Man Who Killed Robert F Kennedy, Sirhan Sirhan ‘Knifed In Prison’

The man who assassinated Robert F Kennedy has been stabbed in a South Californian prison, according to reports.

Sources from the Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego say Sirhan, 75, was attacked Friday afternoon in a prison yard, report TMZ.

He is said to have been taken to Scripps Mercy Hospital, where he remains in a stable condition – while his attacker has been placed in isolation.

“The suspect in the attack has been identified, and has placed in the prison’s Administrative Segregation Unit, pending an investigation,” a California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation official said in a statement.

John F Kennedy’s younger brother Robert was assassinated in June 1968 after he won the California Democratic primary.

Gunman Sirhan Sirhan was originally given the death penalty but it was changed to life in prison.

After his initial arrest Sirhan was held in a secret jail while he awaited trial with authorities keen to avoid a repeat of the death of Lee Harvey Oswald, who was blamed for JFK’s killing.

In court Sirhan claimed not to recall the shooting and there have long been conspiracy theories about the murder.

Some say Sirhan was acting under the influence of “hypnotic brainwashing” which often gets attributed to the CIA’s MK-Ultra programme.

The conspiracy theory with the most support is that Sirhan arrived at the hotel with a couple – many witnesses recall a blonde wearing a polka dot dress.

The police didn’t follow up these accounts. There have also been reports two CIA officers were at the scene, which have been denied.

It has long been suggested by conspiracy theorists that the CIA, angry over what was seen as a betrayal over the Cuban missile crisis, was involved in both Bobby and JFK’s murders.

Sirhan was found guilty at his trial in 1969 and sentenced to death, commuted into a life sentence when California abandoned the death penalty.

However every appeal for parole since has failed.
