FOUR days after he was found guilty of brutally murdering his girlfriend, Sayle Kenneth Newson was badly bashed by three other inmates who confronted him in his cell in the maximum security wing of Cessnock Correctional Centre.
Newson, now 46, was on June 24, 2021, convicted of murdering mother-of-two Carly McBride, a jury left with no doubt he was the person who intercepted the 31-year-old after she left a visit with her daughter at Muswellbrook on September 30, 2014, and inflicted a number of blows to her head and back before dumping her body near the side of a lonely stretch of road outside Scone.
