Investigation underway into Biggs 'assault'

An investigation was continuing today after claims that Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs was assaulted by a member of prison staff in a British prison.

The 73-year-old claimed he was kicked to the floor and punched in the stomach on Sunday night, in an incident witnessed by other inmates at high-security Belmarsh jail in south-east London, his son Michael Biggs said.
