Biography
Richard William Huckle (14 May 1986 â 13 October 2019) was an English serial child rapist. He was arrested by Britain's National Crime Agency in 2014 after a tip-off from Task Force Argos, a highly specialised branch of Australia's Queensland Police Service responsible for the investigation of online child exploitation and abuse, and convicted in 2016 of 71 charges of sexual offences against children, committed while he served as a Teacher and a freelance photographer in Malaysia. The enormity of the charges against him has resulted in his being described by the press as Britain's most depraved paedophile. On 6 June 2016, he was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 25 years before he would be eligible for parole. 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, including having an improvised knife shoved through his nose into his brain. On 13 January 2020, a fellow inmate, 29-year-old Paul Fitzgerald, was charged with Huckle's murder. 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.
