Indiana executed Jeffrey Weisheit early Thursday for killing his girlfriend’s two children, aged eight and five, in a 2010 house fire near Evansville.
According to the Associated Press, the 50-year-old died by lethal injection at Indiana State Prison at 12:45 a.m. His final meal was barbecue ribs, and he had no final statement.
Florida and Alabama also scheduled executions for Thursday, marking the second time this year that three people were set to be put to death on the same day.
Alabama’s Michael Taylor was scheduled to be executed for beating an older couple to death during a 1991 robbery. Governor Kay Ivey rejected calls for clemency, despite appeals citing Taylor’s age at the time.
