A vile OAP paedophile is the first prisoner in the UK to die from coronavirus. The 84-year-old inmate was being held at HMP Littlehey, a category C male sex offenders' prison in Cambridgeshire.
He reportedly had underlying health issues and died in hospital on Sunday and has been named by the Sun as Edwin Hillier. The paper reports Hillier, from Hemel Hempstead, Herts was convicted in February 2016 of raping a girl under 14 and attempting to rape another aged under 15 in the 1970s.
A source told the Sun: "The real concern is how he picked it up, who else he's come into contact with and how he died. "Did he pick it up in prison or in hospital?
