A British woman has shared the harrowing moment she witnessed inside a Texas death chamber viewing room, watching her new husband take his final breath. Tiana Krasniqi, a 31-year-old British human rights law graduate, screamed 'I love you' as her husband, James Broadnax, was executed by lethal injection at the state penitentiary in Huntsville, Texas, despite a desperate, high-profile campaign to spare his life.
In a video circulating online, Krasniqi recalled the traumatic final moments of the execution, sharing that she watched her husband's lips 'going blue' as the lethal drug took effect. The 37-year-old was pronounced dead on Thursday, 30 April 2026, after the US Supreme Court rejected his eleventh-hour appeals. Broadnax maintained his innocence to the end, using his final statement to apologise to the victims' families while asserting that the state of Texas was making a fatal error.
