HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) - A North Carolina parolee on Texas death row for the slaying 10 years ago of a suburban Dallas real estate agent whose body was found in a model home has received an execution date.
Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman Jason Clark says the prison agency has received notice that a judge in Collin County has set 36-year-old Kosoul (koh-SOHL’) Chanthakoummane (chahn-THAH’-koo-mahn) for lethal injection on Jan. 25. The U.S. Supreme Court this week refused an appeal from him.
He’d served time in North Carolina for aggravated kidnapping and robbery and was paroled to Dallas to live with relatives. He was arrested for the death of 40-year-old real estate agent Sarah Walker, who was found stabbed 33 times in a model home in McKinney, about 30 miles north of Dallas.
