"The paedophile rock star was serving a 29-year sentence for child sex offences. He was attacked with a knife on Saturday morning, sources have confirmed. Emergency services were sent to HMP Wakefield in West Yorkshire but Watkins was pronounced dead at the scene. Watkins, 48, was jailed for 29 years in December 2013 with a further six years on licence, after admitting a string of sex offences - including the attempted rape of a fan's baby."
"The disgraced singer was arrested following the execution of a drugs warrant at his Pontypridd home on September 21, 2012 when a large number of computers, mobile phones and storage devices were seized. Analysis of the equipment uncovered Watkins' depraved behaviour. A Prison Service spokesperson said: "We are aware of an incident at HMP Wakefield which took place this morning. "We are unable to comment further while the police investigate.""
