HOUSTON—Next month’s scheduled execution of a Texas death row inmate, whose attorneys say gouged out both of his eyes—each a separate incident—because of severe mental illness, was delayed by a judge on Tuesday.
Andre Thomas had been set to be executed on April 5, sentenced to death for fatally stabbing in March 2004 his estranged wife Laura Christine Boren, 20, their 4-year-old son Andre Lee, and her 13-month-old daughter Leyha Marie Hughes, cutting out the hearts of the two children.
