THE man accused of killing nine-year-old LiliaValutye was slashed and battered in a brutal jail attack.<\/p>\n
Deividas Skebas, 22, was air-lifted to hospital after being \u201cleft for dead\u201d in a cell ambush by vengeful lags.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Slightly-built Skebas had tried to shelter in his cell at Category A Wakefield Prison, West Yorkshire \u2013 but was savagely attacked by an inmate wielding a makeshift \u201cshank\u201d weapon.<\/p>\n
The fruit-picker \u2013 accused of the broad-daylight murder in Boston, Lincolnshire, which shocked Britain – was treated in hospital and stayed overnight before returning to his cell the next day.<\/p>\n
And a souce said: \u201cSkebas was beaten to a pulp and also slashed with a makeshift shank weapon – likely a razor blade in a toothbrush.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople have been plotting against him for a while and on Sunday they got their chance, with a few running into his cell and ambushing him.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was one bloke who meted out the beating, aided by a couple of others who joined in and kept watch.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was in a very bad way and was basically left for dead.<\/p>\n
\u201cGuards found him and acted very quickly, and he was taken to hospital by air ambulance.<\/p>\n
\u201cSkebas has had a target on his back since he arrived \u2013 and really this attack was only a matter of time.<\/p>\n

Police are investigating the attack.<\/p>\n Skebas, of Boston, appeared at Lincoln Crown Court on August 1 accused of murder. He spoke only to confirm his name and address and kept his head bowed.<\/p>\n He was remanded in custody, and moved to a normal wing at Wakefield Prison – dubbed Monster\u2019s Mansion as it holds fiends including Tia Sharpe murderer Stuart Hazell and cop killer Kamel Bourgass.<\/p>\n Skebas is due at a plea and trial preparation hearing on September 19.<\/p>\n Little Lilia was knifed in the street in Boston as she played with her sister outside a caf\u00e9 where her mother, Lina, was working.<\/p>\n Haunting footage showed her playing hula-hoop with her younger sibling minutes before the attack at 6.20pm on Thursday July 28.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n An inquest has heard that Harry Potter fan Lilia died from a stab wound to the chest.<\/p>\n A Prison Service spokesperson said: \u201cA prisoner at HMP Wakefield was treated in hospital for injuries following an assault by another prisoner. We are unable to comment further while police investigate."<\/p>\nEastEnders star dies aged just 38 as devastated family pay tribute<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n
