LONDON — One of Britain’s most prolific child sex offenders, Richard Huckle, has died three years into a life sentence for abusing Malaysian and Cambodian children, Britain’s Ministry of Justice said on Monday, with media saying he had been stabbed to death.
Huckle, 33, who abused children and babies during a nine year period, was sentenced to life in prison in 2016 after pleading guilty to 71 offenses.
Dubbed the country’s worst pedophile by Britain’s media, he was found stabbed to death in prison on Sunday after being attacked with a makeshift knife, the BBC reported.
“HMP Full Sutton prisoner Richard Huckle died on 13 October,” a prison service spokesman said, referring to the high-security jail where Huckle was being held.
“It would be inappropriate to comment further while a police investigation is ongoing.”
Using the pretext of being a photographer, English teacher and western philanthropist, Huckle won the trust of impoverished families before carrying out the abuse. (more...)
