California officials say an inmate accused of attacking Paul Flores this summer, shortly after Flores reported to prison to serve his conviction for murdering college student Kristin Smart, strangled his own serial killer cellmate two years ago.
FILE - Paul Flores listens during his murder trial in Monterey County Superior Court in Salinas, Calif., on July 18, 2022. The California inmate who allegedly attacked Flores, the man convicted of murdering college student Kristen Smart, in August 2023, had previously killed another prisoner in 2021, state officials said. FILE - In photos provided by the California Department of Correction and Rehabilitation are Jason Budrow, left, in 2012, and Roger Reece Kibbe in 2013.
The killing of Kibbe in Mule Creek State Prison in Ione, roughly 30 miles southeast of Sacramento, earned Budrow another consecutive life sentence. An autopsy revealed thatBudrow wrote that he killed Kibbe on the day they became cellmates, though he had planned the murder for months after he saw a TV special about him and had sought to share a cell so he could carry it out. Budrow wrote that although he wanted a single cell, he was on “a mission for avenging” Kibbe’s victims.
Flores was hospitalized in serious condition for two days before he was returned to the prison, state officials said. After the attack, Budrow was found near the scene with some sort of prison-made weapon and surrendered to prison staff, authorities said.
