A convicted killer is back behind bars after a brutal attack left a man needing surgery on his manhood.

Steven Souley (26) stormed a house party on Christmas Day, 2014 before pouncing on Robert Eadie.

The crazed thug and accomplice Zico Malavin (20), both from Drumchapel, repeatedly hit him with an axe and knife leaving their victim scarred for life.

Souley was only back on the streets just over six months when he struck again.

In 2011, he was locked up – along with Zico's brothers Angus and Zak - for his part in the killing of dad Andrew Curran in Glasgow's Maryhill Park.

Souley was sentenced to seven years for culpable homicide – but in May 2014 he was deemed safe enough to be freed early.

However, he now faces another jail-term after he and Zico Malavin admitted assaulting Mr Eadie (25) to his severe injury and permanent disfigurement.

The attack happened at a party where Souley and Malavin suddenly turned up around midnight uninvited.

Souley was armed with an axe with Malavin was clutching a knife, and the pair were told to get out.

Prosecutor Allan Nicol then told the High Court in Glasgow: "Robert Eadie tried to put them out, but, as he did so, both attacked him.

"He was repeatedly struck on the head and body with the axe and knife."

The court heard Mr Eadie needed an operation to repair a "deep wound" to his groin and to his penis.

Both will be sentenced in Edinburgh next month.
