Winehouse's husband jailed for 27 months

Blake Fielder-Civil has been sentenced to 27 months in jail for attacking a pub landlord and attempting to bribe him not to testify.

The 26-year-old, husband of singer Amy Winehouse, pleaded guilty to charges of GBH and perverting the course of justice. He has already spent nine months in London's Pentonville Prison awaiting trial.

Landlord James King suffered a broken cheekbone after being attacked by Fielder-Civil and friend Michael Brown at the Macbeths pub in Hoxton, East London in June 2006.

Fielder-Civil, of Camden, North London, also admitted trying to persuade King to withdraw his complaint using a £200,000 bribe.

Handing down the sentence at Snaresbrook Crown Court, judge David Radford told him that he had behaved in a "gratuitous, cowardly and disgraceful" way.

Three other men were also jailed for perverting the course of justice, one of whom admitted assault.

Winehouse did not attend the hearing.
