A man from Twin Falls serving life in prison for the murder of three of his children is dead from an apparent suicide, the Idaho Department of Correction has announced.

Jim Junior Nice, 46, was pronounced dead at 1:50 p.m. Sunday at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution from what appear to be self-inflicted wounds, IDOC public information officer Jeff Ray said.

Nice was sentenced in November 2006 to three consecutive life terms for the murders of his twin six-year-old boys and his two-year-old daughter. In exchange for prosecutors taking the death penalty off the table, he had pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree murder and agreed to not challenge his conviction or sentence.

He was also under investigation for the death of his cellmate in 2017.

A Twin Falls man accused of using poison to kill his three young children told police he “didn’t want the kids to suffer through the divorce,” according to an affidavit filed Thursday.

Jim Junior Nice was charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of his 6-year-old twin sons, Justin and Spencer, and his 2-year-old daughter, Raquel Anna.

“Nice appeared despondent over his recent divorce and described how he had purchased and used over-the-counter medication and rat poison to kill his children,” Twin Falls police Detective Michael Steen wrote in the affidavit obtained by The Times-News in Twin Falls.

“Nice further described taking prescription medication along with over-the-counter medication in an attempt to kill himself,” Steen wrote.
