The court heard Newell was first jailed for murder in 1989 after strangling his female neighbour, who was in her 50s, after she refused to give him money.
He was then given a whole-life order in 2013 after killing a prisoner who had murdered a child.
He left the strangled inmate in his bed with “a chilling similarity” to the circumstances of Bevan’s death, the court heard.
Fellows committed two gangland murders and was given a whole-life term in 2019.
He shot notorious crime figure Paul Massey, 55, with an Uzi sub-machine gun outside his Salford home in 2015 and killed mob “fixer” John Kinsella, 53, from Liverpool, three years later.
Taylor, who had recently been transferred to HMP Wakefield, was also sentenced on Friday for the murder of 24-year-old Alisha Apostoloff-Boyarin, a vulnerable woman he had been in a relationship with.
Apostoloff-Boyarin, from Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, was reported missing by her family in February 2022 and her body has never been found.
Taylor was remanded into custody awaiting trial for her murder when he told police he had fresh information on her whereabouts, with Det Con Darren Bratby visiting him at HMP Frankland in Durham.
Taylor took an improvised weapon and stabbed the officer in the chest during the meeting in a prison interview room, “narrowly missing his heart” and leaving him with serious injuries.
He has since made a full physical recovery.
