A disabled death row inmate who killed a girl, 8, has been executed by lethal injection.
The Arizona prisoner, convicted in 1984 of the killing of the girl, has been put to death by the US in the state’s second execution since a nearly eight-year hiatus.
The 66-year-old, who was in a wheelchair, died by lethal injection at 10.16 am local time (6.16 pm BST) at the state prison in Florence, 61 miles southeast of Phoenix, for murdering Vicki Hoskinson.
