Mitchell was hanged in the Fox Hill Prison in Nassau on the morning of 6 January 2000. His execution was controversial because it was carried out while he had an appeal pending before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. Amnesty International alleged that this amounted to a violation of the Bahamas' treaty obligations as a member of the Organization of American States. The victims' son had also requested that the death sentence be commuted. was scheduled to be executed the same day as Mitchell for an unrelated murder, but he committed suicide the day before. (en)

Mitchell a été reconnu coupable d’avoir poignardé ses victimes à mort et a été condamné à mort par pendaison. Il devait initialement être exécuté le 10 août 1999, mais son exécution a été retardée pour permettre aux cours d’appel des Bahamas d’entendre son appel sur la constitutionnalité de la peine de mort. Son appel a été rejeté par les tribunaux bahamiens et par le Comité judiciaire du Conseil privé à Londres, qui agit en tant que cour d’appel finale pour les Bahamas. Mitchell a été pendu à la prison de Fox Hill à Nassau dans la matinée du 6 janvier 2000. (fr)
