It was just after 11:30 a.m, right as lunch was about to be served on B Range, when Larmond was talking up a storm with two other inmates. Then, outside of Cell No. 1, witnesses say that the two inmates unleashed a severe beating, hitting Larmond in the head with their fists again and again and backing him into a cell off the hallway, where he fell backwards onto the floor only to be foot-stomped in the head and body.

In all of this, according to witness accounts, the accused terrorist didn’t throw a single punch and tried as he could to keep his arms up in a defensive position.

Witnesses say that Larmond somehow managed to stand up, with his shirt half over his head only to be punched at least another 30 times in the back and the head after being foot-stomped on the concrete floor. The accused terrorist reportedly then tried to make his way to a locked door with a window, behind which a guard was standing, but was again attacked by the same men who landed rapid punches to his head, neck and back before throwing him against a steel cell door, then to the ground where they repeatedly kicked him in the torso and head. Then, as Larmond was on the ground, according to the accounts, one of the inmates grabbed a big bulk tea canister from the lunch cart and with two hands slammed it down twice on him, once on his back, then his head.

Again, Larmond managed to get on his feet and as he made his way to the locked door, he was pummelled by two sets of fists again and again before a guard opened the door and had two fellow guards usher him to safety from the general population range.
