VANCOUVER – A convicted serial killer has been handed another life term for his latest murder – this one committed behind bars in a B.C. prison.
Michael Wayne McGray admitted murdering his 33-year-old cell mate, Jeremy Phillips, a year ago at the Mountain Institution in the Fraser Valley east of Vancouver.
