A serial attacker who slashed a thug linked to the Daniel crime clan in jail is facing a life sentence. Mark McSorley repeatedly struck Kyle Beard with a makeshift double-bladed weapon.
McSorley, 31, attacked Beard in HMP Barlinnie in Glasgow last October 15 as dinner was being served. After being held, McSorley, of Ayr, said: “It is an outside thing.”
Beard, 27, was awaiting sentence at the time for the attempted murder of Francis McCann in Glasgow’s Merchant City in March 2019. Later locked up for five years, Beard stabbed Francis in the neck hours after a Celtic and Rangers match at Parkhead.
