A murder trial involving two prisoners accused of killing disgraced Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins has collapsed after the jury is discharged for “legal reasons,” according to multiple reports. The trial concerned Rico Gedel and Samuel Dodsworth, both inmates at HMP Wakefield. They are accused of stabbing Watkins to death in his cell last October. Watkins, who was serving a 29-year sentence for child sexual offences, was killed at the high-security prison. Several outlets report that the judge told the court it was “disappointing” that a retrial would be required, implying that the case will need to be heard again. The jury discharge means the proceedings do not reach a verdict in the current trial. The reports do not detail the specific legal basis for the jury’s discharge, but agree on the outcome: the jury is discharged and the trial cannot continue as scheduled. The case is expected to be re-listed for a new trial following the legal ruling.
