WINNIPEG — RCMP have charged five people, including a Thunder Bay man, in connection with the death of another man from Thunder Bay at Stony Mountain penitentiary.
Thirty-six-year-old Nathan Otke was found unresponsive in his cell on Jan. 1, 2022 after an assault, and subsequently died in hospital.
On Monday, RCMP said two 24-year-old Manitoba men have been charged with second degree murder.
Two other men are charged with being accessories after the fact to aggravated assault.
The fifth accused person is 35-year-old Tyler Boily from Thunder Bay.
He's charged with being a party to the offence of second degree murder.
Boily was sentenced to five years in prison in 2015 for dangerous driving causing death, after a crash on the Thunder Bay Expressway that claimed the lives of Michelle Parker and Daniel Brooks, both 28.
After credit for time served, he was to spend 40 months in prison.
In late 2018, Boily was arrested in Thunder Bay again for dangerous driving, assaulting police, resisting arrest and a weapons charge.
RCMP say all five men accused in the recent homicide have been remanded back into custody.
