A man who killed a law student over a designer jacket in Walthamstow has had his sentence extended for attacking prison officers.
Marvin Ward, previously of Goodmayes, was serving a 16-year prison sentence for the manslaughter of Hussain Chaudhry when he carried out the attack at HMP Isis in south east London.
At Woolwich Crown Court on Tuesday (February 3) Ward was given an extra 23 weeks to serve.
The new sentence will begin as soon as he is eligible to apply for parole, two-thirds of the way through his manslaughter sentence.
The court heard that Ward became hostile towards a female prison officer on December 4, 2024.
After raising his arms and shouting “you lot think I’m a joke” he struck a male officer multiple times then turned on the female officer.
During the attack he was heard to shout “anyone who touches me is getting it”.
Ward, 23, was jailed for manslaughter in February 2022.
He and a friend, Alexis Morris, formerly of Seven Kings, were found guilty of killing 18-year-old Hussain outside his family home in Lea Bridge Road, Walthamstow.
Ward and Morris went to the home with the pretext of buying a jacket.
Despite initially appearing willing to pay for the jacket, the pair then threatened Hussain and attempted to flee with the stolen item.
Upon hearing the commotion, Hussain’s two brothers intervened and managed to detain Morris.
An ensuing altercation spilled into the street, during which Ward inflicted the fatal blow to Hussain's neck, which a court heard "almost went straight through his body".
The teenager is said to have died in his mother's arms at the scene.
