A DOUBLE murderer from the North-East is alleged to have stabbed child killer Roy Whiting in the eye in a violent prison outburst.
Gary Vinter, 41 and from Middlesbrough, is serving a whole life sentence in Wakefield Prison.
Todays Sun newspaper claims Vinter attacked Whiting - convicted of killing eight-year-old schoolgirl Sarah Payne - with a sharpened toilet brush.
Vinter murdered a workmate in 1995 and was given 12 years, but on his release he went on to strangle and stab to death mother-of-four Anne White, whom he wed in 2006, and split from two years later.
