Killer's face TWITCHES while he's put to death by lethal injection... as his final word is revealed
Daily Mail UK ^ | September 21, 2024 | Bethan Sexton

A man who killed two people in cold blood uttered just one word before he was executed in a South Carolina prison on Friday - the state's first in 13 years.

Freddie Owens said 'bye' to his attorney and was then strapped into a gurney where he awaited the lethal injection that led to his ultimate demise.

Owens remained conscious for a minute before his eyes closed, his breaths shortened and his face twitched for five minutes before he died.

The 46-year-old killed convenience store clerk Irene Graves during a botched robbery in Greenville in 1997.

During his trial, he murdered fellow inmate Christopher Lee at a county jail which earned him the death penalty.

Kills Irene the store clerk - didn’t say if he finished that trial and what his sentence would have been. But it is implied that it wouldn’t have been put to death. But for the other inmate he was put to death.

For those that think the death penalty is not a deterrent, Freddie Owens has been officially and permanently deterred from killing anyone else.

Why should the Lord have mercy on his soul? Did Freddy show mercy?

I’ve got a gallon of battery acid I would have been happy to donate to inject him with. He might have twitched some, but he’s going to twitching for eternity soon, why worry?
