Charges laid in jail assault on man who killed Calgary couple and grandchild
CALGARY — Charges have been laid in a jailhouse attack on a man convicted of killing a Calgary couple and their grandchild.
Police say three inmates at the Calgary Remand Centre have been charged with assault and a fourth man faces a similar charge that is expected to be laid “in the coming weeks.”
Police did not name the victim, but Douglas Garland’s lawyer confirmed that his client was attacked Friday night while waiting to be transferred to a federal prison.
Garland, 57, was found guilty last week of killing Alvin and Kathy Liknes and five-year-old Nathan O’Brien.
