A man jailed for stabbing two brothers in the neck has been sentenced for attacking prison officers.

Jason Jones, 41, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 24 years after he attacked two men and injured a third at The Fox pub in Burwell, Cambridgeshire, in 2021.

The three victims suffered life-threatening injuries, and he was sentenced at Peterborough Crown Court after admitting three counts of attempted murder.

At Cambridge Crown Court on Friday, Jones – who is serving his sentence at HMP Frankland in County Durham – was sentenced to an additional three years and nine months in prison for potting (throwing faeces or urine at a person) and a Section 18 offence against two prison officers.

A Section 18 offence involves wounding or causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
