A man from Halifax has been charged with second-degree murder after an inmate was killed at a prison in New Brunswick last fall.
Correctional Service Canada said in October 2022 that Richard King died while in custody at the Atlantic Institution in Renous, N.B., following a “serious assault.”
King, 49, had been serving an indeterminate sentence since June 2007 for second-degree murder.

In a release Thursday, the New Brunswick RCMP said officers responded to the facility on Oct. 6 around 5:20 p.m. There, they found King badly injured in his cell. He was transported to hospital, where he later died.
A 31-year-old was arrested that same day, the RCMP said.
