The police stated in an official statement that the two men were arrested after Watkins was stabbed inside his cell, while investigations are still ongoing to determine the motives of the crime and its full circumstances, including whether it is related to his criminal record or disputes within the prison.

About the Singer

Ian Watkins (48) is known as a former member of the famous band 'Manic Street Preachers' in the late 1990s and early 2000s, but he lost his artistic career after being convicted in 2013 of charges of child sexual abuse, and he was sentenced to 35 years in prison.
Watkins released several solo albums after the band split, leaving a musical legacy that is still circulated among British rock fans, although his criminal record has overshadowed his artistic achievements in recent years.

'Wakefield' Prison

It is noted that Wakefield Prison, known in the media as 'Monster Prison', houses a selection of the most dangerous criminals in the United Kingdom and is under strict surveillance and security measures.
