A murder trial is under way over the killing of Kyle Bevan at HMP Wakefield. The case involves Mark Fellows, described in reporting as “The Iceman,” along with David Taylor and Lee Newall. All three defendants deny murdering Bevan and deny involvement in his death.
The proceedings include evidence presented to the court about what Fellows allegedly told police after he was “lagged,” with reporting characterizing him as having acted as a “contract killer.” The sources indicate the prosecution is seeking to connect the defendants to Bevan’s death while in prison, but the defendants maintain their innocence.
Coverage from Manchester Evening News focuses on the ongoing trial and the denial of the charges by each defendant. The reporting also reflects the emphasis on statements made to police and the disputed circumstances around the death at the prison. The case continues as the court hears further evidence and considers the competing accounts from prosecution and defense.
