Glasgow Times:

The 20-year-old was caged for 27 years, later cut to 24 on appeal, for the rape and murder of six-year-old Alesha MacPhail on the Isle of Bute. The Airdrie schoolgirl was on holiday visiting her family when the evil teen crept into her home and snatched her from her bed in July 2018. 

A source told the newspaper that the attack left his "front tooth through his lip" and happened after his door was briefly left open during mealtime. It is claimed that his attacker had to be dragged off Campbell.

The prison source told the newspaper: "His door was open and someone saw the opportunity and took it.

“He pushed Campbell onto his bed and started leathering him and got a good few shots in.

“Campbell wasn’t expecting it at all, he never said anything.

“He got rushed to hospital after his front tooth ended up sticking through his lip.

"Everyone in here is happy, staff have been making sly comments that he deserved it.

“He’s normally kept apart from everyone in here as everyone wants to hang him.

“They would kill him if they could because of what he did to that wee girl.

“But there was a brief chance to get at him and the boy took it. He could get a serious assault charge against him but he’s not bothered, he says it was worth it.”

A Scottish Prison Service spokesperson told the newspaper: “We do not comment on individual prisoners.”
