Main article content
The family of Raymond McEntee have issued a tribute and photograph.
Mr McEntee, 68, was found dead in his cell in the prison at HMP Altcourse in Fazakerley in the early hours of Saturday 18 July.
Martin Wainwright, 54, who was also a prisoner at HMP Altcourse, was charged with Mr McEntee's murder on Thursday 30 July.
The tribute reads: "Raymond McEntee was born and lived in Crossmaglen, Northern Ireland, until his early teen's.
"When he went to England and the Isle of Man he worked as a plasterer. He then married and went on to have two children Sharon and Shaun whom he loved dearly.
"As our brother you represented a connection that did not require constant explanation or frequent reassurance. No matter how much time passed or how far life carried us our bond always remained.
"We shared history, understanding and familiarity that could not be replicated. Although you are no longer here that bond will never disappear from our lives.
"We are grateful for the years we shared and the resilience we built together. This connection we forged through brotherhood and fatherhood will continue to guide us to value family, trust, and lifelong commitments. Until we meet again, your loving family."
