Ohio Supreme Court sets 2 new execution dates

COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court has set execution dates for a Cleveland man who killed his wife and brother-in-law and a northeast Ohio man who repeatedly stabbed a teen who interrupted a burglary.

The dates announced today are some of the farthest in the future set in recent years by the court, which schedules when death row inmates die.

The court set an April 18, 2012, execution date for 48-year-old Mark Wiles, who killed 15-year-old Mark Klima at a farmhouse in Portage County in 1985.

The court also set a June 6, 2012, execution date for 52-year-old Abdul Awkal of Cleveland, who killed estranged wife Latife Awkal and brother-in-law Mahmoud Abdul-Aziz in 1992, in a room in Cuyahoga County Domestic Relations Court.
