At a central California prison one inmate killed a child molester. Here’s what KMOV4 says about what happened.
CORCORAN, Calif. (AP) — One inmate fatally struck a fellow prisoner and critically wounded another at a central California prison, officials said Friday.
They said Jonathan Watson, 41, used a walking cane to cause multiple head wounds to both victims at the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison in Corcoran on Thursday.
KMOV Says: The slain inmate was David Bobb, 48, who was serving a life sentence from San Diego County for aggravated sexual assault of a child under 14 years old.
The Associated Press found in a 2015 analysis that male sex offenders were being killed at a rate double their percentage in California’s prison population, often because they are targeted by other inmates for their crimes against children.
