Can't say I care he's dead, nor care that it might not have been a particularly pleasant way to die, if anyone deserves it, he sure did, but....
It's not good to have excessive violence in prisons. We should be able to stop people being murdered whilst locked up.
Keeping people in violent conditions doesn't really condition them into the sorts of people we want walking the streets when they do get released.

More Justice for the tax payers with 50k+ a year saved. First successful thing that's happened under Labour.
He was clearly a truly loathsome individual who will not be missed. However, whilst locked up he was in the care of the state. And a supposedly secure environment that allows people to be assaulted and murdered isn't exactly great for the rule of law or encouraging rehabilitation.

He'd have been eligible for parole in 8 years. And who said it was a quick death? I imagine lying on the dirty floor of a prison, watching your very own life blood spill and pool around you as you desperately try to hold onto consciousness because you know nobody is coming to help you must be terrifying.
Good riddance.
I sincerely doubt it if these poor prison security events end up causing multiple million pound inquiries that lead to immense budget spends on new prisons.
Scandalous
You can't really apply normal logic to someone who could crimes like that. Liking his music would only be an issue if you got into it after he was convicted and his deeds known. Assuming that his bandmates had no idea of what he was doing, it must have been quite a shock to find out and also see their successful music careers destroyed.
That is often the way it goes. Fame and power, etc. often goes to people's heads, they may even think they are untouchable.
Sometimes you just have to separate the art away from the artist… for me; in this case I don’t know the art nor the artist.
It’s much more difficult to separate when the art is a direct outcome because the artist is the way they are.

Doubt anyone cares he is dead..
Whatever we think of him this is not some win for the system, more like a sign of a broken system.
The enquiries, the murder trials etc will quickly dwarf that cost.
