Tennessee death row inmate Edmund Zagorski has been moved to “death watch” as he is set to be executed by electric chair Thursday.

Zagorski was sentenced to death in Tennessee for the 1983 murders of John Dotson and Jimmy Porter in Robertson County. Zagorski, then 28, had lured the two men into a wooded hunting ground under the pretence of selling them 100 pounds of marijuana – before shooting them and slashing their throats.

He will likely be the first inmate legally executed by electrocution in almost six years in the United States.

According to the Tennessee Department of Corrections, Zagorski selected “pickled pig knuckles and pig tails” for his final meal.

As it currently stands, if no other stays are put in place, Zagorski will be executed by electrocution at 7pm CDT on Thursday
