A well-known Kenyan murderer, who was in prison for life for killing two old women, was murdered by his fellow prisoner.
Prison guards discovered that a man named Billy Chemirmir, who was 50 years old, had died while he was in his prison cell at the Coffield Unit prison in Texas on Tuesday morning.
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice said that Chemirmir was murdered by his cellmate on Monday night.
In 2022, an American court gave Chemirmir a life sentence for murdering an 81-year-old named Lu Thi Harris and an 87-year-old named Mary Brooks.
He was accused of killing 20 old people in north Texas for two years.
Officials said that Chemirmir pretended to be a caregiver or maintenance worker to enter care homes in north Texas.
He focused on older women at the places they live, and would often steal valuable things like jewelry from them before causing them harm.
Chemirmir got arrested in March 2018 because a 91-year-old lady who lives in her own apartment told the police about him.
