Jeffrey Weisheit was executed by lethal injection today for the murder of his partner's two young children, the Daily Mail reported. The killings took place in Evansville, Indiana, in 2010, when Weisheit set fire to the house of his girlfriend, Lisa Lynch. [1]
The victims were eight-year-old Alyssa Lynch and five-year-old Caleb Lynch, according to the Daily Mail. Investigators said Lisa Lynch was at work at the time of the fire and had left the children in the care of Weisheit, with whom she was in a relationship that was breaking down. [1]
The Daily Mail detailed that emergency services found the body of Alyssa Lynch inside a closet. The body of Caleb Lynch was located on a mattress, bound with duct tape, with a railroad flare in his underwear and another underneath his body. [1]
Execution protocols and lethal injections have drawn scrutiny elsewhere in the United States. As FTMQ News reported earlier, inmate Christa Pike survived a botched lethal injection in Tennessee in September after receiving two doses of pentobarbital. [2][3]
