Who is Kosoul Chanthakoummane?
Kosoul Chanthakoummane was living with his relatives in McKinney, Texas, in 2006 after being released from a North Carolina prison for aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery.

Texas executes man for slaying of Dallas real estate agent
HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — Texas on Wednesday put to death a man who fatally stabbed a suburban Dallas real estate agent more than 16 years ago, the second execution this year in what has been the nation’s busiest death penalty state.
Kosoul Chanthakoummane, 41, received a lethal injection at the state penitentiary in Huntsville and was pronounced dead at 6:33 p.m. He was condemned for fatally stabbing 40-year-old Sarah Walker in July 2006. She was found stabbed more than 30 times in a model home in McKinney, about 30 miles (48 km) north of Dallas.
In a brief statement after he was strapped to the death chamber gurney, Chanthakoummane thanked Jesus Christ, ministers with the Texas prison system and “all these people in my life that aided me in this journey.”
Although no relatives of Walker attended the execution, he offered a message to them: “I pray my death will bring them peace.”

HUNTSVILLE — He lived to be 41, a year longer than the woman he murdered. But the court appeals that helped Kosoul Chanthakoummane approach middle age couldn’t forestall his fate any longer.
A Collin County jury condemned Chanthakoummane to death for beating and fatally stabbing Sarah Anne Walker, a real estate agent, during a robbery at a model home in McKinney in 2006.
As his mother, Phongsamout Thongpho, and other witnesses watched Wednesday from a viewing booth, a lethal dose of the sedative pentobarbital flowed into his bloodstream shortly after 6 p.m., rendering him unconscious before slowing and ultimately stopping his heart.
Chanthakoummane, clean shaven and wearing glasses, asked for a spiritual adviser, a Buddhist monk, to be with him in the death chamber. The monk placed his hand over the condemned man’s chest — a first in Texas executions — while reciting a prayer.
