A backpacker killer and university shooter have won a payout of more than $10,000 each after they were bashed behind bars.
The duo successfully claimed guards used unnecessary force in two separate incidents at jails in Victoria.
Jonathan Horrocks, who shot and killed Leon Capraro at a La Trobe University campus bar in Bundoora, Melbourne, in 1999, won the compensation over an incident in 2010, the Herald Sun reported.
