The state of Texas has executed 50-year-old Ivan Cantu, who was convicted of murdering his cousin and his cousin’s fiancée.
His death by lethal injection came just hours after Idaho postponed the execution of serial killer Thomas Eugene Creech because a medical team reportedly failed to find a vein into which to insert the IV containing the lethal dose.
Cantu died more than two decades after his conviction, while Creech, 73, is one of the longest-serving death row inmates in the country.
