The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) and the Kansas Department of Corrections are investigating a homicide that occurred Friday night at the Lansing Correctional Facility.
Just before 8:30 p.m., corrections officers were summoned to a two-person cell by a 25-year-old male inmate in the cell. When they arrived, they found the other occupant, Gary Raburn, 62, unresponsive. He appeared to have been attacked and strangled.
Corrections officers and EMS attempted life-saving measures but Raburn was deceased an hour later.
An autopsy will be conducted. A suspect has been identified, but charges are pending.
Raburn was serving time for violations of the Kansas Offender Registration Act while in Sedgwick County. Prior to that, he served nearly 10 years for an aggravated kidnapping conviction from Neosho County.
