Man executed for killing his FOUR nephews and nieces despite the victims' mothers plea for him to be saved

Mississippi executed a man on Tuesday for the 1990 murders of four of his young nieces and nephews, with the state's governor rejecting heart-wrenching pleas for a reprieve from the mothers of the children he killed.

Henry Curtis Jackson Jr, 47, was pronounced dead by lethal injection at 6:13 p.m. local time at the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman, according to corrections department spokeswoman Jasmine Cole.

He did not request a last meal and ate none of the standard dinner offered to him, corrections officials said.

He also declined a sedative ahead of the execution. Jackson killed the four children, aged between two and five, during a rampage that started when he went to his mother's home in Leflore County to take money from her safe on November 1, 1990.
