Forty-eight-year-old was serving 29-year prison sentence after admitting multiple child sex offences
The convicted child sexual abuser and former Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins has died after being attacked in prison.
The 48-year-old was serving a 29-year prison sentence at HMP Wakefield, with a further six years on licence, after admitting a string of sex offences including the attempted rape of a baby.
He was arrested after the execution of a drugs warrant at his Pontypridd home on 21 September 2012, when a large number of computers, mobile phones and storage devices were seized.
West Yorkshire police said detectives from the homicide and major inquiry team were investigating after prison staff reported an assault on a prisoner, who was pronounced dead at the scene, on Saturday morning.
