ONE of Britain's worst paedophiles - who awarded himself "PedoPoints" depending on the severity of his crimes - has been stabbed to death in prison.

Ex-English teacher Richard Huckle - serving 22 life terms for abusing up to 200 children abroad - was found slumped in his cell at top security Full Sutton jail, East Yorks, on Sunday.

Richard Huckle was given 22 life sentences for his sick crimes

Another unnamed con was in segregation today with cops set to launch a murder probe.

It has been revealed that the prisoner accused of his murder was a sex pest who once boasted: "I love raping women."

Last night a source told The Sun: "It looks like Huckle was stabbed to death with makeshift blade.

"It's not clear yet if the weapon has been found."

Huckle, 33, admitted 71 counts of sex abuse against up to 200 children across Malaysia over nine years, some as young as six months.

The monster attacked girls, boys, toddlers and even a six-month-old baby in a nappy over nine years in a poor Malaysian community.

He was jailed for 22 life sentences in June 2016 but it meant he could have been freed by his mid-50s as the sentence only carried a minimum of 25 years.



'CAMPAIGN OF RAPE'

As he was caged, a friend of one victim yelled: "A thousand deaths is too good for you."

The Old Bailey heard Huckle, a former member of a baptist church in Ashford, used his religion as a "stepping stone" for grooming kids in a Christian community.

He clasped his hands in a prayer-like gesture as Judge Peter Rook QC told him: "You targeted and groomed children and their families in a poor community, no doubt seeking to impress them with your relative wealth as a Westerner."

The judge said Huckle was consumed by and obsessed with his own sexual gratification and his "campaign of rape" was of "deep concern".

Huckle bragged about his crimes on the dark web and even wrote a paedo guide

Practising Christian Huckle first visited Malaysia on a teaching gap year when he was 18 and went on to groom children while doing voluntary work.

Sick Huckle would brag about his crimes online in a chat room with other paedos.

He wrote commentaries including: "I'd hit the jackpot, a three-year-old girl as loyal to me as my dog and no one seemed to care."

Huckle even awarded himself points for varying grades of assaults on kids and shared pictures and videos of himself raping children.

He then sold his twisted videos for Bitcoins on the dark web and even published a "paedo-guide" on how to groom and abuse tots.

The monster forced his victims to pose with hand-written signs to advertise his business and penned a 60-page perverts' handbook described entitled Pedophiles & Poverty: Child Lover Guide.
