A man convicted of murder in Missouri left chilling last words Tuesday before he was put to death via lethal injection.
Raheem Taylor, 58, said he would"look forward" to meeting death before he was executed after the"gruesome" 2004 murder of his partner and her three young children, according to a report."Muslims don't die. We live eternally in the hearts of our family and friends," Taylor said in a final statement."From Allah we come, and to Allah we all shall return."
Taylor was declared dead around 6:16 p.m. at the Eastern Reception, Diagnostic, and Correctional Center in Bonne Terre, Missouri, according to the state Department of Corrections. Taylor was convicted for the first-degree murders of his partner Angela Rowe and her children AcQreya Conley, 6; Alexus Conley, 10; and Tyrese Conley, 5, according to the report.Authorities had been alerted to the residence by family members who had not heard from Rowe or her children in days, and when they arrived at the residence, they discovered that there was a full mailbox, the television was on, and the air conditioning had been set to 50 degrees.
