Two men have been arrested on suspicion of murder after the death in prison of the former Lostprophets singer and convicted child sex offender Ian Watkins.
The 48-year-old was serving a 29-year sentence at HMP Wakefield, with a further six years on licence, after admitting a string of sex offences including the attempted rape of a baby.
He was arrested after the execution of a drugs warrant at his Pontypridd home on 21 September 2012, when a large number of computers, mobile phones and storage devices were seized.
A statement from West Yorkshire police said: “Detectives have launched a murder investigation after the death of a man in HMP Wakefield.
“Officers were called by staff at the prison at 9.39am this morning (Saturday 11 October) to reports of a serious assault on a prisoner. A man aged 48 was found with serious injuries. Despite medical attention he was pronounced dead at the scene.
“Two men aged 25 and 43 have been arrested on suspicion of murder and are currently in police custody.”
He was attacked with a knife by another inmate on Saturday morning, sources confirmed to the PA news agency.
Now to start, I recognize that he tried to "rape a baby", (also recognizing that to normies anything sexual with minors is "rape") and that the dude bragged about it.
With that out of the way, I hate seeing people advocate for and celebrate the deaths of imprisoned MAPs in general.
That is all.

One subreddit I am on was saying how it was good riddance to him being killed since he was a predator and that the person or people who did it should be left out of prison.
As usual, no details of the incriminating behavior are given (age of the kids, kind of sexual interaction), only disgusted words. From these words one can assume he was no real pedophile*, but just a criminal of the worst kind, who didn't care at all about the children and just wanted to egoistically profit from them. But to what extent can we trust the information?
*in the sense he didn't really love children. And also, remember that being a pedophile is not a crime.
When society judges without understanding, it silences hearts that yearn for connection.
