A California inmate caused the deaths of two child molesters after beating their heads with a walking cane last week, authorities said.
Jonathan Watson, 41, allegedly attacked David Bobb, 48, and Graham De Luis-Conti, 62, on Thursday at the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison in Corcoran. They were taken to the hospital with head wounds.
Bobb died en route. Luis-Conti was pronounced dead three days later.
Both men were serving life prison sentences for aggravated sexual assault of a child under 14 years old.
