Arthur Freeman, 54, known for the heinous murder of his four-year-old daughter Darcey in January 2009, was assaulted by another inmate at Western Plains Correctional Centre in Lara, Australia, on April 8. Following the attack, Freeman was quickly taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The Department of Justice and Community Safety confirmed that corrections staff responded promptly to the incident, which occurred shortly before midday. Freeman was sentenced to life imprisonment with a non-parole period of 32 years and has been incarcerated in maximum-security since April 2011. His crime involved throwing Darcey off Melbourne's West Gate Bridge, just before she was to start school, which shocked the nation and led to his infamy.
