Police are investigating the suspected murder of child killer Colin Hatch at one of Britain's most secure prisons.
The 38-year-old murderer died following an incident at the maximum-security Full Sutton prison near York on Tuesday.
He was jailed for life in 1994 after being convicted of killing seven-year-old Sean Williams while on parole for a previous child sex attack.
A Prison Service spokesman said: "An incident at HMP Full Sutton on Tuesday February 22 resulted in the death of prisoner Colin Hatch. This is now a matter for the police."
Humberside Police are investigating and have arrested a 35-year-old male prisoner on suspicion of murder.
In 1991, Hatch was jailed for three years for assaulting a boy of eight. His lawyer warned he could kill when he was released.
Within 11 weeks of being paroled in April 1993, he abducted, sexually assaulted and choked Sean to death after luring him to his tower block home in Finchley, north London.
Jailing Hatch, who had a string of convictions for assaulting young boys, Judge Nina Lowry said he was "highly dangerous" and told him it was not possible to envisage a time when he could be released safely.
