Sentence due next month

An inmate at the Isle of Man Prison has admitted assaulting a prison guard.

Thirty-three-year-old Donovan Wesley Kitching will be sentenced next month, once a social enquiry report has been prepared.

He punched the guard on the side of the head, following a tussle with four of them as they tried to escort him to the prison's segregation unit.

The guard ended up with a grazed temple.

The incident happened on 10 March.

He's due to be sentenced on 26 July.
