SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Department of Corrections has made arrangements to secure a drug combination that would be used to carry out a death sentence for an inmate convicted in 1999 for murder.Ketamine serves as an anesthetic, Fentanyl relieves pain, and Potassium Chloride stops the heart.
At the beginning of May, the warrant was filed after Honie, who was convicted in 1999 of killing Claudia Benn, exhausted all of his appeals. Honie was put on death row for the murder of Benn in 1998, who was his girlfriend's mother. He slit her throat and sexually assaulted her inside her Cedar City home in front of her grandchildren, prosecutors said.
