Simon Levy, described by outlets as a double murderer, is set to stand trial next year after denying allegations that he stabbed a prison guard in the neck with a pen and attempted to strangle him.
Both reports say the incident occurred in February at Belmarsh prison. Levy denies the account given by prosecutors, and the charges relate specifically to the alleged attack on the guard, including the method used and the alleged attempt to strangle.
While the outlets provide broadly consistent descriptions of the allegations and the timing, they differ mainly in emphasis and wording. One report frames the matter as Levy “faces trial,” while another refers to “set to stand trial next year,” but neither changes the core claim: he is accused of attacking the guard with a pen in the neck and trying to strangle him, and he disputes those allegations.
