Kevin Ray Underwood, sentenced to death for the 2006 murder of 10-year-old Jamie Rose Bolin, was executed by lethal injection in Oklahoma on Thursday. Underwood confessed to luring Bolin into his apartment, beating her, and sexually assaulting her before abandoning plans to cannibalize her body.
OKLAHOMA CITY — An Oklahoma man who killed a 10-year-old girl in a cannibalistic fantasy died by lethal injection Thursday in the nation’s 25th and final execution of the year.
Underwood, a former grocery store worker, was sentenced to die for killing Jamie Rose Bolin in 2006. He admitted to luring Jamie into his apartment and beating her over the head with a cutting board before suffocating and sexually assaulting her. He told investigators that he nearly beheaded Jamie in his bathtub before abandoning his plans to eat her.
Underwood looked over to members of his legal team and his family, including his mother, as the execution began at 10:04 a.m.. His breathing hitched slightly and his eyes closed a few minutes later. A doctor entered the execution chamber at 10:09 a.m., shook him a few times and declared him unconscious. He was pronounced dead five minutes later.
During a hearing last week, three members of the state's Pardon and Parole Board unanimously voted against recommending clemency.
