Bahamian hangings recount of Shobek execution at Fox Head
The 22 year old Milwaukee handyman Michaiah Shobek was hanged in Nassau for the murders of three Americans described as angels of Lucifer. The execution, witnessed by reporters and officials, followed months of legal appeals and occurred at Her Majesty's Prison in Fox Head. His body was moved to Old Trail Cemetery where a rough stone area already hosts two graves. Shobek, who also claimed to be a songwriter, had ties to Milwaukee and vacationed in the Bahamas. The event drew protests from a local anti capital punishment group and involved detailed ritual descriptions provided by officials.
