· Source: WUKY 91.3 FM

Ronald Exantus, who was convicted in the 2015 stabbing death of 6-year-old Logan Tipton in Versailles, is scheduled to be released from the Kentucky State Reformatory on July 29, according to the Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet, WUKY 91.3 FM reported.

The 42-year-old Exantus' sentence is nearing completion after more than a decade in state custody. The case drew significant attention in Woodford County, where Versailles is located, due to the young age of the victim.

According to the source, Exantus may face hospitalization following his release, though additional details regarding the nature and duration of any potential hospitalization were not immediately available. The exact circumstances surrounding any post-release medical intervention have not been disclosed by state officials.

Exantus' impending release marks the end of a lengthy incarceration for the crime. The specifics of his conviction, including details of the offense and sentencing, were established through Kentucky's criminal justice system.
