from The KRMG Afternoon News · host KRMG

Just after 10 Thursday morning, death row inmate Raymond Eugene Johnson was executed, using a three-drug injection at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. Johnson was sentenced to death for killing his ex-girlfriend, Brooke Whitaker, with a claw hammer and setting the house on fire, which also killed her 7-month old daughter, Kya. Prosecutors said Johnson fractured Whitaker's skull and caused more than 20 lacerations on her face and head. He also set the house on fire while the mother and daughter were still alive. Johnson was convicted and sentenced to death. Court records say, that in addition to his first-degree murder conviction, Johnson was convicted of manslaughter in 1996, serving nine years of a 20-year sentence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
