THE murderer of April Jones, Mark Bridger, has been attacked in prison.

Bridger, 52, was assaulted by another inmate at HMP Wakefield last week, prison officials have confirmed.

This isn’t the first time Bridger has been targeted; shortly after his imprisonment, he required stitches for facial wounds inflicted by a makeshift knife fashioned from a razor. The latest assault resulted in minor hand injuries.

A prison service spokesperson told The Mirror: “A prisoner has been placed on report for inflicting minor injuries on a second prisoner at HMP Wakefield.”
