According to state prosecutors, Chanthakoummane bludgeoned Walker with a wooden plant stand and then proceeded to stab the agent more than 30 times before taking her Rolex watch and silver ring, both of which were never recovered. “I am innocent,” Chanthakoummane said in his last appeals letter in March.Ĭhanthakoummane was accused of robbing and killing Walker in a DR Horton model home she’d been showing to prospective homebuyers. The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles declined Chanthakoummane’s latest request for a 120-day reprieve or commutation of his sentence to life without parole on Monday, according to The Associated Press.Ĭhanthakoummane’s legal team has spent the past several years questioning investigators’ tactics, which included allegedly shoddy DNA and bite-mark analyses and hypnotism to garner stronger statements from eye-witnesses.
Sixteen years after allegedly murdering Texas real estate agent Sarah Walker, death row inmate Kosoul Chanthakoummane is less than 24 hours from his execution.
