Oklahoma Man Convicted of Killing Two Elderly Women Put to Death by Lethal Injection

An Oklahoma man who was found guilty of killing two women was put to death on Tuesday.

53-year-old Ronald Clinton Lott, who was convicted of murdering an 83-year-old and a 93-year-old died at 6:06 p.m. at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester by lethal injection.

When the curtains of the execution room were lifted, Lott looked at his brother, who raised his fist and nodded back, the Associated Press reported.

Lott gave no final statement. His last meal consisted of fish, French fries and hush puppies with Long John Silver's ketchup and tartar sauce.

The 53-year-old Oklahoma City native was the fifth inmate on death row to receive a lethal injection in 2013.

Lott was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder for killing Anna Laura Fowler in September 1986 and Zelma Cutler in January 1987. He was also found guilty of raping the two women. Lott's appeals were all denied by state and federal judges.

Lott broke into Fowler's home in Oklahoma City where she lived alone on Sept. 2, 1986. Lott reportedly raped Fowler and used a piece of cloth to tie back her hands. She sustained many wounds after the incident, including factures of the ribs, bruises on her wrists, eyes, mouth, cheek and hands. Her grandson discovered her dead, lying on her bed the following day. Asphyxiation was named the official cause of death.

Cutler lived across the street from Fowler. She was found by police, dead and also on her bed, on Jan. 11, 1987. She'd been raped and brutally beaten as well - she had multiple rib fractures and bruises. Investigators found that Cutler's electricity was turned off at the breaker box, and wires for her home phone had been cut in pieces.

The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board denied Lott's appeal to have his death sentence changed to life in prison in November.

"I'm so sorry for what I've done," Lott said during the hearing. "I'd ask them to forgive me. I caused them so much hurt and pain."

Anna Fowler's son Jim reportedly told the board to commute Lott's death sentence to life, "and let him rot in that damn cell."

Another inmate is scheduled to be executed in Oklahoma. 48-year-old Johnny Dale Black will receive a lethal injection on Dec. 17 for killing a Ringling horse trainer 15 years ago.
