James Colton inquest: Medics criticised for missing cancer
Failures by prison medics to detect a killer's cancer and potentially prolong has life have been criticised by the prisons ombudsman.
Following an inquest, a jury returned a narrative conclusion into the death of James Colton, 34, from Swansea, who had complained of back pain for months.
Colton, who was serving a life sentence for the murder of a friend, died two days after being transferred to hospital from Long Lartin prison in Worcestershire.
The Ministry of Justice said it will consider the findings of the inquest.
