- Share via
A man was executed by injection for fatally stabbing two Houston-area girls in 1992 after they refused to turn down some loud music.
Rex Mays, 42, was convicted of killing Kynara Carreiro, 7, and 10-year-old Kristin Wiley at the Wiley home next door to his house.
Mays confessed to the crime, saying he used knife skills he learned as a Marine. Kynara was stabbed and slashed 23 times and Kristin at least 18.
Mays, who occasionally earned money performing as Uh-Oh the Clown and dressed as Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, killed the girls the same day he was fired from a low-level warehouse job.
