Convicted child killer and rapist Aaron Campbell has been rushed to hospital after allegedly being attacked in prison. The 20-year-old, who kidnapped, abused and murdered six-year-old Alesha MacPhail, was reportedly beaten in his cell at Polmont Young Offenders Institute on Wednesday.
A 22-year-old inmate has been reported to the procurator fiscal in relation to the attack. Campbell is normally kept separate from the other lags because of his notoriety and his sickening crime.
