George Floyd’s killer stabbed in prison – news Norway – Overview of news from different parts of the country

It must have been another inmate who stabbed Chauvin, several media write. The prison service has confirmed that a person was attacked on Friday, but not that it is Chauvin. They also say that no one else was injured. The New York Times writes that Chauvin was not killed. Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 22.5 years in prison in 2021 for the murder of George Floyd. The lawyer for the ex-policeman has long feared that Chauvin would be affected by violence, and he has asked that he be kept away from other inmates. “I can’t breathe” African-American George Floyd died during an arrest in May 2020.
