Execution Slated For Triple Murderer

John Hummel
TDCJ

A Tarrant County triple murderer, whose execution in March was delayed because of the coronavirus, faces his punishment tonight. A court condemned 46-year-old John Hummel for using a baseball bat to kill his pregnant wife, daughter, and father-in-law in their Kennedale home in 2009. It was his second try at murder. One of the prosecutors in the case says Hummel had tried to kill the family with poison the night before.
