Richard William Huckle (14 May 1986[3] – 13 October 2019) was an English serial child sex offender. He was arrested by Britain's National Crime Agency in 2014 after a tip-off from the Australian Federal Police and convicted in 2016 of 71 charges of sexual offences against children, committed while he posed as a Christian teacher and a freelance photographer[4] in Malaysia.[5]
The enormity of the charges against him has resulted in his being described by the press as Britain's most depraved paedophile.[6][7][8] On 6 June 2016, he was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of twenty-five years before he would be eligible for parole.[2]
On 13 October 2019, Huckle was subjected to a prolonged torture murder in which he was tied up, beaten, strangled, sexually assaulted, and repeatedly stabbed; a blade was also lodged in his brain via the nose. On 13 January 2020, a fellow inmate, 29-year-old Paul Fitzgerald, was charged with Huckle's murder.[9] Fitzgerald, who had several previous convictions for violent and sexual offences, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 34 years on 24 November 2020.[10]
