Silent Horrors: The Tragic Murder of Adam Kargus and the Oversight at EMDC
In 2017, Anthony George fatally beat Adam Kargus in his cell at an Ontario prison. The following morning, he concealed Kargus's body in the prison's shower stalls.
He managed to carry out these actions without the guards noticing.
During sentencing, George claimed that he was intoxicated when he killed his fellow inmate, stating that he had consumed a "toilet bowl of jailhouse brew."
George was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 10 years
The hour-long fatal beating of inmate Adam Kargus by his cellmate Anthony George was so loud that an inmate claimed he could hear it on a lower floor of the Elgin Middlesex Detention Centre.
It was what Crown lawyer Fraser Kelly told the the seven-man, five woman jury presiding over the case of two former employees of the London jail who allegedly did nothing to respond when Kargus was being murdered on Halloween night 2013.
Former EMDC supervisor Stephen Jurkus and former corrections officer Leslie Lonsbary have pleaded not guilty to failing to provide the necessaries of life in connection with Kargus' death.
