One of the five men convicted of the 1986 murder of Sydney nurse Anita Cobby has been bashed in jail.

House fire deaths
Police say three children have died in a house fire in Singleton in the NSW Hunter Valley.
Two girls were taken to Singleton Hospital but could not be saved and the body of a boy was later found inside the house.
A 31-year-old woman and eight-year-old boy escaped from the house and have been treated for smoke inhalation.
Emergency services were called to a home about 3.30am and neighbours said they heard screams as officers tried to enter.
Mascot Towers papers 'in Newcastle'
Documents requested by engineers assessing the cracked Mascot Towers on Thursday have still not arrived because they are stored on the Central Coast.
Bayside Council Mayor Bill Saravinovski said yesterday the council had the documents and were "on to it" but they had to be located from a storage facility on the Central Coast.
"There's no cover-up," he said.
"Even if I need to drive up there myself, we will cooperate".
It comes after a new engineers' report, provided to the building's owners' corporation on Monday afternoon, said it appeared the block was "moving in a downward motion" and urged owners and tenants to remove all their possessions.
