Yeah, someone had a go a couple of years ago.

But he's very, very dead.

Woo-hoo! 🥳 🍾

Well done, that prisoner. Give the man an OBE. I hope the police & authorities find a wall of silence & ‘no evidence’ in their investigations.

Huntley next, please! 🤞

I am seeing reports saying he has been stabbed, but not dead...

So, I wonder if he is.

You saying 'how sad' should have had #sarcasm after it @Americano75

Check the date as previous attempts have been reported with that detail.

Prison rarely gets the punishment for pedophiles wrong.

Ah good news - I can now stream lostprophets again without the guilt that he’ll get royalties (I’ve not streamed since he was convicted).

Dead or not, how could you stand hearing his voice?

I really, really didn't think I'd have to.

How could you bear to hear his voice? I can't imagine having the voice of a disgusting paedophile piped into my car.

Yeah it's weird. It's like watching reruns of Jim'll Fix It. Why would you want to watch or listen to anything remotely connected to Ian Watkins? It's not like there's no other music you can listen to.

Simonjt · 11/10/2025 17:44

Oh dear.

But hopefully something will be done to make sure both inmates and staff are safe within the prison.

WeirdyBeardyMarrowBabyLady · 11/10/2025 17:44

The Lost Prophets still have 281k monthly listeners on Spotify. How weird.

DramaLlamacchiato · 11/10/2025 17:44

Sky news just reported it

I’m not sure him getting royalties would be my only reason for not wanting to hear his voice…

This is my whole problem with it. I loved the music before it became apparent what he was. Can’t listen to it now though, couldn’t hear his voice and be ok with it.

dovess · 11/10/2025 17:42

Good. I hope he suffered.

BlindSpotForCats · 11/10/2025 17:42

Have to say- some of the details I read about what he did - I can't weep.

ruethewhirl · 11/10/2025 17:41

GOOD.

Not the first time it's been attempted. Glad they finished the monster off this time.

wtf?

how can you bear to hear his voice knowing what he did?!

Hope the staff took a blind eye and just let them get on with it. Pointless keeping someone like that in prison, costing tax payers millions.

They bloody shouldn't be because if a prisoner can get hold of a weapon to do this then they can just as easily turn it on those same guards.

I won't be shedding a tear, but the fact a prisoner has managed to kill another when they shouldn't be able to access the right tools to do so isn't good news...

You forgot to add the "nevermind" or "anyway" that would have made the sarcasm clear 😉

Hope he took ages to die
