SPOKANE (AP) — Authorities in Spokane say an inmate who killed his cellmate was seeking vengeance against the convicted child rapist who preyed on his younger sister.
25-year-old Shane Goldsby faces a first-degree murder charge in connection to the death of his cellmate 70-year-old Robert Munger at Airway Heights Corrections Center.
Surveillance video shows Goldsby punching, kicking and stomping on Munger’s head in a common area of the prison. Munger died three days later.
A State Department of Corrections spokeswoman said a range of information is used to determine housing assignments, but nothing indicated the two knew each other. An investigation is ongoing.
