Blake Fielder-Civil allegedly offered money to attack Pete Doherty

Blake Fielder-Civil allegedly offered a fellow prisoner £20,000 to beat up Pete Doherty, according to The Sun, which says the man refused and reported him.

That Blake Fielder-Civil just can't keep his money in his pocket (or his wife's money, depending on who you speak to), if reports are to be believed. According to The Sun, Mr Amy Winehouse offered a then soon-to-be-released fellow inmate at Pentonville Prison, Richard Lyttle, £20,000 to beat up Pete Doherty, after he became convinced the Babyshambles frontman was having an affair with his wife.

Lyttle says he refused the money and reported Fielder-Civil to the police after he was released. He told The Sun: "We were sitting in my cell and he said, 'If you get Doherty for me I'll give you £20,000. Amy's obviously sleeping with him'. He knew I used to be a doorman and knew some tough people. He said he wanted him smashed to pieces".

As previously reported, Blake Fielder-Civil and four other men are being tried for giving a man who Fielder-Civil and a friend attacked £200,000 to leave the country and not testify in the case.
