Murderer's term extended for prison officer attack

Convicted killer Sean Obazee attacked an officer at HMP Whitemoor last August

A murderer serving 30 years for shooting dead an RAF cadet has had his sentence increased after he punched a prison officer.

Sean Obazee, 31, punched the officer in the face at HMP Whitemoor, near March, Cambridgeshire, on 28 August last year.

Police said he launched the unprovoked assault as the officer walked along a corridor and only stopped when other prison officers intervened.

The officer was not seriously hurt but Obazee, who admitted actual bodily harm, was given an additional prison term of 37 months at Cambridge Crown Court on Monday.

Det Con Tom Adams said: "This was a despicable and unprovoked assault on a prison guard just going about his job."

Obazee, now at HMP Long Lartin in Worcestershire, had been jailed for life with a minimum of 30 years in 2019.

He and an accomplice shot cadet Abdul Mayanja, 19, in the back with a shotgun in Stratford, in east London, in 2017.
