Tattooed Deadpool Killer, who brutally murdered two women in 2019 “for the sake of killing”, was sentenced to death on Tuesday.
Wade Wilson, 30, showed no emotions when Florida County Circuit Judge Nicholas R Thompson ruled that he would face death sentence for murdering Kristine Melton, 35, and Diane Ruiz, 43, New York Post reported.
“The evidence shows the murders were heinous, atrocious and cruel.and that the second murder was cold, calculated and premeditated,” Circuit Judge Nicholas Thompson told the courtroom.
Wilson was found guilty in June in 2019. He first strangled Melton in her home after they had a drug-fueled sexual encounter, prosecutors said.
Wilson — who shares a name with the Marvel anti-hero made famous by Ryan Reynolds — then stole his victim’s car and used her phone to call his girlfriend, Melissa Montanez, 41. He assaulted her, but she refused to get in his car.
Wilson encountered second person Ruiz in Cape Coral while she was seeking directions and invited her into his vehicle. He later confessed to strangling her and discarding her body from the car, only to return and repeatedly run over her “until she looked like spaghetti,” according to trial testimony.
Assistant State Attorney Andreas Gardiner previously stated in court, “This case was about killing for the sake of the killing. Strangulation is the epitome of life slipping through someone’s hands.”
Despite the horrific nature of his crime, Wilson received thousands of love letters and explicit photographs from infatuated individuals during his five years of incarceration. Some of these individuals wrote to the judge, urging him to look beyond Wilson’s tattooed face and swastika etchings, claiming that medication had transformed him into a different person, reported New York Post.
Wilson’s attorneys attempted to argue that his brain had been damaged by drug addiction and that he suffered from abandonment issues due to being given up for adoption by his biological parents. His adoptive parents pleaded with the court to spare him from the death penalty, writing in a letter, “the human is still in there.”
