Prisoners guilty of murder after child killer found 'tucked up in bed' with 25 stab wounds
Prosecutors say CCTV shows the three inmates entered Bevan’s cell for 4 minutes and 39 seconds, and none has explained the killing.
- On Wednesday, prosecutors concluded closing arguments at Leeds Crown Court in the trial of Mark Fellows, 45, Lee Newell, 57, and David Taylor, 64, accused of murdering 33-year-old Kyle Bevan at HMP Wakefield.
- Prosecutor Jason Pitter KC described the killing as a 'carefully coordinated venture' where the defendants stabbed Bevan 25 times in under five minutes, then left him 'tidily tucked up in bed' appearing asleep.
- Defense counsel argued no CCTV footage created an 'evidential black hole,' while none of the three defendants explained what happened in the cell, stating "because they can't," according to prosecutors.
- Following his transfer, Taylor allegedly shouted "Nice working with you and the Iceman"—a nickname for Fellows—to Newell, which prosecutors claim showed pride in their "successful bit of business."
- Defense lawyers appealed to the jury to ensure "everyone deserves a fair consideration of the evidence," warning against convicting defendants solely because they are murderers or because Bevan was a child killer.
