He was given medical assistance by prison officers before being airlifted to hospital, however, he was pronounced dead during the flight.
It's believed Terkmani was set upon in his cell by two inmates who allegedly stabbed him with a jail-made knife or shiv.
The prison was locked down and a crime scene was established.
Terkmani was sentenced in November 2017 to at least 33 years in jail for violently killing 16-year-old Mahmoud Hrouk.
