Convicted killer Brian Dorsey’s chilling final words have been revealed in a letter he wrote before he was executed on death row.
Brian Dorsey was sentenced to death row in 2006 after murdering his cousin, Sarah Bonnie and her husband Ben.
The 52-year-old killed the couple while their daughter, four years old, was at home. Luckily, she was unharmed.
Dorsey had called his cousin before the incident, asking to borrow cash to pay off drug dealers who were at his flat wanting the money, court documents say.

Advocacy group Death Penalty Action who appealed on his behalf were unsuccessful, after the US Supreme Court rejected their attempts of Brian Dorsey escaping the inevitable on death row.
Governor Mike Parson also rejected a clemency request.
Dorsey died via lethal injection at a Missouri state prison on Tuesday April 9.
He took several deep breaths followed by shallow breaths before he died.
Brian Dorsey had written a letter about his crimes before the death row inmate was executed.
He wrote: “To all of the family and loved ones I share with Sarah and to all of the surviving family and loved ones of Ben, I am truly, deeply and overwhelmingly sorry.
“Words cannot hold the just weight of my guilt and shame. I still love you. I never wanted to hurt anyone. I am sorry I hurt them and you.
“To my family, friends, and all of those that tried to prevent this, I love you; I am grateful for you. I have peace in my heart in large part because of you and I thank you.
“To all those on ALL sides of this sentence, I carry no ill will or anger, only acceptance and understanding.”
Abraham Bonowitz, executive director of Death Penalty Action, told The Mirror Dorsey deserved a second chance.

He said: “Clemency is supposed to be about whether a person is worthy of mercy, not a retrial of the facts of the case.
“Brian Dorsey is so trusted that he is the prison barber, using sharp instruments on corrections workers, but it seems Governor Parson just doesn’t care. Parson would deny clemency even to Jesus.”
His lawyer, Kirk Henderson, also spoke up for the inmate.
He said of the prisoner who has spent 18 years on death row: “Brian Dorsey is kind, gentle, hardworking, and humble.
“He has spent every day of the past 18 years trying to make up for the single act of violence he committed, serving the prison community as the staff barber and never getting in even the slightest trouble.”
