Yay!

Finally there is some good news. I don't like to celebrate someone's murder, but he didn't deserve life after all the damage he did.

Former Lostprophets singer and convicted child sex offender killed in UK prison attack, media reports say

I guess he finally pissed somebody off, link at the bottom of the story.

Ian Watkins, the former frontman of Welsh rock band Lostprophets who was serving a 35-year sentence for child sex offenses, has been killed in prison by another inmate, British media reported on Saturday.

Watkins, 48, was serving his sentence at Wakefield Prison in northern England.

“At 9.39am this morning (Saturday), police were called by staff at HMP Wakefield reporting an assault on a prisoner,” West Yorkshire Police said in a statement.

“Emergency services attended and the man was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.” The statement did not name Watkins.


Police did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Watkins was convicted in 2013 after pleading guilty to 13 charges. He had admitted two attempted rapes, sexually assaulting a child under 13, aiding and abetting the sexual assault of a child under 13, conspiring to rape a child under 13 and conspiring to sexually assault another child under 13.

He had also pleaded guilty to six counts of taking and possessing indecent images of children and one of possessing extreme pornographic images.

As usual Boston babe beat me to it! And agreed it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. And now the crown doesn't have to pay for his room and board :-)

I'm against the death penalty. It always ends up costing the government millions of dollars when it would be cheaper to house them for life. But of course there are exceptions to the rule being a child molester would probably be one of them depending on the circumstances. A friend of mine was dating a 17-year-old and he was 19 and they busted them on a weed count so he was labeled as a child molester. But this dirt bag was one of the worst predators in the entertainment industry that I've ever heard of!

Completely agree with you! And I'm glad that his victims will no longer have to worry about him ever getting out. Unfortunately, they still have to worry about their own mothers

And so many knew what he was doing and either pretended they didn't or deliberately played dumb. If you know and don't say a peep you should be held to account.

Agree here as well. They are accomplices.

Hopefully he suffered!

The jury in the trial of two inmates accused of killing paedophile Ian Watkins in prison has been discharged.

The former Lostprophets frontman was stabbed to death with a makeshift knife in his cell at high-security HMP Wakefield on 11 October last year.

Serving prisoners Rico Gedel, 25, and Samuel Dodsworth, 44, denied murdering Watkins and possessing a knife in prison. Both are due to be re-tried.

The court was told the re-trial had been provisionally set for 8 February next year.

I think they should just drop the charges. Conveniently lose the paperwork. They did the world a favour and I hope people are putting all kinds of money on to their books.

Agree completely.
