BISHOPVILLE, SC Three state inmates are facing murder charges for their alleged involvement in the killing of a fellow prisoner and attempted murder charges for another’s injuries at Lee Correctional Institution in Bishopville. South Carolina Department of Corrections investigators say Terrance Griffin, 29, Quintin Lumpkins, 20, and Michael Wylie Jr., 27, were involved in the June 22 killing of Ae Kingratsaiphon, a 35-year-old inmate who was sentenced in 1999 to life in prison for murder. The announcement by state officials comes just days after three other inmates were stabbed in a separate incident, which took place on Sunday in the same dorm where Kingratsaiphon was killed. All three were taken to area hospitals for treatment. Two remain in the hospital, agency spokeswoman Stephanie Givens told The State newspaper. Both stabbing incidents took place at one of the most problematic dorms of the one of the state’s most notorious and largest prisons. Lee Correctional is a maximum security facility that is currently housing an estimated 1,300 inmates. Read More. |
