Some new information has surfaced regarding the 2023 stabbing of convicted pedophile Ian Watkins (ex-Lostprophets). As it turns out, the disgraced singer, who is serving a 29-year sentence for 13 counts of child sex offences, was attacked due to an alleged drug dispute.
According to report from Mirror, an inmate provided more information to Jonathan Levi and Emma French as part of an interview for their book “Wakefield Prison: Life Behind Bars in the Monster Mansion.” The prisoner in question said the following about Watkins:
“He is hated by many, but as HMP W is mixed, i.e. VPs and high-level gangsters, drug importers and organised crime, they just take money off him [Watkins] for his safety.
He has spent thousands on protection. The recent stabbing was a reminder that he needs to pay. He took an amount of spice off a prisoner with a prison value of £150.
Because it was Watkins, he was told he owed £900. He was high and refused to pay; therefore, he was stabbed in the side using a sharpened toilet brush.”
The inmate also discussed a 2019 incident in which Watkins smuggled a phone in his anus:
“He had paid a Liverpool gang member £1,000 to use the phone, and when he got caught with it, he had to pay £5,000. This is fact; I know the guy who lent him the phone. Watkins is on C wing at HMP W.
His work activity is education. He buys his protection, and his recent stabbing was due to a drugs debt. He is considered vile amongst other offenders (because of his involvement in sexual offences against babies). He pays for protection.”
