Prisoners Mark Fellows, 45, Lee Newell, 56, and David Taylor, 63, have been charged with the murder of child killer Kyle Bevan at HMP Wakefield on Wednesday, West Yorkshire Police said.
They’ve been remanded into custody and are due to appear at Leeds Magistrates Court on Friday morning.
Officers were called to category A HMP Wakefield at 8.25am on Wednesday after Bevan was found dead in his cell.
Bevan was jailed for life after murdering his partner’s two-year-old daughter, Lola James, in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, in 2020. He was set to spend at least 28 years in prison after inflicting catastrophic head injuries on the toddler during a six-hour attack.
A Prison Service spokesperson said previously: “HMP Wakefield prisoner Kyle Bevan’s death was confirmed on 5 November.
“We are unable to comment further while the police investigate.”
Lola was found to have sustained more than 100 bruises and scratches to her body, and damage to both her eyes. Bevan denied murdering his stepdaughter, and claimed that she had fallen down the stairs after being jumped on by the pet dog.
Medical experts said the traumas suffered by the two-year-old was similar to that seen in car crash victims.
