Texas executes man who killed his pregnant wife and 5-year-old daughter

Texas has executed a death row inmate who murdered his pregnant wife, five-year-old daughter, and father-in-law more than a decade ago.

John Hummel received a lethal injection on Wednesday evening at a state prison in Huntsville for the killings.

The 45-year-old fatally stabbed his wife Joy more than 30 times at their Fort Worth Home in December 2009, then beat his daughter and wheelchair-bound father-in-law to death with a baseball bat, before setting the house on fire.
