A man serving a life sentence for raping, killing and torching a 15-year-old Ontario girl while he was on mandatory supervision for one of Manitoba's most shocking sex crimes has won damages from the Canadian government after a prison official laughed at him for cutting his thumb.*
Muri Peace Chilton, who was described as an incurable killer under his birth name of Murray Allan Gartton, said the injured thumb was "the most painful experience of his life," and called the laughter that followed "beyond callousness" and damaging because he "felt utterly humiliated."
After a six-year journey through the Federal Court of Canada, Chilton was awarded $2,500 in damages this month.
