A man who was sentenced to a life term for the 1984 murder of a Prince George taxi driver has been sentenced to a further 25 years for the slaying of a former cult leader inside a New Brunswick prison.
RCMP say Matthew Gerard MacDonald was sentenced Monday in Moncton provincial court after pleading guilty to second-degree murder in the death of Roch "Moses" Theriault.
Theriault died on Feb. 26, 2011, after a fight with MacDonald at the Dorchester Institution, a medium-security prison southeast of Moncton.
MacDonald was already in prison for the second-degree murder of Danny Bryce, who was stabbed to death on Oct. 14, 1984 in Prince George, and for the 1994 manslaughter of another inmate at the William Head Institute on Vancouver Island.
