RCMP TO REOPEN INVESTIGATION INTO DEATH OF INMATE

The RCMP has reopened the investigation of the death of an inmate who was pepper sprayed repeatedly in the face last year at Dorchester Penitentiary in New Brunswick. Last month, police said their investigation into the death of Matthew Hines was closed, but RCMP spokesman Const. Hans Ouellette said Friday new information has emerged. Matthew Hines, 33, died on March 27, 2015, after he was pepper sprayed for refusing to return to his cell. A three-person panel said the use of force was inappropriate.
