Ian Watkins stabbed to death in Wakefield Prison

The disgraced singer was serving a 35-year sentence after being convicted of 13 child sexual offences in 2013, with charges including conspiring to rape an 11-month-old baby and three counts of sexual assault involving children.

Watkins, who previously pleaded guilty, is said to have had his throat slashed after prisoners were unlocked from their cells at Wakefield Prison in West Yorkshire this morning.

Police and medics rushed to the scene and tried to save the 48-year-old but were unable to. He died from blood loss.

Former Lostprophets now the Lost Profits frontman Ian Watkins has died after being stabbed in his prison cell by another inmate.


Experienced officers and a lot of the other prisoners were in absolute shock after what happened and a lot of them saw the awful scene.

"The inmate who attacked him used a 'shank' knife and he was apprehended pretty quickly.

"There was not much doubt about who had done it."

Investigations into Watkins' death are ongoing.

Watkins, who previously pleaded guilty, is said to have had his throat slashed after prisoners were unlocked from their cells at Wakefield Prison in West Yorkshire this morning.

Ahead of the conclusion of his trial, Welsh rock band Lostprophets, which was founded in 1997 by Watkins and guitarist Lee Gaze, cancelled all their shows and disbanded.

Speaking in March this year, co-founder Gaze, 50, addressed the way the band ended for the first time, calling them the ‘most unimaginable circumstances’ that are ‘still painful to think about’.

‘Things could’ve been so different,’ he added online.

‘I don’t talk about it much, but I put everything into that band, and it should’ve lasted a lifetime. I never really wronged anyone my whole life, so it seemed like the ultimate punishment.’

The group had a big cult following, with Watkins using his status in the band to prey on fans, with two offering up their babies to be abused.

In court, the ex-musician was described as ‘a determined and committed paedophile’, and Lord Justice Christopher Pitchford said his acts were ‘shocking’.

Watkins also had two co-defendants, who were fans of his and mothers of his victims. They received sentences of 14 and 17 years.

Sheesh, that's a pretty intense headline...

It sounds like there are some awful mothers involved, but even many more (and all) innocent children who were victimized by this man.

From the sounds of how they worded this article, I feel like the stabbing was gruesome and bloody.

The world would be better with peace, but should not mourn for the loss of this prisoner.

Violence is never great, and I do not condone violence. We can choose to be upset by the news, or continue our days.

While I don't encourage vigilantism. I would say this was good riddance at the end.

Looks like fedsmoker stamped the guy.

Jokes aside, good riddance. Hate to read about a murder but this guy was garbage. Those 'mothers' are something else too.

I've never had that reaction to hearing about someone dying before.

Ian Watkins murderer: One of the accused killers refuses to attend court. When asked to self define his racial identity he said he self-defines as "any other black background".

Yeah.... kind of a hero and a total weirdo.

With cases like this, it is pretty known to happen. As soon as inmates find out they are rapists they get hunted down and someone always goes to kill them, guards tend to protect them the best they can but in the end they find prison hell which I personaly think they should as the crime they have done is very wrong.

And this was babies to age 5 plus some 14 year olds.

Wow... Shocking to hear such discusting actions honestly. IMO they deserve to rot in prison not death. Death is a easy way out.

Yes I agree with that.

Hard to feel bad for a literal baby rapist.
Violence is never the answer, but again, hard to feel bad.

I'm waiting to see how they punish the person. Sometimes this in-prison violence has far lesser consequences than violence on the outside.

[Binance]

what kind of sexual pleasure can even the darkest pedophiles get from babies?

the fuck

[Palestine]

Can't say I'm sad... and you gotta love prison justice. They usually serve justice that the courts sometimes don't

It is murder. They're not giving them a pass. One of them is refusing to turn up to court and self defines his race as "any other black background." He is 25 and refused to attend court as a protest against being asked to attend virtually when he wants to attend in person.

Rico Gedel, 25, who previously appeared in court under the first name Rashid, was due to appear at Leeds Crown Court this morning along with Samuel Dodsworth, 43.

I feel like this. However Ian Watkins thought he was the greatest thing ever because of the success of his band and felt it made him a God who could do anything he wanted because people treated him like that. He attemped to rape the babies of fans who offered them up but he was unable to with the actual babies but there was evidence of him attempting on film and also he raped five year olds and had sex with 14s.

While permanent prison seems possibly worse than death they're allowed devices, and after the prison work day is done they are allowed to watch movies and play games and whatever in the evenings these days because it keeps them from fighting with each other and that outrages a lot of people. And he was giving guitar lessons in prison and stuff.

At least this person Ian Watkins who thought he was so great wouldn't feel good about only living to the age of 48 I guess.
