Pakistani gang rapists bashed in Aussie Jail
2007-02-10
A heart-warming story!
Two brothers serving time in a NSW jail for a series of gang rapes have been bashed by eight other inmates, leaving one of them in a critical condition.

At 12.30pm (AEDT) on Thursday a gang of eight prisoners at Goulburn jail attacked two of their fellow inmates in the prison yard, NSW Corrective Services said.
There's a pecking order in prison, and rapists are near the bottom, just above child murderers and pedophiles.
One of the bashed men, aged 26, sustained critical head injuries and was taken to Canberra Hospital where he remains in a stable condition, police said.
Oooooh! Stable, is he? Me like stable; just like Franco and Pinochet!
The other, a 28-year-old, was taken to Goulburn Base Hospital with arm injuries but has since been returned to the jail.

Authorities would not directly confirm the identities of the men but the Nine Network reported them to be the elder pair of four Pakistan-born brothers convicted in 2002 for a number of gang rapes, including that of Tegan Warner, who was 14 at the time. The brothers, who were only able to be identified in court by their initials, are serving between 10 and 28 years in prison.
And the one with the squashed melon, in particular, isn't likely to make it.

#11  Thanks, guys. I've bookmarked the Urban Dictionary site, Omolurt Elmeaper6990. Wonderful! And since I wasn't really up on the slang of my youth, it won't make me feel old. ;-)

#10  I wonder if some Australian would take up a small collection to provide cartons of cigarettes to those inmates who give "nasty" Muslim prisoners a good thumping?

It would change the complexion of things if Muslims in Australia had more of a fear of going to prison.

#9  A standover man is muscle for crims. The name is the job description.

#8   I'm still working on polishing my Australian. What's a standover man?

There are two definitions for the term at the Urban Dictionary! Great place to find definitions of obscure slang and terminology.

#6  Wild guess : official/appointed snitch for the correctional system, IE snooping around and telling which inmates didn't do this or did that???

#4  I note the paper can name the victim but not the perps.

#3  According to Sky News Australia the brothers were acting as standover men against other inmates, who retaliated in the protective custody wing.

Their victim is regularly named, but they are referred to by their initials only, which are
MSK and MAK.

#2  Welcome to 'Western' Honor. I guess the boys didn't know that a lot of Oz inmates have daughters. And like most 'westerners' in their concept of 'honor' you don't kill the daughter for being raped. Instead the 'honor' is rendering justice to the rapist.
