A Nova Scotia man who ambushed and killed a fellow inmate in a New Brunswick prison three years ago was sentenced in Miramichi court Tuesday.
Christian Enang Clyke, 33, was found guilty in August of second-degree murder in the Oct. 6, 2022, death of Richard King.
Clyke and King were inmates serving life sentences at the Atlantic Institution, a maximum security prison in Renous, southwest of Miramichi.
Dring Tuesday’s sentencing hearing, Crown prosecutor Patrick McGuinty called Clyke’s actions a “vicious ambush.”
“A son, a stepson, a father and a grandfather has lost his life to Mr. Clyke,” Ferguson said of King, who the judge heard was nearing his release date.
Clyke’s 2nd murder conviction
King was serving a life sentence for second-degree murder in the 2006 death of Shawn Tomah in Woodstock, N.B.
Clyke is serving a sentence for second-degree murder in the 2011 death of Angela Hall in Dartmouth.
