Three inmates accused of murdering Aberystwyth child killer Kyle Bevan have been identified as Mark Fellows, Lee Newell, and David Taylor. Detectives probing the homicide of Kyle Bevan, who viciously killed a youngster in her Pembrokeshire residence in 2020, at HMP Wakefield, have indicted three individuals for his murder.
Kyle Bevan, 33 years old, was two years into a life sentence for the “sustained, deliberate, and extremely violent” assault on two-year-old Lola James when he was discovered deceased in his cell at the category A jail on Wednesday morning.
Mark Fellows, 45, Lee Newell, 56, and David Taylor, 63, have been indicted for his murder, according to West Yorkshire Police.
They were placed in jail and were scheduled to appear at Leeds Magistrates’ Court on Friday morning.
The event occurred less than a month after the paedophile singer Ian Watkins succumbed to a stab wound to the neck at the same prison. Inmates Rashid Gedel, 25, and Samuel Dodsworth, 43, have been arraigned in court on charges of his purported murder.
Kyle Bevan, from Aberystwyth, was sentenced to a minimum of 28 years in prison for the murder of his partner’s two-year-old daughter, Lola James, in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, in 2020.
During a trial in Swansea Crown Court in 2023, it was shown that Lola sustained injuries often associated with automobile accident victims.
After assaulting Lola, Kyle Bevan attempted to claim that the girl’s injuries resulted from an accidental fall down the stairs after being struck by the family dog.
In reality, she had endured approximately 101 injuries inflicted by Kyle Bevan, including a significant brain injury.
Assessment of the child’s eyes revealed severe and widespread damage to both retinas, while imaging indicated catastrophic and lethal brain injuries.
She was expedited to Withybush Hospital but succumbed four days later, on July 21, 2020, having never regained consciousness.
Notwithstanding his plea of not guilty, a jury convicted Kyle Bevan of murder, resulting in a life term in prison.
Even though she invited the murderer into her home, enabled him to physically and sexually abuse her toddler daughter, and actively encouraged his abuse, Lola’s mother, Sinead James, was sentenced to JUST six years in prison for permitting or causing the death of a child.
At the time of Lola’s demise, her mother and Kyle Bevan had been in a relationship for merely a few months after becoming acquainted on Facebook.
Judge Mr Justice Griffiths characterised Bevan’s assault as “sustained, deliberate, and exceedingly violent,” involving the utilisation of weapons.
He described the assault as an “exercise of power” over “the sole individual he could perceive himself as superior to” – a defenceless child.
He added that Kyle Bevan showed no remorse for his crime during the trial process and seemed only concerned with himself.
