One condemned inmate kills another in rare death row slaying at San Quentin prison

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- One condemned inmate killed another Friday, the first slaying of a death row inmate in California in more than 20 years, officials said.

Jonathan Fajardo, 30, was stabbed in the chest and neck with an inmate-made weapon. The stabbing took place in a recreational yard of the cell house that holds the bulk of condemned inmates at San Quentin State Prison, said corrections department spokeswoman Terry Thornton. Luis Rodriguez, 34, is considered the suspect, she said.

Investigators were trying to determine a motive and how the suspect obtained, or was able to make, the weapon, Thornton said.

Couldn't agree more with the above two replies.
Can we -encourage- more of this kind of thing amongst more death row inmates...?
