Man who murdered eight-year-old Sarah Payne savagely attacked in jail cell by fellow inmates
Notorious child killer Roy Whiting was left "drenched in blood" in what has been reported as a vicious attack in prison. The 59-year-old pedophile was jailed for life in 2001 for murdering eight-year-old Sarah Payne. He was "left for dead" after being attacked by two convicted murderers in his cell. Whiting was "repeatedly" stabbed with makeshift blades before the alert officers at the high-security Wakefield prison in West Yorkshire were able to stop it.
The Sun reported that he was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital in Leeds in a "critical" condition after receiving multiple stab wounds to his upper body. The medics initially thought that he wouldn't make it through the night but the quick thinking of the prison staff and the medics were able to save him.
