An Oklahoma man, Kevin Ray Underwood, was executed by lethal injection on Thursday for the murder of a 10-year-old girl back in 2006. Underwood, who had a history of mental health issues, was put to death at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester.

Underwood admitted to luring Jamie Rose Bolin into his apartment, where he beat her over the head with a cutting board, suffocated her, and sexually assaulted her. He had initially planned to cannibalize her but abandoned the idea after nearly beheading her in his bathtub.
