Amy Winehouse's Husband 'Wanted Pete Doherty Assaulted'

Amy Winehouse's husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, offered money to a fellow prisoner to organise an attack on Pete Doherty, a court has been told.

While being held in prison awaiting trial, Fielder-Civil heard rumours that Doherty had begun romancing his wife and offered upwards of £20,000 "to cause damage" to the Babyshambles frontman.

The allegations surfaced during the trial of two men, Douglas Johnson and David Austin, who accused of taking part in a contract killing, reports the Telegraph.

The jury in their trial heard from one witness, Richard Lyttle, who said that while in Pentonville Prison with Fielder-Civil, Winehouse's husband said "he would give £20,000 to anyone who done him [Doherty] – cause him injury.”

Fielder-Civil is currently awaiting sentence after pleading guilty to assaulting a man and then trying to cover the incident up.

He faces a maximum of five years in jail over the assault charge.
