Jose Medellin, the Mexican born prisoner who raped and murdered two teenage girls Elizabeth Pena, 16, and Jennifer Ertman, 14, 15 years ago was executed on Tuesday night at 9.57 pm. Before execution he apologized to those who gathered to watch him to die by saying,” I'm sorry my actions caused you pain. I hope this brings you the closure that you seek. Never harbor hate” Nine minutes later he was executed.
Jose Medellin along with his four friends attacked Elizabeth Pena and Jennifer Ertman when they were returning home. Jose and his gang beat and raped them then strangled them using shoelace and belt.
The body of the deceases found four day later.
Medellin execution was fifth capital punishment of the year in Texas. His execution draws international attention as he blames that he was not allowed to consult Mexican consulate for legal help.
Elizabeth Pena’s father Adolf Pena gently tapped the glass that separated him from Medellin as he turned to leave the witness chamber after the execution.
We feel relieved," Adolfo Pena said after leaving the prison. "Fifteen years is a long time coming."
