Texas executes man who killed pregnant wife, daughter, father-in-law

John Hummel
HUNTSVILLE — A Texas inmate was executed Wednesday at the Huntsville “Walls” Unit after killing his pregnant wife, 5-year-old daughter and father-in-law more than a decade ago in what prosecutors called a brutal and senseless attack.
John Hummell, 45, received a lethal dose of pentobarbital for the December 2009 fatal stabbing of his pregnant wife, Joy Hummel, 45, and fatal bludgeoning of his father-in-law, Clyde Bedford, 57, with a baseball bat.
Court records say that Hummel also used the bat to beat to death Jodi Hummel, his 5-year-old daughter, before he torched their home in Kennedale, a suburb of Fort Worth. However, he was only convicted of capital murder in the deaths of his wife and father-in-law.
