Peter Lynch was locked behind bars, serving more than two years after he was caught on camera screaming “scum” and “child killers” at officers alongside a mob that had gathered outside of the Holiday Inn. The Ministry of Justice confirmed that the 61-year-old died at HMP Moorland, near Doncaster, on Saturday.
A prison service spokeswoman said yesterday: “HMP Moorland prisoner Peter Lynch died on October 19, 2023. As with all deaths in custody, the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman will investigate.”
