'Calculating and manipulative'
Temporary Assistant Chief Constable Julian Moss, from Avon and Somerset Police, said it was "crucial" Tabak was brought to justice for possessing the images.
"Vincent Tabak is a dangerous, calculating and manipulative offender who is already serving a life sentence for the murder of Joanna Yeates," he said.
"During the course of the investigation into Joanna's murder, indecent images of children were found on Tabak's laptop.
"These offences did not form part of the initial murder trial.
"Although he's serving a minimum tariff of 20 years' imprisonment, we felt it was crucial Tabak was brought to justice for possessing indecent images of children, so the full nature of Tabak's offending is on record.
"Tabak is now a convicted sex offender and this means an extensive range of protective measures can now be put in place to manage his criminal behaviour and protect those at risk."
