The man charged of murdering two Israeli nurses in Argentina was attacked in prison by another prisoner on Monday, according to Channel 12.
The accused, Gilad Pereg, was taken for medical treatment after his hand was injured in the attack.
Pereg, the nephew and son of the two nurses, was accused of killing his mother, Farhiya Sarusi, and aunt, Lily Pereg, in early February. The bodies of the two sisters were found in the yard of Gilad's house.
"Gilad is a genius who lost his mind," his brother said of his accused sibling. He "had developed a mental disorder a few years ago." Pereg's uncle said of his nephew that he was “a pathological liar and a psychopath," according to the report.
The police recently determined the cause of death for the two women. The aunt was shot three times and the mother was severely beaten.
"She was a wonderful person and always took time for everyone," John, Lily's husband said of her, the report said.
