TWO inmates have appeared in court charged with murdering former Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins at HMP Wakefield.
Rashid Gedel, 25, and Samuel Dodsworth, 43, both of HMP Wakefield, appeared at Leeds Magistrates’ Court yesterday morning after being charged with murder over the alleged attack on Saturday morning.
Emergency services were sent to the prison in West Yorkshire but Watkins, 48, who was serving a 29-year sentence for child sex offences, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Dodsworth and Gedel were produced separately at court, with both only speaking to confirm their names and dates of birth during the brief hearings.
District Judge Anthony Dunne said Dodsworth’s solicitor had filled in a form for the court saying that details set out in his interview summarised his case.
A form for Gedel, who appeared second, said there would be no indication of any admissions or plea at this stage.
District Judge Dunne remanded both men in custody until their next appearance at Leeds Crown Court on Tuesday.
