British paedophile Richard Huckle who abused 200 children stabbed to death in prison

One of Britain’s most prolific paedophiles has been stabbed to death in prison under “suspicious circumstances”, according to Sky sources.

Richard Huckle, known as the “gap year paedophile”, was found dead from stab wounds in his cell at HMP Full Sutton in Yorkshire yesterday, the source said.

The 33-year-old freelance photographer, from Ashford in Kent, was handed 22 life sentences with a minimum term of 25 years in 2016 for abusing up to 200 children.

He admitted an unprecedented number of offences against children aged between six months and 12 years from 2006 to 2014.

Huckle used religion and an English teaching qualification to gain access to children in an impoverished community in Malaysia where he raped babies, toddlers and children – some over a seven-year period.
