DAYTONA BEACH, FL – An inmate, with a criminal history of rape and kidnapping charges, raped and killed a female corrections officer at the Daytona Beach prison Wednesday, police said.

Detectives are interviewing inmate Enoch Hall, 39, in the murder of Officer Donna Fitzgerald, a 13-year veteran of the Tamoka Correctional Institution. Corrections records show that Enoch had been sentenced to life in prison for charges of sexual battery with a weapon and kidnapping stemming from 1993.

Fitzgerald, 51, of Port Orange, was on duty at the time of the attack, according to jail records.

A statement by Department of Corrections’ Secretary Walter McNeil expressed sorrow for Fitzgerald’s murder.

“The entire department grieves the murder of one of our finest officers and we pray for the victim’s family during this difficult time,” McNeil wrote.

2nd loss in a week. Its killing me. I'm going to be honest the Correctional system is failing its officers. When a detainee, inmater or whatever you want to call these scumbags can do anything they want without fear of what they got coming to them is deplorable. ;) They need to know that we dont come there to get hurt but to do our jobs. We didnt put them there. I dont know if thats the case in FL but its sure looking like that because he had no business even talking to that officer. :mad:

My condolences and prayers go out to this Officers' family.
RIP my sister.
