Killer reported as Vic jail stab victim

An inmate at Victoria's Barwon Prison has been stabbed, with convicted killer and rapist Adrian Bayley named as the victim.

Corrections Victoria on Friday confirmed that a prisoner "received minor injuries following an incident" and was treated at the scene.

Numerous media outlets report a fork was used to stab Bayley, who is serving at least 40 years in jail for the 2012 killing of Jill Meagher.
