Inmate who killed Jeffrey Dahmer reveals why he murdered the serial killer

4-29-2015 Wisconsin:

CANON CITY, Colo. — The inmate who fatally beat serial killer and sex offender Jeffrey Dahmer, 34, in prison in the early-1990s has revealed his reasons for doing so in a new interview.

Christopher Scarver, who was incarcerated at the same Portage, Wis., prison as Dahmer back in 1994, recently divulged the details of his killing to the New York Post.

“Some people who are in prison are repentant — but he was not one of them,” he told the Post, recounting details of Dahmer’s brutal and unapologetic taunts to other inmates.

Scarver said in the interview Dahmer used to fashion limbs out of the prison food, applying ketchup on places to represent blood.
