Kaiyell Sanders, one of the sheriff's deputies charged in connection with the death of a Henrico man inside a Virginia psychiatric hospital last month, is also one of the defendants named in a federal lawsuit filed two years ago concerning an inmate severely beaten by two cell mates inside the Henrico County Jail.
That lawsuit claims that Isiah Singleton was attacked for more than three hours back in August 2019. The suit alleges Singleton kicked the cell door several times and yelled for help, but no deputies ever came.
As CBS 6 reported at the time, then-Sheriff Mike Wade said it was one of the worst assaults he had ever seen inside the jail.
