A man convicted of killing two Florida women in 2019 was sentenced to death Tuesday, according to reports.
Tattooed Wade Wilson, dubbed “Deadpool killer,” as he shares a name with the Marvel Comics character, showed no emotion as the judge handed down the sentence, the New York Post reported.
The 30-year-old was found guilty of strangling Kristine Melton to death as she slept the morning after he met her at a bar, and then he beat, strangled and ran over Diane Ruiz with his car after seeing her on a street that same day.
“The evidence shows the murders were heinous, atrocious and cruel. and that the second murder was cold, calculated and premeditated,” Circuit Judge Nicholas Thompson said during sentencing, agreeing with the jury’s recommendation of two death sentences, one for each murder.
