I've been expecting this to happen ever since he got jailed. He was an extremely depraved individual who still seemed to show no remorse and even laughed at his crimes. Even some of the worst criminals in prison would be disgusted by what he did, and it doesn't surprise me that one decided to take him out.

How do I feel about it? I wouldn't celebrate it because it's not good that the prison service failed to prevent an inmate murdering another inmate. On the other hand, a violent death seems almost appropriate for how much of a monster Watkins was.

I didn't know who this person was but reading that article it just got worse and worse; yeah this guy was absolutely lousy.
