WISCASSET, Maine (AP) Police in Maine say an inmate assaulted a man accused of beating his stepdaughter to death.

Police say 34-year-old Paul Andrews attacked Julio Carrillo on Saturday at Two Bridges Regional Jail. Investigators tell the Bangor Daily News Andrews yelled, “I’ll kill you, you baby killer, I’ll kill you,” as he punched Carrillo, who was treated for bleeding from his face at a nearby hospital and released.

Carrillo and his wife, Sharon, are charged with murder in the death of 10-year-old Marissa Kennedy. Andrews is currently facing 14 charges of gross sexual assault.

Andrews pleaded not guilty Wednesday to misdemeanor assault and criminal threatening.

Carrillo’s attorney, Steven Peterson, says jail administrators have made arrangements to make sure his client is safe.

Andrews is scheduled to appear in court on April 9.
