This sorry excuse for a man has been awarded £4500 in compensation for being attacked in jail!
The judge should be locked up for awarding it.
Disgraceful all round,And Bellfield should suffer 24/7 for his hideous crimes.
This was the guy responsible for the murder of Milly Dowler amongst others, right? Bound to be down to insufficient and inadequate staffing numbers in Wakefield prison, where the incident took place.
Criminal system is ridiculous in allowing "compensation" in these circumstances, the report I read said he suffered only minor cuts.
The judge should be locked up for awarding it.

Daily Mail anger aside, are you saying that, in cases of assault in prisons, the judge should just look at who's been attacked, cross-reference it against the crime originally committed and then make a judgment as to whether it was alright?
Given that Bellfield was sentenced for two counts of imprisonment with a no-release recommendation, he's hardly going to be waltzing down the Kings Road spending his payout!
Out of curiosity, what was the judge supposed to do? And what about if Bellfield had assaulted another prisoner - say, someone convicted of insurance fraud for instance?
The compensation culture goes beyond the pale when convicted murderers are able to claim amounts which the average person can only dream about.
Bellfield committed his crimes so should pay the price whether assaulted or not,After all he was an ex bouncer so should be capable of looking after himself.
What about the last question I asked?
Once inside I think you must lose every right!
Can't do the time don't do the crime.
So Bellfield, jailed for murder, would be free to indulge himself further and kill any other prisoner, any time if the mood took him? He could throw in the odd bit of sexual assault too, right? After all...

Put it another way,
The taxman personally informs you your income tax will pay for his compensation..Would you be happy?
Let's just pretend for a moment that I agreed with your stance on this so much that I refused to pay that tax and squirreled it away somewhere out of principle. When I was ultimately jailed as a result of this tax stance, would I then be fair game for any jailed murderer to kill should they so wish under your proposition?
Once you break the law you know the consequences of your foolish actions,So whatever happens it's ultimately your own fault.
Out of further curiosity, any exceptions, or all ALL prisoners fair game?
And should we supply ammunition or weaponry of any kind to reduce the prison populations more quickly?

Maybe we should build a Colosseum. It could catch on...
Sounds good to meWhat a wonderful idea,I like it!
It would make millions,Imagine they could arrange league fixtures..Rapists v Nonces with the victors meeting mass killers in the final..The eventual champions to be hung drawn and quartered in public..Has my vote:smile:
