]Van der Sloot, the main suspect in the 2005 disappearance of U.S. teenager Natalee Holloway, was stabbed three times on Oct. 27 and then again in his kidney on Sunday in the Challapalca prison, his lawyer Maximo Altez told Reuters by telephone, without giving further details.
But the head of Peru’s penitentiary system, INPE, dismissed the charge as false and said the prisoner’s wife, who made the allegations, fabricated the story, according to local media.
“Absolutely nothing has happened to him, that woman is lying,” INPE head Jose Luis Perez was quoted as saying in the local newspaper, La Republica.

The two prison attacks come just days after Van der Sloot penned a rambling letter from his jail cell blasting the country's prison authorities for violating ‘every one’ of his human rights.
In the letter, obtained by MailOnline, Van der Sloot claims he and other inmates at the Challapalca prison are subject to daily beatings, torture and humiliation at the hands of sadistic jail staff.
And he says he fears for his life after claiming wardens told him they have been given the ‘green light’ to ‘break all his bones’.
His four-page handwritten letter was smuggled out of the remote lock-up, which is located at an altitude of 16,000 feet in the Andes mountains, close to the borders with Bolivia and Chile.

‘The prisoners are constantly beaten and tortured by the wardens. The men sleep in cells full of their own excrement. The whole place stinks of sewage.
‘Many of the men are dying of tuberculosis and other diseases. But there's no doctor or medical department in the prison so the men are just left to die.
‘There are men who have broken bones and bruises all over their bodies from the beatings.
‘The prisoners just get a two-liter bottle of water a week. If they want more water they have to pay the wardens for it. So they can't clean themselves properly.’
