FINAL HOURS: Convicted killer Taberon Honie set to be executed in Utah

Taberon Honie is set to be executed by lethal injection at midnight Thursday. He was found guilty of killing his ex-girlfriend’s mother and his daughter’s grandmother, Claudia Benn, in 1998. He was sentenced to death the following year.

Honie will be the first person to be executed in Utah in 14 years; Ronnie Lee Gardner was executed by firing squad in 2010.

Prior to the execution, there are multiple steps the Utah State Prison staff have to complete on their end and for the prisoner, including his last meal. See KUTV 2 News’ full coverage leading up to Honie’s final moments.
