A murderer who stabbed his victim 142 times and left a knife lodged in his eye socket has admitted attacking feared gangland killer Paul Lyons in a vicious jail brawl.
Peter Allan, who was caged in 2009 for the slaying of dad-of-five Raymond Black, set upon Lyons at Perth Prison. Crime clan figure Lyons was jailed in 2010 for the road rage killing of van driver Mark Fleeman, 32.
Allan was accused of slashing Lyons on February 21, 2021. He was due to go on trial this week charged with assaulting Lyons.
Prosecutors claimed he struggled with him, kicked him and struck "him on his face with an unknown sharp implement to his severe injury and permanent disfigurement".

Allan was given a 15-year minimum term for the murder of Raymond Black, and is due to be released in May 2024. He was just a teenager when he killed Mr Black at the victim's home in Carluke, Lanarkshire, in January 2008.
Mr Black's two-year-old daughter was asleep in another room at the time of the murder. Lord Brodie said Allan had inflicted an "extraordinary level of violence" in the attack.
Allan had downed a cocktail of drink and drugs before the killing of Mr Black, which was so frenzied detectives described the crime scene as one of the worst they had encountered. Allan, also of Carluke, had denied murder, at first claiming Mr Black had attacked him.
But he later claimed the 48-year-old had made sexual advances towards him. The six day trial heard how Mr Black allowed Allan into his home and the two had been drinking together, while Allan had also taken up to 30
