Newly released surveillance video taken at the Elgin Middlesex Detention Centre in London, Ont., shows Anthony George beating his cellmate Adam Kargus to death and then dragging the body into a common shower area the next morning, without jail guards ever seeming to notice.
George, 32, was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 10 years on Oct. 7 for the 2013 death of Kargus, 29, who was choked, punched, kicked and stomped to death. The presiding judge said that "to suggest the murder was brutal would be an understatement."
George was scheduled to be tried by jury, but the case and much of the evidence collected by homicide investigators never made it to trial because the Kettle Point First Nation man made a surprise guilty plea just as his three-week trial was set to begin.
CBC News can now publish the surveillance video for the first time, after a judge ordered it released to media organizations on Wednesday.
