Mr Nikolai, who is currently serving a three-year jail term for theft, this morning pleaded guilty to breaking the jaw of fellow prisoner Omar Osman, who is serving a jail term for holding awoman against her will and violently, indecently assaulting her, on July 19, 2012.

Mr Osman told the court that he forgave Mr Nikolai.

Magistrate Saviour Demicoli also ordered Mr Nikolai to follow an anger management course.

Lawyer Roberto Montalto appeared for the accused.
