Two inmates reportedly jumped 36-year-old Joran van der Sloot and beat him up.
Natalee Holloway killer Joran van der Sloot was injured in a violent brawl inside a Peruvian prison where he is serving a 28-year sentence for murder. The 36-year-old was attacked by two inmates while in a common area of notorious Challapalca Prison, where the country's most dangerous inmates are held, last week.
A Peruvian Interpol official tells Fox News Digital he believes Joran van der Sloot will still be transferred to the U.S. despite a recent attempt to keep him in Peru.
As the main suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway begins the judicial process of extradition to Alabama from Peru, her family still looks for justice after never finding their daughter's body.
Joran van der Sloot's lawyer says he will file a habeas corpus petition against the Peruvian government in an attempt to stop the transfer of his client to the USA.
