A child killer who sank his teeth into a prison officer has had his minimum 14-year jail sentence increased.
Jordan McCready, who is serving life for battering a 13-year-old boy to death, will spend an extra three months behind bars for the attack.
He left teeth marks on prison warder James Christie's hand after biting him when staff at Perth Prison intervened to control disruption.
Fiscal depute Michael Sweeney told Perth Sheriff Court : "He is a convicted prisoner in Perth, serving a life sentence for murder.
"He has no date of release at present. At 3pm on 10 April, 2021 the accused was seen shouting and swearing on the hall landing.
"Staff decided to place him back in his cell, to prevent disrupting other prisoners.
“As he was being escorted to his cell he was aggressive and abusive and was restrained to the ground by staff.
"While being restrained he continued to struggle with staff and bit the prison officer on the left hand. There was a bite mark but the skin was not broken."
McCready, 27, a prisoner at Perth, admitted attacking James Christie in the jail on 10 April, 2021, by biting him on the body.
Solicitor David Holmes, defending, said: "The punishment part of his sentence is 14 years. “Behaviour such as this will not go down well when he is seeking his eventual liberation.
