2 men charged with murder of fellow inmate at Drumheller institution
Jason Claude Tremblay, 42, was stabbed to death
Two men have been charged with first-degree murder in the death of a fellow inmate at Drumheller Institution on Sunday.
RCMP said on Sunday at 7:30 p.m., they responded to a stabbing at the prison.
Jason Claude Tremblay, 42, was taken to hospital, where he died.
Two inmates, 24-year-old Giovanni James Alexis and 23-year-old Richard George Paul, were both charged in relation to his death.
Tremblay was serving a four-year, nine-month sentence for possession and trafficking since March 27, stemming from a 2014 charge in Medicine Hat after police seized more than 800 fentanyl pills.
The institution's medium security unit was locked down to allow staff to conduct a forensic investigation, and an autopsy completed Tuesday confirmed Tremblay's death was caused by stab wounds.
No court date has been set, RCMP said.
