Two men have been charged with murder after the death in prison of the former Lostprophets singer and convicted child sex offender Ian Watkins.
Rashid Gedel, 25, and Samuel Dodsworth, 43, have both been charged with murder and will appear before Leeds magistrates’ court on Monday morning, West Yorkshire police said.
Watkins, 48, 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 attempted rape of a baby.
Watkins 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.
