Execution date set for killer
A Kunkletown man convicted of murdering 2 men in Polk Township in 2001 is
scheduled to be put to death on July 27 after Gov. Ed Rendell signed an
execution warrant Tuesday.
Manuel Sepulveda, 27, is 1 of 2 Pennsylvania death row inmates scheduled
to die by lethal injection in July. Mark Spotz of Schuylkill County,
sentenced for kidnapping, robbing and killing a woman in 1995, is slated
for July 25.
Sepulveda's execution would be Pennsylvania's 4th since 1978, when the
death penalty came back into law in the state, according to the state
Department of Corrections. Sepulveda would be the 1st Monroe County
resident, at least in recent history, to be executed.
