LONDON - A British man serving 22 life sentences for abusing scores of Malaysian children has been killed in prison. Richard Huckle was found dead Sunday at Full Sutton prison in the northern county of Yorkshire. Huckle, a freelance photographer, was convicted in 2016 for abusing children aged from 6 months to 12 years. In online posts, Huckle bragged that it was easier to target impoverished children in Malaysia than youngsters from wealthy Western backgrounds. “If you wanted to profile the worst kind of child sex offender, the worst kind of predator, then Richard Huckle was it,” said Jim Gamble, former Chief Executive of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre.
