Manitoba RCMP have charged six people with second-degree murder in connection with the death of an inmate last year.
Police say the six men were charged in the ongoing investigation and were remanded into custody.
The charges stem from an incident at Stony Mountain Institution in July 2024. RCMP were called to the facility for a report of a serious assault.
They arrived to find a 37-year-old inmate suffering from serious injuries. He was taken to the hospital, where he died.
A 22-year-old man was charged with second-degree murder days later in connection with the killing.
An investigation is ongoing.
None of the allegations have been tested in court.
