prosecution Service said the pair are due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on August 26.
It is understood the charges relate to an incident in which Sharif was allegedly ambushed in a cell at the category A prison by two inmates armed with the jagged lid of a tuna tin.
