He threatened to 'start kicking off and stabbing people'
CCTV footage from body-worn cameras of the officers was played to the court and showed Clarke becoming agitated in the doorway. He could be heard swearing and said “I will do every one of you, do you want me to start kicking off and start stabbing people? I will kill as many of you as I can. Do you think I’m scared of anyone?”
Clarke threatened to kill prison officers who tried to remove a games console from his cell at HMP Wealstun. After slamming his cell door in the officers’ faces, he later calmed down and passed the weapons through the hatch. Along with the spike, there was a piece of plastic with shards of razor blade attached. He was then taken to the segregation unit.
Clarke, aged 25, has a history of firearms offences, and is serving a 64-month sentence. He was given an additional 10 months in October 2021 after being found to have a phone – a prohibited item in prison.Advertisement
