Texas executed Jamie McCoskey on November 12, 2013, reported Reuters. He was convicted of kidnapping a couple in 1991 in Houston, raping a 19-year-old woman and stabbing her fiancé, Michael Dwyer, 20, to death.
The woman, who authorities did not identify because she was a rape victim, survived the assault and identified McCoskey in a police line-up.
McCoskey was executed by lethal injection at the Texas state prison in Huntsville. McCoskey was pronounced dead at 6:44 p.m. according to a spokesman from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
