Second Man Arrested in Connection with Remand Centre Assault

A suspect wanted in connection with an assault at the Calgary Remand Centre has been arrested by police.

At approximately 2:45 p.m., today, Friday, March 8, 2013, Kei Hu MANG, 21, was arrested by officers in the northwest community of Ranchlands.

MANG had been sought by police since mid-February, when a warrant for aggravated assault was issued for his arrest.

At approximately 6:20 p.m., on Monday, Aug. 20, 2012, emergency crews responded to the Calgary Remand Centre, 12220 85 St. N.W., for reports of an inmate in medical distress.

The victim, a 24-year-old man, sustained life-threatening injuries as the result of an assault and was taken to hospital in critical condition.

Although well enough to leave hospital several months later, the victim suffered permanent injuries as a result of the assault.

On Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2013, investigators arrested a former cellmate of the victim. Justin Brett DECOUX, 21, of Calgary, is charged with aggravated assault.

MANG, who was also a cellmate of the victim, will now be taken to the CPS Court Services Section for processing.
