~~was executed~~ was allegedly executed

Modern journalism sucks. Can't use affirmative voice for anything. Everything is "alleged" this and "sources say" that. Even with a concluded court case that has found proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt - the fairest way that we as a humanity have settled on for determining the truth or falsehood of questions like this - they still won't say the words.

I think there are far bigger problems with modern journalism than being technically correct in favour of the affirmative voice.
