NOTORIOUS killer and rapist Adrian Bayley has been stabbed in jail.
Bayley was wounded inside Barwon Prison, west of Melbourne, on Thursday. He suffered minor injuries. He is in jail for the murder of Jill Meagher at Brunswick in 2012, and a series of rapes.
The loathed prisoner has been held outside the mainstream jail units because of fears he would be a target for other prisoners.
Police have been called to investigate the attack.
A Corrections Victoria spokeswoman said: “A prisoner received minor injuries following an incident at Barwon Prison on Thursday afternoon.”
“The prisoner was assessed and treated at the prison, but did not require hospitalisation or any ongoing treatment.”
Bayley’s date is 2055.
One of Victoria’s worst sex offenders, Bayley raped up to two dozen women before he murdered Ms Meagher.
A series of bungles by the justice system allowed him to continue offending.
Bayley was convicted of sex attacks on five women and earliest release three under-age girls during two separate sprees in 1990 and 2000, but was not retrospectively listed on Victoria’s Sex Offenders Register when it was set up in 2004.
Bayley’s DNA was taken in 2001 after he was arrested for raping sex workers, but it was not added to the Victorian or national DNA databases because it was lost.
He was suspected of carrying out at least 16 attacks in six months during that time, stalking his prey and often taking them to laneways before trapping them in his car.
Police said in 2015 that the serial rapist was thought to have been responsible for at least 10 other attacks in which the women involved refused to make official statements.
Bayley was found guilty of three other rapes following Ms Meagher’s murder.
