Three men have been charged with the murder of a child killer at HMP Wakefield.
Mark Fellows aged 45, Lee Newell aged 56 and David Taylor aged 63, have all been charged with the murder of Kyle Bevan.
Bevan was found dead in his cell by prison guards on Wednesday morning.
The 33-year-old was jailed for life for murdering his partner’s two-year-old daughter Lola James in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, in 2020.
The three men have been remanded into custody and are due to appear at Leeds Magistrates Court this morning.
Lola James’ injuries were so severe they were likened by doctors to a high-speed car crash, with 101 scratches and bruises on her tiny body and evidence of weapons being used.
The girl’s death came months after Bevan, a prolific drug user, moved into the home within days of connecting with Lola’s mother Sinead James on Facebook.
Bevan, from Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, had denied murdering Lola but was convicted in 2023.
