Murderer David Norris, 46, was reportedly found profusely bleeding from his face after he was shivved by two inmates in HMP Dartmoor, in Exeter, on Sunday. He is said to have been slashed from his 'forehead to his chin' before prison officers intervened, dragging him to a safe area as he 'howled in agony'. Norris was cornered outside his cell by two burglars wielding shivs (or shanks) - self-made knives made in prison made from objects like toothbrushes and razorblades.

He was then shipped to hospital for treatment - and doctors say he may end up permanently disfigured due to his injuries. After receiving stitches to his wounds he was kept in hospital overnight and he will reportedly return to the prison at some time today. The attack is reportedly not linked to Stephen Lawrence's murder in 1993 but instead related to an earlier argument with fellow inmates. Police are now investigating the attack. It was said that Norris 'didn't stand a chance' in the fight where he wa badly cut up leaving 'a lot of blood'. The two attackers were then reportedly placed into segregation within the prison. This comes just weeks after Norris he was caught concealing an illegal contraband smartphone in his rear passage. Justice Secretary Brandon Lewis had said he was 'furious' that the thug who murdered black teenager Stephen Lawrence had managed to break prison rules and obtain a phone. Norris took a sickening selfie from his cell on Dartmoor's E wing, which houses supposedly well-behaved inmates.

In 2012, the Mail published a second front page (pictured) focused on David Norris and Gary Dobson Stephen's father said in late September that was 'disgusted' that one of his son's murderers sent selfies to friends from his cell, adding that jail staff should be sacked over the scandal. Neville Lawrence said his son would be 'turning in his grave' if he knew about the 'luxury life' being enjoyed by Norris behind bars. He told ITV News London: 'He is living a better life than I am and I haven't done anything wrong.' Five men were initially arrested over the racist murder of 18-year-old Stephen, who was stabbed to death in Eltham, south-east London, in April 1993. Two of his killers – Norris and Gary Dobson, now 47 – were brought to justice after a belated forensic breakthrough. Both were given life sentences in 2012 after being found guilty of murder.

His HTC smartphone was being examined by experts to establish who Norris was in contact with from his 'luxury' cell. There have been fears a corrupt member of staff at Dartmoor may have smuggled the phone into the jail, in return for a payment of up to £3,000. Norris was then placed into solitary confinement, pending the police inquiries, and his hopes of winning early parole appear to have ended. A Prison Service spokesman told The Sun: 'A prisoner at HMP Dartmoor is being treated in hospital for non-life threatening injuries following an assault by two prisoners.
