URGENT UPDATE: Three men have been charged with murder following the shocking death of child killer Kyle Bevan in his prison cell at HMP Wakefield. Authorities confirmed that Bevan, aged 33, was found dead at 8:25 AM on November 5, 2023, prompting immediate police action.
West Yorkshire Police (WYP) launched an investigation and identified the suspects as Mark Fellows (45), Lee Newell (56), and David Taylor (63), all of whom were inmates at the facility. They have been remanded into custody and are set to appear at Leeds Magistrates’ Court today.
Bevan was serving a life sentence for the brutal murder of two-year-old Lola James, inflicted during a six-hour attack in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, in 2020. Doctors described Lola’s injuries as comparable to those sustained in a high-speed car crash, with over 101 scratches and bruises on her small body.
The tragic circumstances surrounding Lola’s death unfolded shortly after Bevan had moved into her mother’s home, having connected with her on Facebook just days prior. Convicted in 2023, Bevan had denied his involvement in the murder but received a sentence requiring him to serve at least 28 years behind bars.
A spokesperson for WYP stated,
“Detectives have charged three men with murder after the death of a prisoner at HMP Wakefield on Wednesday, November 5. Kyle Bevan, aged 33, was found dead in his cell on Wednesday morning.”
This alarming incident raises serious questions about prison safety and the conditions surrounding high-profile inmates. The Prison Service has confirmed Bevan’s death, stating they cannot comment further while the investigation is ongoing.
As the situation develops, the community remains on edge, with many seeking justice for Lola and answers regarding Bevan’s untimely death. This case continues to unfold, and updates are expected throughout the day. Stay tuned for the latest developments as they occur.
