Manchester Arena terrorist Hashem Abedi called a prison guard a ‘filthy pig’ in court today as he denied assaulting him.
Abedi, who conspired with his brother Salman over the bomb attack in 2017, entered a not guilty plea to assaulting Paul Edwards at Belmarsh prison in south-east London.
He also denied a charge of assaulting a second member of staff named Nick Barnett, during the 15-minute hearing.
Asked to enter a plea to the first charge on Thursday, Abedi, wearing a black, green and white zip-up jacket and with his hair grown out, told Westminster Magistrates’ Court: ‘I did assault that filthy pig, but I don’t see any harm in doing that.’
Appearing on his 24th birthday via video link from HMP Frankland in County Durham, he added: ‘This is my plea.’
Abedi was making his first public appearance in more than a year since refusing to attend the final weeks of his Manchester bombing murder trial at the Old Bailey.
Asked to enter a plea on the second charge, Abedi said: ‘Same as before. I don’t see any wrongdoing.’
Chief magistrate Paul Goldspring formally recorded not guilty pleas.
Parsons Green Tube bomber Ahmed Hassan, who also appeared in court, pleaded not guilty to assaulting Mr Edwards on May 11 last year.
But addressing the chief magistrate, he said: ‘I want to make three points before I confirm my name.
‘I want you to know that I hate you very much because you are a judge, judging by other than the law of Allah.
‘You will be destined for hellfire unless you repent and submit yourself to the law of Allah. I am not represented and evidence has not been disclosed to me.’…
