A convicted paedophile in the US state of Florida has been allegedly drowned in a jail toilet by a fellow prisoner, a convicted murderer.
David Oseas Ramirez, 56, who was serving a life sentence for molesting an 11-year-old girl in 2013, was found dead in his cell last week at Duval County Jail in Jacksonville.
A 43-year-old man who is already serving a life sentence for murder has been arrested over the death.
The Florida Times-Union reports Paul Dixon was re-booked on a new murder charge following the fatal beating, which occurred while the pair were sharing a cell.
Authorities say Dixon had been brought to the Duval County Jail from another facility for court proceedings in a new sentencing hearing. He is serving 25 years for a 1993 murder that occurred when he was 17.
