01/10/01 - Victoria killer
beaten 'to within inch of life'
STEPHEN MOYES
The Mirror
VENGEFUL prisoners battered the killer of eight-year-old
Victoria Climbie to "within an inch of his life".
Hated Carl Manning, 28, was beaten so mercilessly he was
left for dead. Blood stained the walls and corridor of
his jail wing.
A prison source said yesterday: "The attack lasted
for 10 minutes and at the end no one was sure if he
was breathing or not. The cons were disgusted at Manning's
treatment of Victoria and hit him with anything they
could find. He was beaten to within aninch of his life."
The attack by about five men took place in A wing at
Wakefield jail where Manning is serving life.
Last night, the killer was recovering in the jail health
centre. The Prison Service confirmed that an attack
was being investigated. Victoria, of Tottenham, North
London, died last year after being starved, beaten and
bound by her great aunt MarieTherese Kouao, 44, and
her boyfriend Manning.
She had 128 injuries. Kouao was also jailed for life
for murder.
A relative of Kouao tried to save Victoria's life with
an anonymous tip-off to Brent Council, an inquiry will
hear today. But there was no subsequent investigation.
