April Jones' Murderer Mark Bridger Attacked in Prison

HMP WAKEFIELD PRISON, JUL 7 – Mark Bridger has been assaulted multiple times in prison since 2013, with the latest attack causing minor injuries, while April Jones' family say he deserves such treatment.

  • In 2013, Mark Bridger received a life sentence without the possibility of release after being found guilty of abducting and murdering five-year-old April Jones in Machynlleth, Powys.
  • The case followed a major search involving police, rescue teams, and hundreds of volunteers after April was taken near her home in October 2012.
  • Pieces of April's body were discovered inside the cottage Bridger had rented, but despite thorough searches, her complete remains have never been located.
  • Prison officials confirmed Bridger was attacked at HMP Wakefield multiple times, including a recent incident causing minor hand grazes, and a prior slashing needing stitches.
  • April's family, including her half-sister Hazel, express support for Bridger’s imprisonment, while her father, Paul Jones, who was 56, passed away earlier this year without ever learning the full truth about April's fate.
