A prisoner was murdered by another prisoner according to investigators. It happened at the Territorial Prison in Canon City.

While the details can't be released since the incident is under investigation, the Colorado Department of Corrections tells 11 News that Kevin Lust killed Ronald Ferguson.

Lust is serving time right now for murder, sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. No word yet on any potential charges he may now face.

Ferguson was convicted of sex assault on a child. He was supposed to get out by November 2012.

Not unusual that the victim is a convicted pedophile. Pedophiles don't usually last long in the prisons...remember Jeffery Dahmer? Good riddance. They should let this happen in the prisons more often, would save the state and taxpayers a lot of money.

And? Sounds like everything went as it should. Give this guy an extra cookie this week. Finally justice is served after all.
