--James Bigby, 61, was put to death by lethal injection on Tuesday evening
--He murdered three men and a baby in 1987 in a Christmas Eve killing spree
--Bigby believed the men were conspiring against him on behalf of his former boss
--He shot Michael Trekell at his Arlington home and drowned his baby son Jason
--He then shot Calvin Crane and Frank Johnson but was never tried for their deaths
--Bigby had received shock treatment for mental illness 10 days before killings
--He was the fourth death row inmate to be executed in Texas this year
Bigby, a paranoid schizophrenic, sang 'Jesus Loves Me' as he was executed. He was pronounced dead just after 6pm in Huntsville in Texas on Tuesday.
Texas Department of Corrections officials said he struggled to stop sobbing before he was taken into the death chamber, as he expressed sorrow for his crimes. As the lethal injection set in, he prayed, sang 'Jesus Loves Me', and said 'I promise, I'm sorry' several times.
Bigby made sure there were no last-minute appeals delaying his punishment. In his last statement, he offered apologies to the families. 'I´m sorry. I´m sorry. I hope that my death will bring you peace and closure,' he was quoted as saying by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
