A cannibalistic child sex killer admitted he “deserved to die” as he begged to be spared from his imminent execution.

Kevin Underwood, 44, is set to be sentenced to death for the brutal murder of his neighbor Jamie Rose Bolin.

Bolin was just 10 years old when she was lured to the killer’s home in Purcell, Oklahoma, where she was beaten to death.

Underwood planned to rape and dismember the youth before eating her flesh as part of a “premeditated sexual and cannibalistic fantasy,” according to prosecutors.

He was sentenced to death after his conviction in 2006.

Last week he made a final attempt to be spared, which was ultimately rejected.

“Even though I don’t want to die, I recognize that I deserve it for what I did,” he told the court. “If my death could change what I did, I would die with pleasure.

“I would like to apologize to the victim’s family, to my own family and to everyone in this room who had to hear the horrific details of what I did.”

Cannibalistic child killer Kevin Underwood admitted he “deserved to die” as he begged to be spared from his imminent execution.

Ten-year-old Jamie Rose Bolin was brutally murdered in 2006 by her neighbor, Kevin Underwood, who faces the death penalty for his heinous act.

Underwood, who was 26 at the time of the crime, framed Bolin after inviting her to his apartment to play with his pet rat.

He described in an interview “how he had recently developed a desire to kidnap a person, sexually assault them, eat their flesh and dispose of their remains,” the Court of Criminal Appeals wrote in 2011.

Underwood hit Bolin in the head multiple times with a wooden board, then choked her while she was watching SpongeBob on her television.

He said he tried to have sex with her body and remove her head with a dagger, before becoming disgusted with himself and deciding not to eat her, the Oklahoman reported.

Bolin was discovered two days later in Underwood’s apartment, hiding in his closet in the plastic tub.

The youth’s grieving family also spoke at the clemency hearing, arguing against clemency for Underwood.

“How dare you, Kevin Underwood, ask for leniency. How dare you look at the courts, look at Jamie’s family, and then ask us this,” said Lori Pate, Bolin’s sister.

“You, Kevin Underwood, expect us to forgive. You want to be forgiven for the fact that you intended to try to consume her.

Underwood’s lawyers claimed his crimes were due to his mental health issues.

“You beat her like an animal and raped her. You deserve the original pain and all the things that happened to you.

“You showed me at the age of 14 that monsters are not just a storybook invention. They wear our same clothes and walk our same streets.

Underwood’s lawyers had tried to argue that he should be spared and blamed his heinous crimes on mental health issues and an addiction to pornography.

But three board members voted unanimously against the clemency recommendation, and the final decision rests with Gov. Kevin Stitt.

“I am pleased that the board voted to deny clemency to this deeply evil monster and ensured that justice was served for Jamie Rose Bolin,” said state Attorney General Gent Drummond.

“Jamie’s family has waited 18 agonizing years for justice to finally be served when this murderer is executed.”

Underwood’s execution by lethal injection is scheduled for Dec. 19 at the McAlester State Penitentiary.
