CAMERON, Mo. (AP) — Two inmates at a Missouri prison are charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing death of another inmate.

DeKalb County prosecutors on Tuesday charged Robert Goodwin and Jeff Lane in the June 2014 death of Larry Miller at the Crossroads Correctional Center in Cameron.

A probable cause statement alleges Goodwin ambushed Miller in his cell and was later joined by Lane, who stabbed Miller with a knife.

When correctional officers arrived, they reported seeing Goodwin holding the weapon.

Goodwin is serving a life sentence for first-degree assault resulting in severe physical injury and armed criminal action. Lane is serving 55 years for second-degree murder and armed criminal action.

Online court records do not indicate that either man has an attorney.
