The monster was serving life for murdering his partner’s two-year-old stepdaughter Lola James in a brutal attack that left her with 101 injuries.
Leeds Crown Court heard Bevan was followed into his cell by fellow inmates Lee Newell, 57, Mark Fellows, 45, and David Taylor, 63.
The trio emerged four minutes and 39 seconds later displaying “something of a satisfied, job-done mood”, it was said.
They have now been convicted of murdering Bevan following a trial.

Bevan’s heart and major blood vessels were slashed during the attack, with one wound cutting through bone.
Jurors were told a folded piece of metal was later found with Bevan’s blood on it, which had been made from a piece of a television.
Opening the case previously, Jason Pitter, KC, said: “Four minutes and 39 seconds – that is how long it took.
“That is the length of time between Kyle Bevan entering his cell at Wakefield prison, immediately followed by the defendants, his fellow prisoners, one after the other: Lee Newell, Mark Fellows and David Taylor.
“The prosecution say they followed him in there with real purpose.
“This case is about what that purpose was.”
The court heard Bevan was stabbed “25 times” with a “sharp weapon” in his fourth-floor cell on the prison’s A Wing on November 5 last year.
Mr Pitter said: “Then they left him for dead, one after the other.
“Not before, though, putting him to bed – not our phrase, but a phrase we anticipate you will hear later in the evidence.
“Leaving him as if asleep. And there it was that he, on his bed, bled out. Bled to death, and his body then not discovered until the roll call in the prison the following morning.
“The purpose was clear – to carry out a joint attack on Kyle Bevan to kill him.”
Bevan was locked up for at least 28 years in 2023 for Lola’s sadistic murder in Pembrokeshire, Wales.
The stepdad failed to call an ambulance after attacking the toddler and instead recorded a “disturbing” 22 second film of stricken Lola as he attempted to prop her up.
Doctors later compared her injuries to those suffered in a high-speed car crash.
Tragically, there was not one part of the youngster’s body that wasn’t bruised following a campaign of torture.
Jurors were told of “tensions” at Wakefield prison between vulnerable prisoners – such as sex offenders – and other inmates, who mixed freely on the same wings.
Mr Pitter said: “There was tension in an obvious direction between those groups of prisoners.
“Main prisoners indicated that they did not want to be housed in the same wing as VPs, in particular, those who were sex offenders or those who had committed offences against children.”
He told jurors: “Perhaps that’s understandable on some level, but it’s not a decision they have the luxury of making.”
