A man convicted in a 1984 murder of a tavern patron during a holdup was executed early February 5 after 11th-hour appeals to federal courts and to Gov. Bob Holden failed. Kenneth Kenley, 42, died at 12:03 a.m., two minutes after the first of three injections were administered at the Potosi Correctional Center, said Department of Corrections spokesman Tim Kniest. He was the first Missouri inmate executed this year and the 60th since the state's 1989 reinstatement of the death penalty. Kenley was convicted and ordered to die in the January 1984 killing of Ronald Felts. Kenley shot Felts in the head during a holdup of a rural Poplar Bluff tavern where Felts, 27, was playing pool with friends. |
