GUILTY UK - Ian Watkins for sex abuse, child 🤬🤬🤬🤬, Pontypridd, Wales, 2012

One of the most difficult tasks our Prison Service faces is trying to keep the paedophiles alive until the end of their sentences. He's not the first paedo to be murdered inside, and he won't be the last.

I agree. It always seemed unlikely that he would survive 29 years in a high security prison as a nonce and walk free at the end of it. Ironically, he would have been segregated from the general prison population on a separate wing with all the other sex offenders from day one so whichever lag did for him would also have been a sex offender. Sooner or later one of them would have got to him.

I hope that the prison officers who were on duty at the time don't have their careers ruined by this.

I have absolutely no sympathy for him. The people who murder other prisoners are usually no better than those they kill, and do it for kudos. I hope they are prosecuted. Jmo

He didn't get a life sentence, so would only have served about 20 years. I expect his co-defendents will be out by now.

I agree. RIH, and that doesn't mean "rest in heaven."
