Paedophile Bridger, 48, has also been told that his request to move to another jail from high security Wakefield prison in Yorkshire has been rejected.

Bridger is serving life for kidnapping and murdering the five-year-old from Machynlleth.

He was slashed across the face with a blade by fellow murderer in July last year and Bridger demanded compensation.

But April's family say they have been told of his demands had been refused by the Ministry of Justice and he would not be receiving any money.
