A jailed anti-immigration rioter who shouted racist abuse and called asylum seekers ‘child killers’ during protests outside a hotel has died in prison.
Peter Lynch, 61, a father of four, died on Saturday night at HMP Moorland near Doncaster, in south Yorkshire, the prison service confirmed.
He was serving a two year and eight months prison term after being jailed in August. The Prisons and Probation Ombudsman (PPO) is now carrying out an independent investigation into his death.
This is the late Peter Lynch who took his own life in prison. Here he is in what looks like the Aldwych pointing out the corruption of Britain.
May he RIP. pic.twitter.com/WplGoLr9JL
