According to Blabbermouth, two more men have been arrested in connection to the recent death of convicted pedophile Ian Watkins (ex-Lostprophets). The 23 and 39-year-old were taken into police custody after being accused of conspiracy to murder. They will be questioned today before being bailed and returned to prison.

This news comes after 25-year-old Rashid Gedel and 43-year-old Samuel Dodsworth were recently charged with the murder. As previously reported, Watkins died after being stabbed in the neck at HMP Wakefield. The West Yorkshire police arrived at the prison following the incident and found the disgraced singer dead at the scene.

The musician was at the aforementioned prison serving a 29-year sentence with an additional six years on licence for 13 counts of child sex offences.

Inspector James Entwistle of the Homicide And Major Enquiry Team commented on the recent arrests:

“Extensive enquiries remain ongoing in relation to the murder of Ian Watkins and these arrests form part of that. Ian Watkins’s family are being updated as the investigation progresses. However, we do not anticipate any immediate developments at this stage.”
