Child Murderer Mark Bridger Attacked In Prison
The man jailed for the murder of five-year-old April Jones, has been attacked in prison.
It has been reported that Mark Bridger, who is serving a full-life term at Wakefield prison, was slashed across the face with a makeshift blade.
It is likely he will be left permanently scarred.
The Ministry of Justice would only confirm: "A prisoner from HMP Wakefield was taken to hospital on 7 July. The incident is being investigated by the police."
Bridger, 46, was convicted of abducting April as she played on her bicycle with a friend in the mid-Wales town of Machynlleth and murdering her. He was also found guilty of destroying, disposing of or concealing her remains, which have not been found.
