Despicable sex offender Ian Watkins left a witness sickened when she saw a group of young fans visit him in prison, with one kissing the disgraced Lostprophets frontman
Depraved rocker Ian Watkins was allowed to have three ‘groupies’ visit him in prison on a regular basis before his death, it has been claimed.
The paedophile Lostprophets frontman, 48, was killed at HMP Wakefield, also known as ‘Monster Mansion’ in West Yorkshire, on Saturday morning. He was found severely injured in his cell but staff could do nothing to save him and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Watkins was serving 29 years from a slew of child sex offences, including the attempted rape of a baby and attempted sexual assault of a child under the age of 13.
The vile abuser may have been attacked because he refused to pay protection money, according to a source. They told The Mirror: “There was no prior beef between them there was no prior knowledge between them. It looks like it was because he was who he was or would not pay any cash up.
“It looks like it happened just after unlock, they have walked into his cell and he ends up dead. He got attacked in 2023 and that was because he refused to pay [protection].
“He has always paid for protection but every so often people just reminded him that he needed to pay it so they gave him a good hiding. The guys that have done this are no heroes. It is not like they are some kind of shining Knight.”
Before his violent end, Watkins left an onlooker sickened when he was seen holding hands and giggling with a group of young fangirls during his stint in prison.
In 2017, it was revealed that the sex offender was permitted to have three ‘groupies’ regularly visit him while he languished in jail. He was even seen kissing one of the fans.
And a witness said at the time that she was repulsed by what she saw. The visitors sat in the corridor and held hands with the convicted paedophile, it was claimed.
The source – a school worker who visited the prison three times a month – said Watkins was the most hated inmate in the prison.
She said in 2017: “I have been visiting there for about six months. Over the course of that, he has probably had three different ladies visit him at different times, regularly. They are all quite young. They all have the same look – they all look like goths.”
Paedo Watkins was attacked with a knife by another inmate, sources confirmed. West Yorkshire Police said detectives from the homicide and major inquiry team are investigating after prison staff reported the assault on Watkins, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Two prisoners who were arrested for the alleged murder of Lostprophets paedo Ian Watkins have now been charged. Samuel Dodsworth, 43 and Rashid Gedel, 25, will appear at Leeds Magistrates’ Court today.
The fatal prison attack came just weeks after inspectors warned of growing violence towards paedophiles on the wing where he was locked up. Less than two weeks ago a report into the facility was published that found violence there had “increased markedly”.
The report from the chief inspector of prisons said: “Many prisoners told us they felt unsafe, particularly older men convicted of sexual offences who increasingly shared the prison with a growing cohort of younger prisoners.”
The death of Watkins has not been met with sympathy from the former girlfriend who exposed the sick rock pervert. She said she was shocked it took lags so long to kill him.
Jo Mjadzelics, 48, is the whistleblower that first told cops about the singer’s dark fantasies with children, but was repeatedly ignored. In 2014 we revealed how Miss Mjadzelics gave evidence to police at least five times, but they failed to act until up to four years later.
Jo had an on-off relationship with Watkins from 2006 after the rocker sought her out on MySpace and confessed his dark sexual fantasies. She tried to warn the authorities about his lust for young children for four years but was repeatedly ignored. He was only finally arrested when police raided his Pontypridd home using a drug warrant in September 2012.
Jo told The Mirror: “I was shocked having the news out of the blue as I would with anyone who’s died, there were tears but only because of the shock, not tears for him.
