A shocking incident at HMP Wakefield as Declan Bickerdike attacks Keith Morris, leaving him with serious injuries and hearing loss
Wakefield: A brutal scene unfolded at HMP Wakefield, known as “Monster Mansion.” Declan Bickerdike, a 26-year-old murderer, attacked Keith Morris, a convicted paedophile, in his cell.
Bickerdike, who got a life sentence for murder, was serving time when he decided to target Morris. The attack happened in January 2023, and it was quite shocking.
Morris, a locksmith, was already serving an 18-year sentence for horrific crimes against young girls. He had a twisted reputation, using his status to exploit vulnerable kids.
During the attack, Bickerdike distracted Morris before striking him from behind. It was a cowardly move, and the judge didn’t hold back in his comments about it.
Morris suffered serious injuries, including hearing loss. He shared how the attack left him in shock and struggling with anxiety. He now feels isolated and fearful in prison.
In court, Morris described the pain and confusion he felt during the attack. He’s worried about his future and how this incident has changed his life behind bars.
Bickerdike, who has a history of violence, received a seven-year sentence for this attack, which will run alongside his current murder sentence. The judge emphasized that he remains a threat.
While Morris has tried to be a model prisoner, Bickerdike’s actions have made life even harder for him. It’s a tough situation for everyone involved.
