One of the men who killed Stephen Lawrence is attempting to sue the government after he was beaten up in prison, it was reported.
David Norris says he was attacked by inmates at Belmarsh Prison in Woolwich in 2011, suffering a broken nose and ribs.
He is asking for £10,000 in damages from the Ministry of Justice for failing to protect him, according to The Sun on Sunday.
Norris and Gary Dobson were found guilty of murdering the 18-year-old black teenager in a racist attack in Eltham, south-east London, in 1993.
They were convicted under joint enterprise in 2012, sentenced to life in prison and ordered to serve a minimum jail term of 15 years and two months, and 14 years and three months respectively.
Norris was given leave by a judge last week to sue the government.
