Killer of teenage boy stabbed to death in prison
A convicted murderer serving a 33-year sentence for the brutal killing of a teenage boy in Sydney has been stabbed to death in prison.
Aymen Terkmani, 31, was killed at Lithgow Correctional Centre, about 150km west of Sydney, yesterday afternoon, police said.
He was given medical assistance by prison officers, but paramedics later pronounced him dead.
Terkmani was sentenced in November 2017 to at least 33 years in jail for violently killing 16-year-old Mahmoud Hrouk.
He lured Mahmoud to a vacant house in Fairfield East in Sydney's south-west, before sexually assaulting and bashing him to death on May 16, 2015.
Mahmoud's body was found the next day in an abandoned home nearby.
NSW Corrective Services and NSW Police have launched an investigation into Terkmani's death.
