he was 'killed in the most brutal way possible

He was reportedly housed on a wing alongside murderers, killers, rapists and paedophiles, whom he (Watkins) branded "the worst of the worst"

It's fucked up how hard the article goes into trying to garner sympathy for this guy. His crimes are horrific, and he was in that wing because he is the worst of the worst

i dont see it as garnering sympathy i see it as justice being done. everybody wanted to see this finally happen. I'm glad he died in the most brutal way possible. he deserved it

I just wish it had happened on his last day in prison instead
