Man found guilty in death of New Brunswick inmate
The Atlantic Institution in Renous, N.B., is seen in this file photo. A Halifax man has been found guilty of second-degree murder in connection with a death of an inmate at a New Brunswick correctional facility. Christian Enang Clyke appeared in Miramichi provincial court on Aug. 5 when a judge ruled he was guilty in the death of 49-year old Richard King of Hainesville, N.B. The Blackville RCMP detachment responded to a report of an assault at the Atlantic Institution in Renous, N.B., on Oct. 6, 2022. Police said a 49-year-old inmate was found seriously injured in his cell. He was then taken to hospital where he died. At the time, a representative from the Atlantic Institution said the inmate's name was Richard King. King had been serving an indeterminate sentence for second-degree murder that began in June 2007. In May 2023, police said they determined through their investigation that King's death was the result of a homicide. Clyke, who was also an inmate at the facility, was arrested the day of the assault and charged with second-degree murder in Miramichi provincial court on May 15, 2023. Clyke is scheduled to return to court on Oct. 28 for his sentencing. For more New Brunswick news, visit our dedicated provincial page.
