The Kentucky Supreme Court has cleared up the way on Thursday for the execution of Marco Allen Chapman on Nov. 21, a man guilty of the murder of two children.

Chapman killed the two Kentucky children Cody and Chelbi Marksberry in 2002 stabbing them to death. He was immediately arrested and pleaded guilty of the murders.

There since, he has said is willing to accept his death sentence claiming that is the "only acceptable sentence for the crimes I have committed," reports WYKT news.

The Kentucky governor has instructed the corrections department to start with the preparations for the execution, according to the source. This is the first execution in Kentucky since Eddie Lee Harper in 1999 died for killing his parents.
