Three prisoners have been charged with the murder of a child killer found dead in his cell.
Kyle Bevan, 33, died at HMP Wakefield on Wednesday morning.
He was jailed for murdering his partner’s two-year-old daughter Lola James in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, in 2020.
Swansea Crown Court heard Lola had suffered 101 separate injuries to her body, including a “catastrophic” brain injury.
Her injuries were so severe they were likened by doctors to a high-speed car crash, and there was evidence of weapons being used.
Bevan claimed his stepdaughter Lola had fallen down the stairs after the family dog pushed her.
The girl’s death came months after Bevan, a prolific drug user, moved into the home within days of connecting with Lola’s mother Sinead James on Facebook.
James was sentenced to six years for causing or allowing the death of a child.
During the trial she described Bevan as a “monster” who “needs to rot in hell” for taking her daughter’s life.
Bevan, from Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, had denied murdering Lola but was convicted in 2023 and given a life sentence with a minimum term of 28 years.
Mark Fellows, 45, Lee Newell, 56, and David Taylor, 63, have been charged with Bevan’s murder, West Yorkshire Police said on Friday.
They have been remanded into custody and are due to appear at Leeds Magistrates’ Court this morning.
