In UK, child-rapist and -killer stomped to death in prison

We’ve all heard the stories about prison hierarchies. Rapists and child-killers, they say, are the most loathed. Seems that Oz wasn’t lying to us, at least in one British prison:

Robert Coello, 44, who was serving a sentence for sexually assaulting a minor, was found with head injuries in his cell in G wing of HMP Grendon in Buckinghamshire on Sunday.

He was taken to Stoke Mandeville Hospital but pronounced dead later that day, Thames Valley Police said…

Officers are waiting for results of a post-mortem examination by a Home Office pathologist.

Coello was jailed at Reading Crown Court in August 2006, after admitting four counts of rape and 12 other sexual assaults. He was serving a minimum seven year sentence.

HMP Grendon opened in 1962 as an experimental psychiatric prison, providing treatment for prisoners with antisocial personality disorders, under the direction of a medical superintendent, according the HM Prison Service website. It is now run by a Prison Service governor and continues to operate a regime of therapeutic care for offenders…

It is believed to be the first time an inmate has been killed in a category B prison.

Prison authorities say they’ve arrested a 25-year-old inmate in relation to the attack.

    Montecito- probably not as far from child molestation as you would think, considering it
    cuts across all socio-economic demographics.
    One of my sons did four months for a drug-
    related crime- I hate to call him a criminal,
    but he was pretty stupid. Sex crimes against
    children will get your ass kicked or killed-
    often because the guards will put you in the
    general population. Most of the time they will
    isolate these guy, but not always. Look “Redlands cop child sex.” Yeah, we got a 54 year old police
    man who had sex with a 13 year old. He tried
    to kill himself- unsuccessfully. he’s basically d
    Fucked. Tom Medlicott

    Oh, thanks, Tom. Now I just typed ‘child sex’ into my wife’s work computer. Let’s hope her IT guys don’t catalog her activities when she returns it after this work trip…
