A serial killer accused of murdering close to two dozen women was killed by a prison cellmate, weeks after a District Attorney refused to seek a death penalty for the criminal.
Billy Chemirmir, 50, was sentenced to a life sentence last year for killing two women. He was found dead in his prison cell in rural East Texas on Tuesday, said Hannah Haney, a spokesperson for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), according to AP. Mr. Chemirmir was killed by his cellmate, who is also serving prison for murder.
