Gosh, how sad. (100% sarcastic)

Hardly ‘unsavoury’ he was evil

My heart bleeds purple pish .......

The fact he didn't have a whole life tariff was too much to contemplate.
His money couldn't save him.
Good riddance.

Lock them all up together and let them kill each other one by one
All as bad as each other and should never be released

I heard he was having money extorted from him as protection money. He must have run out of money. ...Anyway, as Bette Davis said, one should only speak good of the dead. He's dead. Good.

I'd rather he'd been executed at the time of his evil conviction to save us the cost of feeding and keeping him warm for the last 12 years, but this is the next best thing.

I do love karma.

How many staff to keep an eye on 600 /700 men ? You can't have your eyes on every single prisoner 24/7 .

Good. I really truly hope he suffered.

Steps weren't that bad.

I voted YABU because you said ‘how sad’ and clearly it’s not.
sarcasm doesn’t really come across when not spoken.

@Nineandahalf

But some people still enjoy the music regardless of what the artists have done or allegedly done.

Not everyone can be expected to feel the same. It's something that's personal for the individual.

If someone still enjoys the original Lost Prophets music, they are within their rights to listen to it if they want to.

I hope it was absolutely horrifying, painful and dragged out in the most degrading way possible

Is it seriously that much of a stretch in this particular? Can you think of anyone who might feasibly be 'sad' at the news of this vile, evil individual's death? Come on.

Well I can't imagine his parents are exactly celebrating.

Aye but he will have spent many years in prison looking over his shoulder fearing for his life every day. That in itself is so satisfying knowing that he would have been suffering every day of his life. Apparently this wasn’t the first attempt at trying to unalive him.
But you are right, it’s karma and he’s got just that

Yeah I’m a pacifist generally speaking and very much in favour of human rights, but some people really do not deserve them. This man was a horrendous stain on humanity and I think he deserved everything he got.

Well as a taxpayer who had to contribute to keeping this man alive, I thank the person who did this on our behalves.

I'll save my sympathy for the officers who had the horror of dealing with this and for his victims.

Do you think it's likely that I am one of his parents and decided to start a thread on Mumsnet?

Good! This man deliberately hurt and abused the most defenceless and innocent people we have. His death should be celebrated!

No, but that wasn't the question you asked.

Who cares? He’s gone. That’s what matters, for his victims and for wider society.

I don’t condone mob rule but I feel about as sad about this as I did when Richard Huckle got unalived.

No, but it's relevant in the context of the thread isn't it? Or is that a big stretch for you too?

God riddance but I think you could've phrased the opening post/vote so much better. It' has obviously led to some confusion

One less to worry about..
They should at least tattoo these types with a large yellow warning sign on their forehead.
Sympathy is for the poor DC he destroyed.

I very much doubt the man who killed Watkins was a pedo. They tend to stick together and are all on one wing.
