Ind. Courts - "Matthew Eric Wrinkles, 49, was executed this morning"
Charles Wilson's Associated Press report begins:
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. -- An Indiana death row inmate who refused to request clemency was executed early today for the 1994 shooting deaths of his estranged wife and two of her relatives, saying he was "not proud of the man I was, but I am no longer that man."Matthew Eric Wrinkles died from a lethal injection at 12:39 a.m. at Indiana State Prison in Michigan City, said Department of Correction spokesman Doug Garrison. Authorities said Wrinkles was on methamphetamine when he cut the phone lines, broke into his brother-in-law's Evansville home and killed his wife, her brother and her sister-in-law in July 1994.
