WINNIPEG–Tyler St. Paul pleaded for help before he was found dead from a jail-house beating, according to a source from inside Manitoba’s Milner Ridge Institution.
St. Paul, 21, was found dead Monday inside his cell and the RCMP is investigating his death as a homicide, the first inside a provincial jail in decades.
St. Paul was a member of the Money Over Bitches gang (known also as Most Organized Brothers), which goes by the acronym MOB. The source said MOB gang members beat St.Paul to death but they may not have meant to kill him.
“These eight guys went into his cell for a gang discipline to get him,” said the source.
St. Paul did not die immediately from the beating, but lay in his cell and pleaded for help, according to the source.
“He didn’t die during the night,” said the source. “I guess in the morning he asked for help and … after that he died.”
St. Paul was from Lake Manitoba First Nation and was serving a 15 month sentence for drug trafficking.
He was the father of a six month-old child.
