A Fatal Accident Inquiry (FAI) is to be held into the death of a man at Low Moss Prison.

Darren Brownlie, who was facing trial for allegedly attempting to abduct a six-year-old boy, was attacked within his cell by three prisoners on Monday, January 6, 2020. Catastrophic failures led to a five-hour delay in paramedics reaching the 47-year-old, by which time he was “unresponsive” in a pool of blood and later died, as reported by the Record.

Craig Derrick, 31, Brian Laing, 27, and David Till, 33, were sentenced to 20 years in prison for the planned attack . The court heard that Darren had been summoned to Derrick’s cell and attacked, suffering a number of injuries to the face including heavy bleeding from his nose.
