A New York grand jury charged two prison guards with second-degree murder and eight others with related crimes, in the beating death of an inmate last month at a prison in Central New York, according to court papers unsealed on Wednesday.

Multiple New York prison guards have been indicted in connection with the “disturbing” death of an inmate last month during a wildcat officers’ strike, Gov. Kathy Hochul said Tuesday.

Ten New York prison guards were charged Wednesday in connection with the fatal beating of a 22-year-old inmate last month — including two charged with murder. It's the second time a group of correctional officers in the state was indicted for a death behind bars this year.
