Should have been put through the woodchipper upon sentencing.

He spent 12 years in prison and was then executed. So that's slightly worse than just straight execution. People on America's death row often spend longer behind bars before they are executed.

Two men have appeared in court over the murder of former Lostprophets rockstar Ian Watkins.

The lead singer of the Pontypridd nu-metal band Ian Watkins was jailed for 29 years in 2013 for sexually abusing children and even babies.

Rashid Gedel, 25, and Samuel Dodsworth, 43, fellow inmates of Watkins at HMP Wakefield in West Yorkshire, are charged with slashing Watkins' throat.

Formed in 1997, nu-metallers Lostprophets were one of Britain's most successful bands until they split after Watkins was found guilty of paedophilia.

Kunt and the Gang - "The Wrong Ian Watkins" (2015)

What's funny about this is that there are (or were) two British music stars called Ian Watkins: The member of rockers Lostprophets and the member of dance-pop group Steps.

In 2015, the Essex "comedy dark musical" band made this song...
