Cole’s cellmate, Justin P. Welsh, has been placed in restricted housing while authorities with the prison and the Amador County district attorney’s office investigate the suspected homicide.

He strangled, beat and slashed his cellmate, later telling a psychologist the killing was a “freebie” because he was already serving life, the Monterey County Weekly reported.

An imprisoned robber was killed by his cellmate.

Brandon Lowrey was six years into a 10-year sentence for robbery and selling drugs when he was killed by his cellmate at Kern Valley State Prison.

Holmeyer became Lowrey’s cellmate on Jan. 10, 2016, according to prison records.
