FLORENCE, AZ (CBS5) -

An Arizona prison inmate said he choked his cellmate to death, stomped his head and then bit him in the groin so he could remain in prison, according to a Pinal County Sheriff's Office spokesman.

Tim Gaffney said the sheriff's office was asking that a first-degree murder charge to be filed against Roberto Venegas Fernandez, 43, who reportedly told homicide detectives the he liked prison and was afraid of being released so he killed Michael Patrick McNaughton, 55, Saturday morning, Gaffney said.

Fernandez said he stomped and bit the victim to ensure he would get first-degree murder, Gaffney said.

I wonder how he'll like old sparky.
