The State of Missouri has carried out the execution of 52 year old Brian Dorsey for two 2006 murders.

 Dorsey's sentence was implemented yesterday by the Missouri Department of Corrections via lethal injection. Dorsey was pronounced dead at 6:11pm.

Dorsey was convicted of killing his cousin Sarah Bonnie and her husband Ben on December 23, 2006, while they slept and then leaving their 4 year old daughter alone in the house. Dorsey also stole several items from the couple's home in order to pay off a drug debt.

Dorsey was denied clemency on Monday from Missouri Governor Mike Parson. His case was also turned down by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Missouri has scheduled its next execution June 11 for inmate David Hosier for his conviction in the 2009 killing of a Jefferson City woman.
