A man described as a fan of the fictional television serial killer "Dexter" has been accused of killing a fellow inmate while he was being held in custody awaiting trial for two earlier murders. Jurors heard details of the alleged killing as part of proceedings examining the defendant's history of violence, with prosecutors linking his fascination with the Showtime drama to the pattern of killings attributed to him.

The case centres on allegations that the defendant, already facing charges over the deaths of two other victims, went on to kill a cellmate before his original trial could take place. Limited further detail on the identities of those involved, the location of the prison, or the specific circumstances of the killing was provided in the available report, though the account was presented to jurors as part of the ongoing legal case against him.
