How terrible..

Yorkshire Evening Post:

Kidnapper Michael Donovan has been attacked in jail for the second time.
Donovan, who held nine-years-old Shannon Matthews for 24 days in a swindle plot with the child's mother Karen, is in Leeds prison at Armley awaiting sentence.

He suffered a double fracture to his jaw when another prisoner attacked him while he was in jail during the trial.

He was briefly released this week for treatment for the injury.

But on his return to Armley he was attacked again and suffered a bruised face.

Donovan, 40, is being held in Armley's segregation unit, known as "the seg," for prisoners deemed to be at risk of violence from other inmates.

The latest attack took place in the prison's medical wing.

Donovan and Karen Matthews, 33, were found guilty of kidnapping Shannon by a jury at Leeds Crown Court. The court was told they hoped to claim £50,000 from a national newspaper for Shannon's safe return.

Donovan imprisoned Shannon at his flat at Batley, where she was discovered under a bed by police.

Shannon's disappearance led to a massive police hunt backed by local people.

Karen Matthews is being held in New Hall prison at Wakefield awaiting sentence.


Really, how awful.

I love the next part of the article:

What's the weather forecast for Leeds today?


Haha! coincidence, I know, but it just looks like nobody gives a damn out here, in the YEP, or anywhere else!

"So, anyway, what's the weather forecast for Leeds today? "
