Anwar, from Huddersfield, was serving a life sentence for killing his partner’s two-year-old daughter.

Smith and Newall tied him up and throttled him with a pair of tracksuit bottoms on Long Lartin’s Delta Wing on February 14.

The 24-year-old was serving a sentence of at least 23 years at the Category A jail, having been convicted of murdering Sanam Navsarka at Bradford Crown Court in 2009.
