A prisoner in prison pleads murder of 1st degree in a machombe correctional establishment daily

The 47-year-old prison made a rare step in court and does not challenge the first degree of murder for the murder of a classmate in Momkom.

Michael Ketchum, who was already serving 44 years for trying to kill another prisoner, made an undoubted request on Monday in the District Court of Makomb District in Mount Clelence for the murder of Ruben Martinez, 28 years, and will be sentenced to life on April 23 without a life-giving.

As part of the Agreement on Failure, the same day of the accusation of trying to kill another prisoner and the possession of weapons in prison will be released, the records are said.

Over the past 20 years, there have only been a few pleading of first degree murder.

The murder was discovered on October 18, 2022 in the Lenox State Prison after Ketchum scored another prisoner in the head and neck, being on his way to his camera after breakfast, Vlad reports. The officers found the Ketchum, Martinez, who was choking, strangled and stabbed to death under his bed in his chamber, officials said.

The sharpened item was used as a weapon in the attack, officials said.

Officials did not give the motive.

It was the third murder and one of the four cases in the 26 miles of roads in 2022, which led to the head of the Ministry of Corrections of Michigan. MDOC officials learned at the end of November 2022 that rap -video was shot in prison and shown on YouTube.com. Cameras and mobile phones are forbidden for prisoners.
