Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond is asking the State Pardon and Parole Board to deny clemency for a convicted child killer.

 

Kevin Ray Underwood was convicted of first-degree murder in the 2006 murder of 10-year-old Jamie Rose Bolin. Underwood lived near Bolin in the same apartment complex in Purcell, OK, and confessed to FBI agents and police detectives that he had murdered the girl and tried to decapitate the body in an attempt to fuel his fantasies of cannibalism. He was sentenced to death in the case in 2008. Underwood is scheduled for execution on December 19.

 

Drummond called Underwood a “deeply evil monster” and called the death penalty “the only appropriate punishment in the case.”

 

The clemency hearing is set for December 4.
