(CNN) — Joran van der Sloot's wife says her husband was "seriously injured" in a stabbing at the Peruvian prison where he is serving time for murder, but a top prison official is calling her account an outright lie, according to reports.
Leidy Figueroa, the Dutch convict's wife, told RTL, a newsgroup in the Netherlands that is also a CNN affiliate, that van der Sloot was stabbed twice.
She further claimed that after visiting him Sunday at the maximum-security Miguel Castro Castro Prison, where he is serving a 28-year sentence, she smuggled his bloody polo shirt out of the facility, RTL reported.
