Therae Racette-Beaulieu charged after death of Christopher Braun following a fight on Dec. 15
An inmate at a British Columbia prison has been charged with second-degree murder over a death in a cafeteria fight.
Therae Racette-Beaulieu has been charged in the death of Christopher Braun, who was fatally injured in the fight on Dec. 15, homicide investigators said.
Several inmates attacked the lone victim, and three have been charged with assault, the police said.
Investigators said RCMP officers were deployed to the Kent Institution in Agassiz, B.C., about 125 kilometres east of Vancouver, after the Correctional Service of Canada reported the incident to police.
Police said that in addition to Braun, one inmate was injured seriously enough to require transport to hospital, while two others sustained minor injuries.
All four inmates charged in the attack remain in custody while awaiting their next court appearances.
