Event Summary

Three prisoners, Mark Fellows, Lee Newell, and Chris Taylor, have been found guilty of murdering child killer Kyle Bevan at high-security HM Prison Wakefield. Kyle Bevan, who was serving a life sentence for the murder of Lola (2024 film), was stabbed 25 times in his cell on November 4 and left 'tidily tucked up in bed'. The attack occurred in a prison environment described as having 'a lot of tension', with other serious attacks on inmates like Ian Watkins and David Minto in the preceding weeks. The trial at United Kingdom — Leeds Combined Court Centre revealed that HM Prison Wakefield did not separate vulnerable prisoners from the general population, leading to a 'distorted moral hierarchy' where child killers were targeted. The three convicted murderers, known for their hostility towards those who committed offenses against children, will be sentenced on Friday.
