Wade Wilson, often dubbed the “Deadpool Killer” because he shares the same name with the Marvel character, has been given the death penalty for killing two Florida women.

A grand jury indicted the 30-year-old in 2019 on charges of first-degree murder over the deaths of Kristine Melton, 35, and Diane Ruiz, 43. Wilson had confessed to police soon after his arrest that he had killed both women on Oct. 7, 2019. 

In June, after he was found guilty of the murders, a jury concluded by two majority votes this past June that he be given the death sentence. Lee County Circuit Judge Nicholas Thompson agreed at a hearing Aug. 27.

“The evidence showed that both murders were heinous, atrocious and cruel,” he wrote in the sentence order, obtained by E! News, “and that the second murder was cold, calculated and premeditated.”

Wilson’s attorney said he plans to appeal the death penalty sentence, telling Newsweek after the sentencing that his client, “understands the law and he understands what it takes to override a jury recommendation.”
