Therae Racette-Beaulieu has been sentenced to life in prison for attacking a fellow inmate, alongside breaking and entering, theft, and an attempted murder charge.

Beaulieu received this sentence on Monday for attacking a fellow inmate with a homemade shank, stabbing him 20 times on April 28 2019.

The man that was attacked suffered non-life threatening injuries.

Beaulieu had been charged previously for the attempted murder of Cpl. Graeme Kingdon, and his partner in Onanole on August 29, 2018.

Cpl. Graeme Kingdon suffered a fractured skull from the shooting.

Beaulieu was originally sentenced to 18 years in prison for the attempted murder charge, breaking and entering, theft of firearms and a motor vehicle.

Judge Shauna Hewitt-Michta said that Racette-Beaulieu is a "troubled and dangerous individual," and "the sentence imposed here must send a strong message to Racette-Beaulieu and others like him, that harsh consequences for attacks, such as this one, will inevitably follow."
