April Jones’ evil killer Mark Bridger attacked in jail as little girl’s family warn sicko ‘deserves everything he gets’
THE killer of five-year-old April Jones has been targeted in jail for a second time.
Mark Bridger was set upon by another lag at HMP Wakefield last week.
In the first attack, soon after he was jailed, Bridger needed stitches for facial injuries from being slashed with a knife fashioned out of a razor.
The latest attack left Bridger with grazes to his hands.
The Prison Service said his assailant was on report ahead of a hearing to decide his punishment.
Last night, April’s half-sister, Hazel, said: “He deserves everything he’s getting. He literally deserves it all.”
April was snatched while playing near her home in Machynlleth, Powys, in October 2012.
Despite one of the largest police searches in British history, her body has never been found.
Bridger, who rented a flat nearby, was given a whole-life term in 2013 for child abduction, murder, perverting justice and the unlawful concealment and disposal of a body.
Hazel said: “I’ve got kids myself now and it’s scary to know there are people like that living on your doorstep.
“I am glad he’s in prison for life. He’s going to carry on getting hurt.”
April and Hazel’s father, Paul Jones, died last month from a brain disease.
“He died not knowing where my sister was,” Hazel added.
