Man arrested for raping a two-week-old baby was battered by fellow inmate inside Maghaberry prison
A 25-year-old inmate had to be rushed to the hospital after he was battered inside a prison for raping a two-week-old baby. The man was allegedly cornered by a fellow prisoner before being severely beaten up by multiple inmates.
The prisoner was immediately moved from a single cell after the brutal incident, which took place at Bann House last weekend in Maghaberry, one of the Northern Ireland's most secure prisons. According to The Irish Sun, he was kept in a single cell due to already serious concerns for his well being. The sex offender is moved to a secure unit at the prison facility's hospital. Meanwhile, the fellow prisoner who perpetrated the assault is reportedly stripped of his job privilege as a prison orderly. Authorities told The Irish Sun: “It was a few digs, just for a few seconds. Then there was some panic and staff moved in to sort it out.”
