A brutal crime that took place inside a British prison has once again reopened the debate over one of the best-known codes in the prison world.
Kyle Bevan, 33, was serving a life sentence for the murder of his partner’s two-year-old daughter when he was attacked inside his cell by three other inmates: Mark Fellows, David Taylor, and Lee Newell, all of whom had previously been convicted of homicide.
According to the investigation, the three men entered Bevan’s cell and attacked him for several minutes. After finishing their work, they arranged the body on the bed so that it looked like he was asleep, and the crime was not discovered until the following day.
During the trial, the judge noted that Bevan was specifically chosen because he had been convicted over the death of a girl. She also revealed that, after the attack, the news spread quickly through the prison and some inmates even congratulated those responsible.
The three attackers received new life sentences for the incident.
The case has sparked intense debate on social media. While some argue that even the worst criminals have the right to serve their sentences without being attacked, others point out that crimes against minors often make those convicted targets inside prisons around the world.
