Three men have appeared in court accused of killing a fellow prisoner. Ibrahim Musone, Bisharat Chaudry and Deedar Syed are charged with murdering Wayne Martin Reid at Rye Hill Prison in Willoughby, near Rugby, Warwickshire.
The men, aged 40, 30 and 25, are accused of stabbing 44-year-old Reid, from Birmingham, on 13 April.
They are also charged with conspiracy to murder. At Northampton Crown Court the men were all remanded in custody to reappear on 29 July.
A post-mortem examination revealed that Reid, from Balsall Heath, died of stab wounds.
He was serving a seven-year sentence for robbery at the 660-inmate jail, which is run by the private security company GSL.
Musone, Chaudry, and Syed appeared in the dock flanked by nine prison officers and spoke only to confirm their names.
