Three prisoners have been found guilty of m*rdering a fellow inmate at HMP Wakefield.
Lee Newell, aged 57, Mark Fellows, aged 47, and David Taylor, aged 64, have been convicted of att*cking Kyle Bevan in his cell before positioning his body to make it look like he was asleep.
Child k*ller Bevan, was found d**d in his cell at maximum-security HMP Wakefield, where he was serving a life sentence for m*rdering his step-daughter.
Fellow inmates Newell, Fellows and Taylor followed him into his cell with a clear intent to k*ll.
Jason Pitter KC told jurors: “Four minutes and 39 seconds – that is how long it took. They followed him in there with real purpose.”
The court heard Bevan suffered at least 30 injuries, including wounds to his heart and major blood vessels.
Prosecutors claim the attackers then “put him to bed”, “Leaving him as if asleep”, before he bled to death overnight.
Bevan’s body was not discovered until a roll call the following morning at which point the prison went into ‘lockdown’
