Pedophile who abused up to 200 children stabbed to death in prison

Rough justice
[NY Post] A notorious British pedophile who was serving 22 concurrent life sentences for abusing 22 children in Malaysia - and up to 200 during an eight-year spree ‐ was stabbed to death in a prison in England, according to reports.

Richard Huckle, 33, was found dead Sunday inside his cell at the high-security Full Sutton Prison in North Yorkshire after being attacked with a makeshift knife, according to the BBC.

"Humberside Police are working closely with the Prison Service to investigate the death of an inmate and at this time we are treating the death as suspicious," police said in a statement. "It would be inappropriate to comment further while a police investigation is ongoing."

In June 2016, the prolific predator was sent away to rot in prison after admitting to the horrific crimes against children between the ages of 6 months and 12 years from 2006 to 2014.

Huckle, of Ashford, Kent, pleaded guilty to 71 offenses involving 22 children, but it is believed there were many more victims throughout Southeast Asia, including in Camodia, where he targeted a 2-year-old child in March 2006.

Under the pretext of being a photographer, English teacher and philanthropist in the impoverished areas of the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur, he targeted the kids, including one from the age of 3 to 10, according to the Guardian.

#9  In this humanism oriented pansy world of faggot judges and color coded reformatories, the tears of the little ones became prayers and were answered from above.

I'm content in the knowledge he's being shafted by Belial's finest right now.

#7  Not linked to a formal NGO, according to Wikipedia, just a general do-gooder:

Time in Malaysia
After leaving education, Huckle spent a gap year in Malaysia from 2005 to 2006.[12] He returned regularly, helping out at local churches and among local communities, before moving there permanently in 2010.[citation needed]

Huckle enrolled onto a short CELTA course with the British Council[13] before starting work as a freelance photographer working in local communities around Kuala Lumpur. He also enrolled onto an IT course with a local university, hoping to further his career and status within the community.[14]

In addition to Malaysia, where all of the crimes he was convicted of occurred, and Cambodia, which was also mentioned in the trial, Huckle travelled extensively around south-east Asia to countries including Singapore, Laos and India. It has been revealed that, while in India, he persuaded a pastor to invite him to an orphanage in Bangalore to take photos and make videos with the children, posing as a teacher in order to gain trust.[15]

#3  "It appears he fell down the stairs and landed on a makeshift knife or 'shiv' as they say in GenPop."
"Repeatedly, by the looks of things."
"Yes, that would explain the numerous knife wounds."
"Then our work here is done!"
