Russell Bucklew, 51, is scheduled to be put to death at 6 p.m. CDT (2300 GMT) at the state's death chamber in Bonne Terre for the murder of Michael Sanders in 1996. Missouri Governor Mike Parson denied Bucklew's request for clemency just a few hours before he was scheduled to die, the governor
- A man convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend's lover in 1996 is due to be executed in Missouri on Tuesday, after a court rejected his argument that he faces cruel and unusual punishment because of a rare medical condition that would make lethal injection severely painful.
Missouri Governor Mike Parson denied Bucklew's request for clemency just a few hours before he was scheduled to die, the governor's spokeswoman, Kelli Jones, said by email. Bucklew then handcuffed Ray, dragged her to the stolen vehicle and drove away. He later sexually assaulted her. When authorities found him, he wounded a police officer before they took him into custody, according to court papers.
