🚨 Shocking Incident at HMP Nottingham 🚨
A shocking episode unfolded at HMP Nottingham as Ethan Rowley, a 19-year-old serving time for serious offences, committed a brutal attack on a fellow inmate. Rowley, already facing a hefty 21-year sentence, surprised everyone by launching a seemingly unprovoked assault, pouring boiling water over another inmate during a shower.
The court, hearing the distressing details, revealed the victim suffered severe burns with his skin blistering and peeling. For this horrific act, Rowley receives an additional nine months behind bars.
Judge Michael Auty KC described the act as exceptionally serious given Rowley’s age and current lengthy sentence. Prosecutor Samantha Warner detailed the incident, describing how Rowley initially left the shower before returning with a mop bucket filled with scalding water. What followed was a nightmare for the victim, who experienced excruciating pain and was immediately taken for medical treatment.
Rowley, now 20, appeared via video link for further sentencing. His previous convictions for violence and recent charges paint a disturbing picture of a young man with a history of harmful behavior.
