The federal correctional service says an inmate has died while in custody at a minimum-security prison on Vancouver Island. A statement from Correctional Service Canada says inmate Richard Paul Preston died on Sept. 2 at William Head Institution, west of Victoria.

The federal correctional service says an inmate has died while in custody at a minimum-security prison on Vancouver Island.

A statement from Correctional Service Canada says inmate Richard Paul Preston died on Sept. 2 at William Head Institution, west of Victoria.

Originally from Stettler, Alta., Preston was 31 when he pleaded guilty in the shotgun death of fellow Stettler man Michael David Arnold, 36, in what the prosecutor called a "jealousy murder," according to the Red Deer Advocate newspaper.

The court heard that Preston went to the home of his former common-law wife, Connie Muise, in December 1992, shot open the door and then shot Arnold in the head before taking Muise and her two children, aged two years and seven months, hostage, the paper reported.

Preston had been serving an indeterminate sentence for second-degree murder since April 28, 1994.

The correctional service says Preston's family have been notified of his death.

In accordance with the agency's policy, police and the coroner have been notified, and correctional officials will review the circumstances of the death, the agency said.
