Edinburgh Prisoner Slashed By Fellow Inmate With 'Psychotic Traits'

A pedophile monster was left badly scarred in a prison razor attack by a fellow inmate behind a string of slashings.

Damien McCann was caged for repeatedly raping a girl, starting when she was aged 10, as his vile wife filmed the abuse.

The 37-year-old was left in agony after being set upon by Damian Fowler with a razor blade in the mess hall at Edinburgh’s Saughton Prison.

McCann, who has been sentenced to ten-and-a-half years, sustained significant cuts to his face, including a wound that extended from the center of his left cheek to his left ear.

Fowler, who is 44 years old and has a history of blade attacks while in prison, was previously warned by a judge that he exhibited psychotic traits. One of his recent victims, McCann, suffered a laceration that extended from the middle of his left cheek to his left ear.

According to the Record, Fowler made an appearance at the city's sheriff's court on Tuesday from custody and admitted to assaulting McCann, causing him injury and permanent disfigurement.

During the court hearing, Fiscal Depute Chelsea Martin stated that Fowler used a razor blade to assault McCann in the mess area, causing significant injury. According to Martin, McCann suffered a vertical laceration that ran the length of the left side of his face, which required medical attention to be glued closed.

Additionally, a second horizontal laceration that extended from the middle of his cheek to his ear was also glued. The court was informed that McCann also sustained a small laceration above his left eyebrow. The incident occurred on November 28, 2021.

According to defense agent David Allan, Fowler is currently serving a prison term of two years and three months. Fowler received this sentence last November after he attacked inmate Jonathan Burns in May 2021 in the Glenesk wing at Saughton Prison, causing injury and permanent disfigurement by striking Burns with a sharp instrument on his neck and body.

 

Following that attack, Judge Lord Fairley placed Fowler on an Order for Lifelong Restriction (OLR) at the High Court in Glasgow.

 

In February 2012, Fowler was involved in another slashing incident while in jail, where he inserted a sharp object into inmate Mugo Dalmar's cheek at Saughton Prison. After the attack, Fowler made comments to prison officers stating, "He had it coming" and "I'm sick of his games".

Fowler has a history of criminal convictions, including a 2001 incident where he held a carving fork to the neck of a frightened shop assistant during a one-hour release from a psychiatric facility in Edinburgh. In addition, he was sentenced to 32 months in prison for assault causing injury and permanent disfigurement in a previous incident.

In March 2021, McCann was sentenced to jail time for repeatedly raping a young girl over the course of nearly three years in a house located in Dalkeith, Midlothian. During the hearing, a judge learned that McCann's wife had "encouraged" her husband's sickening behavior.

 

During the trial, McCann claimed that the young girl he repeatedly raped was "happy" during the attacks. McCann's wife, Mary McCann, was also accused of involvement in the abuse, but she tragically took her own life at the age of 39 in January 2020. Police initially raided the couple's residence in relation to indecent images but discovered footage of the girl's abuse during the investigation.

During the police investigation, it was uncovered that there were 20 video clips of McCann raping the young girl, with the "majority" of the footage having been filmed by his wife.

A Scottish Prison Service spokesman said: "We continue to work with individuals in our care to reduce violence and offer support to those affected by it."
