Three prisoners given whole life orders for murder of child-killer inmate
The court heard the inmates held a hostility toward child killers and left Bevan with 25 stab wounds after a less than five-minute attack.
- On Friday, Mrs Justice McGowan imposed whole-life orders on Mark Fellows, Lee Newell, and David Taylor at Leeds Crown Court for murdering Kyle Bevan, a 33-year-old child killer stabbed 25 times in his HMP Wakefield cell.
- HMP Wakefield's regime forced "main prisoners" to mix with vulnerable offenders, creating a distorted moral hierarchy that fostered intense hostility toward inmates like Bevan.
- CCTV footage showed the trio following Bevan into his cell on November 4, 2020, where he was stabbed 25 times with at least two weapons before they emerged in a "satisfied, job-done mood," prosecutors said.
- Taylor received additional sentences including life with a 20-year minimum for murdering Alisha Apostoloff-Boyarin and 30 years for attempting to murder a police officer, though Mrs Justice McGowan noted "we do not know who did what" in the cell.
- Rejecting vigilante justice, Justice McGowan declared, "Nobody has a right to kill anyone else because they disapprove of what they have done," emphasizing this principle remains fundamental to civilized society.
