The Saginaw News reports Steven D. Sandison is charged with an open count of murder in the Oct. 29 death of 67-year-old Theodore Dyer at Saginaw Correctional Facility in Saginaw County's Tittabawassee Township, near Saginaw.

Saginaw County District Court said Thursday that Sandison didn't yet have a lawyer on record. He has been transferred to another prison, where he is serving a sentence of life behind bars without parole for an October 1991 killing in Wayne County.

Dyer, who was from Grand Haven, was sentenced in January to 25-50 years in prison for first-degree criminal sexual conduct.
