Ferencz-Rudolf Pusok was jailed for life in 2020 after admitting the murder of cellmate Brett Lowe
Prison staff missed opportunities to help a man who was murdered by his cellmate, an inquest has found.
Mr Lowe was found on the floor and unresponsive by prison staff at about 10:20 BST on the morning of 18 July, but despite receiving medical assistance from staff he died at Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham hours later.An inquest jury found the death was an "unlawful killing contributed to by neglect" and "was preventable had reasonable action been taken" by prison staff.
During a sentencing hearing in 2020, a court heard Mr Lowe said Pusok tried to "throttle" him as he slept, but neither inmate was moved and both were told to "calm down" by a senior prison officer. Mr Lowe made further efforts to arrange a move, and again reported Pusok's "bizarre behaviour", but the incident was not investigated and "nothing was recorded to acknowledge the incident, its severity and the associated heightened risk".
