Monsters roam this Earth among us.
Ian Watkins, the former British rock singer from the band Lostprophets, has died after an attack by another inmate in HMP Wakefield prison.
He was serving a 29-year sentence for child sex offences – and we are not talking simply having child porn in his devices – which would be bad enough.
Watkins was what many would describe as a monster, once described as ‘one of the worst sex offenders in UK’s history’.
This morning, the former rock star was assaulted and killed at the West Yorkshire jail.
The Telegraph reported:
“He was attacked with a knife by another inmate, sources have confirmed. The prison, known as ‘monster mansion’ because of the dangerous offenders it houses, went into lockdown immediately after the incident.
In a statement, West Yorkshire Police said: ‘At 9.39am this morning [Saturday], police were called by staff at HMP Wakefield reporting an assault on a prisoner. Emergency services attended and the man was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later. Detectives from the homicide and major enquiry team are investigating and inquiries remain ongoing at the scene’.”

He was also accused of encouraging a fan to abuse her child during a webcam chat.”

The Sun reported:
“His attacker, who justice sources said had been identified, is understood to have slashed his jugular, causing Watkins to die from blood loss.
And a source said: “Watkins has been killed in the most brutal way possible – and the attack was shocking, even by prison standards. He was targeted by another inmate who shanked him in the neck’.
‘Guards were nearby and raced to the scene pretty quickly – but there was nothing they could do, and they could not save him’.”
