LINCOLN, Neb (AP) – The Nebraska Department of Correctional
Services says a North Platte man serving a life sentence for a
double murder died in a prison stabbing.
Twenty-two-year-old Michael Grandon died Thursday from wounds
suffered at the Nebraska State Penitentiary.
Grandon pleaded guilty in 2007 to first-degree murder and to
aiding and abetting first-degree murder in the slayings of
38-year-old Lori Solie of North Platte and her five-year-old
daughter.
The Lincoln Journal-Star says Grandon was stabbed during an
incident with another inmate and died at a nearby hospital.
The Nebraska State Patrol and the Corrections Department are
investigating Grandon’s stabbing, and a grand jury will be convened
to look into his death while in custody.
