Child Killer Was Stabbed 25 Times in His Cell and Bled to Death, Jury Told
Prosecutors say the three men followed Kyle Bevan into his cell and left him to die after 25 stab wounds.
- Three inmates, Mark Fellows, 45, Lee Newell, 57, and David Taylor, 64, appeared at Leeds Crown Court this week accused of murdering 33-year-old Kyle Bevan at high-security HMP Wakefield last November.
- Tensions existed at HMP Wakefield between 'main prisoners' and 'vulnerable prisoners' like Bevan, who was serving a life sentence for murdering his two-year-old stepdaughter, Lola James.
- CCTV footage captured the three defendants entering Bevan's cell and staying for four minutes and 39 seconds before leaving him face down with 25 stab wounds to his body.
- All three defendants deny the murder charges, though prosecutor Jason Pitter KC told jurors they displayed "something of a satisfied, job-done mood" after leaving Bevan's cell.
- Evidence suggested the men operated as a "team," with Taylor allegedly calling Fellows the "Wakefield Dexter" and Newell known by the nickname "Iceman" during the alleged conspiracy.
