MANCHESTER, UK — A gangster jailed life for murder has been accused of a razor blade attack on two prison wardens just months after referring to himself as a ‘laid back guy’ on a pen pal website for inmates.

Clifton Jeter, 36, is currently housed at HMP Manchester after he was jailed in 2008 for the murder of a father-of-seven during a bungled a ‘honey trap’ robbery.

He is considered the prime suspect in the attack on two prison wardens, according to the Daily Mail.

The two wardens were slashed with a makeshift weapon made out of a razor blade melted into the head of a toothbrush while they escorted inmates to a segregation unit.

One of the warders needed stitches after being left with a five-inch gash across the back of his neck.

The other officer suffered cuts to his face, arm and leg.

Both work at HMP Manchester, formally known as Strangeways.
