Two men are scheduled for execution in the United States on Thursday—one in Oklahoma and one in Texas—following separate killings. In Oklahoma, an AP report cited by Stuff says an Oklahoma man is put to death for the fatal shooting of his girlfriend’s estranged husband as the victim arrived to pick up their two young children before Thanksgiving.
In Texas, the other execution involves a man who is set to be executed after the stabbing and beheading of three young children he was raising, described by The Independent and reiterated by the New York Post. The New York Post adds that the 2003 killing rattled a community along the US-Mexico border. The Independent’s framing highlights both cases together, while Stuff focuses on the Oklahoma case and notes it is the first of two executions scheduled for the day.
