An “evil” sexual predator who murdered a primary school teacher has admitted attacking two prison guards.

Garage worker Koci Selamaj, 36, pleaded guilty to assaulting one guard, causing them actual bodily harm, and wounding another with intent.

Selamaj, originally from Eastbourne, was jailed for life in April 2022 for murdering Sabina Nessa in London.

Newcastle Crown Court heard yesterday that Selamaj attacked the two guards in May last year while being held at HMP Frankland Prison in County Durham.

The court said that he will be sentenced at the same court on June 14.

Selamaj refused to come to court when he was sentenced at the Old Bailey for Ms Nessa’s murder, causing widespread outrage.

That court heard how he travelled to London from the south coast to carry out the premeditated attack on a random woman on September 17 2021.

He targeted Ms Nessa as she walked through the park to meet a friend.

Ms Nessa, who taught a year one class at Rushey Green Primary School in Catford, was found nearly 24 hours later near a community centre in the park.

Days later, Selamaj, from Eastbourne, was arrested in the seaside town and pleaded guilty to murder.

Mr Justice Sweeney said at the sentencing hearing that it was a “savage” sexually motivated attack.

He said Ms Nessa was the “wholly blameless victim of an absolutely appalling murder which was entirely the fault of the defendant”.

Her death added to “the sense of insecurity” particularly felt by women walking through the city at night, he added.
