Inquest starts today

A public inquest into the death of an inmate at the federal prison in Agassiz begins Monday.
33-year-old Jeremy Phillips was found dead in his cell at Mountain institution in November, 2010.
Last year, serial killer Michael McGray – who was Phillips’ cellmate – pleaded guilty to killing Phillips.
