Taberon Honie was executed by lethal injection for the 1998 murder of Claudia Benn, marking the first execution in Utah in 14 years. This execution follows a rise in death sentences nationwide.
SALT LAKE CITY — Shortly after midnight on Aug. 8, the Utah Department of Corrections executed Taberon Honie for the brutal murder of Claudia Benn in 1998. Honie, 48, was the first death row inmate executed in Utah in 14 years. His lethal injection made Utah one of three states to resume executions in 2024 after more than a decade, according to the Death Penalty Information Center's newly released annual report.
A couple of months earlier, an Idaho jury sentenced Chad Daybell to death in a triple murder case. The sentence was one of 26 new death sentences this year nationwide, up from 21 in 2023
