Big news from the courtroom today: One of the men accused of murdering former Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins is expected to plead not guilty. Watkins, who was serving a 29-year sentence for heinous child sex offences, was found dead in his cell at HMP Wakefield in October.
Rashid Gedel, also known as Rico, was expected to make a video appearance from prison but refused to leave his cell. His defence lawyer hinted at an upcoming not guilty plea, explaining that Gedel wishes to be present in the courtroom rather than appearing via video link. He and Samuel Dodsworth face serious charges and are accused of the murder that happened within the confines of the notorious maximum-security prison.
To add to the legal drama, Dodsworth has already entered a not guilty plea, with a trial date set for 2nd May. It seems like this courtroom saga is only just beginning as we await the formal plea from Gedel, scheduled for February 9.
Stay tuned for more updates as this case unfolds and sparks shockwaves with its chilling narratives. Thoughts? 💔🕵️♂️ #IanWatkins #TrueCrime #JusticeSystem #CourtroomDrama
