A Texas man, Travis Mullis, was executed by lethal injection for killing his 3-month-old son over 16 years ago. Mullis had previously waived his right to appeal his death sentence.
Authorities reported that, at the time, Mullis sexually assaulted and then strangled his son, prompting prosecutors to label him a “monster.”
“I do regret the decision to take the life of my son,” Mullis said shortly before his execution.
He did not express ill will toward others involved in his punishment.
