A Pair of Suspects Formally Indicted with Jail Killing of Ex-Lostprophets Vocalist Ian Watkins

A pair of suspects stand accused of murder following the incarceration fatality of one-time Lostprophets vocalist and convicted child sex offender Ian Watkins.

Samuel Dodsworth, 43, and Rashid Gedel, 25 now face murder accusations and are scheduled to appear in Leeds magistrates’ court on Monday morning, per investigating officers.

Watkins, forty-eight, was serving a 29-year sentence at HMP Wakefield, with a further six years to be served on licence, after admitting a string of sex offences including the effort to sexually assault an infant.

Watkins was taken into custody following a substance-related warrant at his Pontypridd home on 21 September 2012, when a substantial collection of electronic devices including computers, phones and drives were confiscated.
