A teenage killer attacked a fellow inmate with a sharpened piece of wood during a church service to mark Prisons Week at a young offenders institution.

The attack took place in front of inmates and their parents as they gathered in the chapel at Wetherby YOI.

Leeds Crown Court heard the 16-year-old convicted murder took the 'shank' from his jogging bottoms and attacked his rival from behind.
