TWO brothers serving time in a New South Wales jail for a series of gang rapes have been bashed by eight other inmates, leaving one of them in a critical condition.
At 12.30pm (AEDT) yesterday a gang of eight prisoners at Goulburn jail attacked two of their fellow inmates in the prison yard, NSW Corrective Services said.
One of the bashed men, aged 26, sustained critical head injuries and was taken to Canberra Hospital where he remains in a stable condition, police said.
The other, a 28-year-old, was taken to Goulburn Base Hospital with arm injuries but has since been returned to the jail.
Authorities would not directly confirm the identities of the men but the Nine Network reported them to be the elder pair of four Pakistan-born brothers convicted in 2002 for a number of gang rapes, including that of Tegan Warner, who was 14 at the time.
The brothers, who were only to be identified in court by their initials, are serving between 10 and 28 years in prison.
It is just horrible........that these beasts were not killed outright. Congrats for a good effort, Oz-cons, and better luck next time.
