Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins, a convicted paedophile, has died after being attacked in prison, aged 48.
Watkins was jailed for 29 years in December 2013 with a further six years on licence, after admitting a string of sex offences – including the attempted rape of a fan’s baby.
He was previously stabbed in prison in August 2024 after being taken hostage by three other inmates
The disgraced singer was arrested following 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.
Analysis of the equipment uncovered Watkins’ depraved behaviour.
In 2017, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) revealed that he could have been caught and brought to justice nearly four years earlier if police had properly investigated reports from a series of informants.
