Rashid Gedel, 25, and Samuel Dodsworth, 43 stand indicted for homicide and will appear before Leeds magistrates’ court on Monday morning, according to police authorities.
Watkins, 48, was serving a 29-year sentence at HMP Wakefield, plus an additional six years on license, after admitting a string of sex offences including the tried rape of a very young child.
Watkins was taken into custody following a substance-related warrant at his Pontypridd home on 21 September 2012, when a significant quantity of computers, mobile phones and data storage units were taken as evidence.
