URGENT UPDATE: Stephen Griffiths, infamously dubbed the “Crossbow Cannibal,” has been attacked in prison once again, marking yet another violent incident in his tumultuous incarceration. This latest assault occurred on February 14, 2024, at HMP Full Sutton, where sources report Griffiths instigated a confrontation with another inmate, resulting in a fistfight that left him “too scared to leave his cell.”
Griffiths, now in his mid-50s, was convicted in 2010 for the brutal murders of three women: Suzanne Blamires, Shelley Armitage, and Susan Rushworth. His capture stemmed from shocking CCTV footage that revealed the chilling moments leading to Blamires’ death. Despite being sentenced to a whole life term, Griffiths has continued to face violence behind bars and has come close to death on multiple occasions.
In a harrowing incident in 2019, an inmate attacked Griffiths with a homemade wooden spear at HM Prison Long Lartin, leaving him with a “large puncture wound” to his chest. Investigators have confirmed that Griffiths has a history of self-harm and was treated for superficial wounds after cutting himself with glass just months after his conviction.
Most recently, Griffiths was reportedly “knocked unconscious” by a fellow inmate connected to his victim, Suzanne Blamires. An insider disclosed, “He was unhappy being on a wing with his friend’s killer,” heightening the tension within the prison walls.
The violence surrounding Griffiths highlights ongoing issues within the prison system, with sources indicating he has faced multiple assaults since his incarceration began. Authorities have frequently relocated him due to safety concerns.
The emotional impact of his crimes continues to resonate, with families of his victims still seeking justice and closure. Griffiths’ notorious case has drawn significant media attention, particularly due to the gruesome nature of his crimes, which included dismemberment and cannibalism.
As Griffiths struggles to navigate life in prison, the implications of his actions and their consequences remain a somber reminder of the devastation he caused. The public and the families of his victims will continue to watch his case closely, emphasizing the need for safety and order within the prison system.
