Greenock firebomb murder bid accused ‘slashed’ and ‘beaten’ by prisoner in jail attack
22.03.2022 - 16:05 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A man charged with petrol bombing a house in Greenock has been left injured after being ‘slashed’ in prison.
Craig MacFarlane was reportedly knifed while standing on a communal hallway landing at HMP Greenock on Saturday afternoon.
The 26-year-old is understood to have suffered injuries to his face and body after he was also allegedly punched and kicked by a fellow inmate.
A source told the Daily Record that he required stitches for the knife wounds, which are not believed to be life-threatening.
MacFarlane is on remand at the jail after being charged with torching a property on Greenock’s Union Street in July 2020.
Prosecutors claim he did “wilfully set fire to cloth within glass bottles containing accelerant, commonly known as a petrol bomb”.
The charge against him alleges that he then threw a number of Molotov cocktails at the property resulting in the window frame and curtain catching fire.
MacFarlane is also accused of attempting to murder Rosaleen Sutherland and Leonard Cole, who were in the house at the time.
He made no plea during two private appearances at Greenock Sheriff Court and was remanded in custody.
