Death Row Inmate Slated to Be First Execution of 2025 Says He Didn't Kill Kandee Martin, Torch Body in Back of Car: 'This is My Truth'

Marion Bowman Jr., 44, is on death row for the February 2001 murder of Kandee Martin in Dorchester County.

A death row inmate, set to be South Carolina's first execution of 2025, maintains he didn't kill a 21 year old girl and burn her body in the trunk of a car, as he continues to fight for a new trial after more than two decades on death row.

The South Carolina Supreme Court recently scheduled the execution of Marion Bowman Jr., who was convicted in 2002 for the 2001 murder of 21-year-old Kandee Martin. Bowman, 44, is slated to be executed on Friday, Jan. 31, at the Broad River Correctional Complex in Columbia, according to Post and Courier.
