Mark Fellows, 45, Lee Newell, 57, and David Taylor, 64, stabbed Kyle Bevan to death at high-security HMP Wakefield in West Yorkshire last November before tucking him up in bed and leaving him to bleed out. Bevan, 33, was serving a life sentence with a minimum tariff of 28 years for murdering his partner’s two-year-old daughter, Lola James, in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, in 2020. The trio attacked Bevan with makeshift weapons including a piece of metal taken from the back of a television and fashioned into a blade. Over a four minutes and 39 second period, Bevan was stabbed more than 25 times to the neck and body.

After they killed him the men positioned his body to make it look like he was asleep. In today’s sentencing, all three were given whole life orders, with Taylor’s being his first while Fellows and Newell were given new and separate ones on top of the ones they were already serving. Kyle Bevan was serving a life sentence with a minimum tariff of 28 years for murdering his partner’s two-year-old daughter, Lola James, when he was murdered (Picture: Dyfed-Powys Police/PA Wire) Lee Newell, who along with Mark Fellows and David Taylor, have been found guilty at Leeds Crown Court of murdering child killer Kyle Bevan (Picture: West Yorkshire Police/PA Wire) Jurors heard that unlike other jails, vulnerable prisoners were not separated from other inmates at Wakefield. The regime at the time meant ‘main prisoners’ such as Fellows, Newell and Taylor ‘had to mix with, in a distorted moral hierarchy, other criminals that were beneath them’ such as child killers, prosecutors said. The court heard the three defendants had a hostility to people who had committed offences against children and Fellows and Newell had expressed a desire to be transferred away from Wakefield. Bevan ‘kept himself to himself’ and would mainly stay in his cell, often asking to be locked inside, jurors were told. On the day of his death, he was seen on CCTV walking to his cell, followed by the three defendants, who were just seconds behind. Taylor could be seen taking something from his waistband as he went in. The court heard Taylor boasted about his ability to make makeshift weapons ‘out of all sorts’, and after Bevan’s death some were found in a bottle of chilli sauce in his cell, although they could not be matched to the fatal attack. Mark Fellows was already serving a whole life order when he murdered Bevans (Picture: Greater Manchester Police/PA Wire) David Taylor has been givenawhole life order following the murder (Picture: West Yorkshire Police/PA Wire) Bevan was not discovered until the following morning when prison staff were tipped off by an inmate. Further injuries were caused with another weapon while evidence showed that his heart and blood vessels were damaged and that he died from blood loss. Senior investigating officer, Chief Inspector James Entwistle said: ‘This was a premeditated brutal attack carried out inside a prison by three long-term inmates. ‘Fellows, Taylor and Newell’s actions showed a complete disregard for life and for the rules designed to keep people safe in custody. ‘By their very nature, prisons are designed to deny offenders of their liberty, but they also need to be environments that are kept safe from unlawful violence. ‘Today’s verdicts ensure the continued safety of others by holding these dangerous individuals to account and ensuring they face the full weight of the law. ‘It also underlines that serious offences committed in West Yorkshire’s prisons will be thoroughly investigated and robustly prosecuted.’ Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@metro.co.uk.
