Florida man convicted in 1984 murder of babysitter while children slept, rapes, to be executed
He also attacked two other women in Palm Beach County who survived. Slattery was repeatedly stabbed and raped in a home in Delray Beach while two children in her care were sleeping.
Duane Owen. Owen, one of Florida's longest-serving inmates on death row, WAS executed Thursday for the 1984 murder of a 14-year-old babysitter while two children she was watching slept and separately raping and killing a mother of two. Two months later, Worden was sleeping in her Boca Raton home when Owen struck her several times with a hammer and raped her. One of Worden’s children found her body the next morning while getting ready for school, according to court records.
The Florida Supreme Court rejected Owen's most recent appeal last week and the U.S. Supreme Court rejected it Wednesday. A defense psychologist testified earlier this month that Owen believes he absorbed the souls of his victims and that they still exist inside him. Prosecutors argued that while Owen has mental health issues, he is aware that the execution was punishment for his crimes. Louis Casiano is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
