Convicted murderer charged with attack
Police say he stabbed fellow inmate in neck
By Bill Tomison
CRANSTON, R.I. (WPRI) - A convicted Westerly murderer, serving life plus thirty-six years, is facing new charges of attacking one of his fellow inmates while behind bars.
Victor Semidey was convicted in 2003 of shooting in the head and killing his girlfriend Tammy Chan as her teenage son watched. Now, he's charged with assault with intent to commit murder.
Rhode Island State Police say he got into a dispute with another inmate at the Adult Correctional Institutions high security building. He then plotted to attack the inmate by taking two pens, taping them together and stabbing the other inmate in the neck on Saturday.
The inmate got superficial wounds and was treated at Rhode Island Hospital. Officials aren't naming him.
Judge Pamela Woodcock-Pfeiffer ordered Semidey to have no contact with his victim.
At his murder trial, Semidey was a controversial figure, giving offensive signs to news cameras with both hands: "You got that?" he barked at photographers. He also freely admitted to killing Chan, with no signs of remorse in court.
Before that conviction, he'd had previous domestic violence convictions, as well as a conviction for slamming a man's head on a sidewalk.
