The prisoner then used his scissors to stab the prison goveor once in the head and then 16 times in his body. The official died before reaching hospital.
The 29-year-old prisoner had been sentenced several months earlier to 17 1/2 years behind bars for murdering a young man, whom he stabbed 57 times.
